Smoked Beef Pastrami Ribs

Beef Pastrami Ribs

Turn rich beef ribs into bold, deli-style pastrami with a deep cure, peppery crust, and slow smoke. Perfect for slicing thick and serving hot off the board.

Ingredients

  • Beef Ribs (plate ribs preferred)
  • 1/3 cup Kosher Salt
  • 3 tbsp Pickling Spice
  • 2 tbsp Pink Curing Salt (Prague Powder #1)
  • 1 gallon Water (or enough to fully cover ribs)

For the Pastrami Rub (after brine)

  • 4 tbsp fresh coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

1️⃣ Brine

  1. In a large container, combine water, kosher salt, pickling spice, and pink curing salt. Stir until fully dissolved.
  2. Place ribs in a brining bag or food-safe container.
  3. Pour brine over ribs until fully submerged.
  4. Seal and refrigerate for 7–10 days, flipping once daily to ensure even curing.

2️⃣ Rinse & Dry

  1. Remove ribs from brine.
  2. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess cure.
  3. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Place uncovered in the fridge for 12–24 hours to develop a tacky surface (pellicle) for better smoke adhesion (optional but recommended).

3️⃣ Season

  1. Lightly coat ribs with a binder (mustard or beef tallow).
  2. Generously apply pastrami rub, pressing it firmly onto all sides.

4️⃣ Smoke

  1. Preheat smoker to 250°F.
  2. Use oak, hickory, or cherry wood.
  3. Smoke ribs until internal temperature reaches 165–170°F (about 4–5 hours depending on size).

5️⃣ Wrap & Finish

  1. Wrap ribs tightly in butcher paper or foil.
  2. Return to smoker and cook until internal temperature reaches 200–203°F and ribs are probe tender.

6️⃣ Rest & Slice

  1. Remove from smoker and rest wrapped for at least 1 hour.
  2. Slice between bones or carve across the grain.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy that smoky, peppery pastrami flavor.

🔥 Pro Tip: Chill overnight after cooking for ultra-clean slices, then reheat gently before serving for true deli-style pastrami ribs.

  • Salt (for brining)
  • Beef Wagyu Tallow

Instructions:

  1. Sprinkle salt generously over the beef ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the ribs in the refrigerator for 48 hours to allow for a thorough dry brining.

  3. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the ribs with a thin layer of Beef Wagyu Tallow.
  4. Sprinkle Texas Jalapeno Salt evenly over the ribs to add flavor.
  5. Cut three layers of Heavy Duty Aluminum foil, ensuring the length is twice that of the rack of ribs. Place 3-4 ice cubes under the rack of ribs.

  7. Put the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven at 500 degrees for 30 minutes to give the ribs a nice sear.
  9. After the initial searing, reduce the oven temperature to 270 degrees and bake for an additional 2 hours, allowing the ribs to cook low and slow.
  10. Take the ribs out of the oven and let them rest, still wrapped, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. This resting period helps the juices redistribute and enhances the tenderness of the meat.
  11. Unwrap the beef ribs, slice, and serve. Enjoy your delicious oven-roasted beef ribs!
