Ingredients

  • 1 4-Bone Short Rib (2.5 lb.)
  • Pit Boss Lone Star Beef and Brisket Rub
  • 1/8 lb. of Butter
  • 1 Cup Medium Diced Onion
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, Sliced
  • 2 Cups Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Cup Whole Baby Carrots
  • 2 Cups Pee Wee Potatoes
  • 1/4 Oz. Whole Thyme
  • 1 Small Can of Tomato Paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 Large Roma Tomatoes, Diced
  • 1 Quart Chicken or Beef Stock

Directions

  • Preheat your Pit Boss to 225°F
  • While your smoker is heating up, season bone-in beef short ribs with our Lonestar Beef and Brisket Rub.
  • Next, place the short ribs directly onto the grates of your smoker, and smoke for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F
  • Once you reach the correct internal temperature, remove the short ribs from the smoker, open the sear plate, and turn the smoker up to high (~500°F).
  • Next, place your Dutch Oven over the flame broiler and allow it to preheat for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your veggies: Chop up the onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, and garlic cloves.
  • Once your Dutch Oven is heated, add the butter, and allow it to melt before adding onions and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Next, add mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add the herbs, bay leaf, and tomato paste and stir. Cook until the tomato paste begins to turn a brick-red color.
  • Once the tomato paste is the correct color, add your desired stock and the smoked beef short ribs before covering with the Dutch Oven lid.
  • Next, close the sear plate, set the grill to 275°F, and close the smoker lid. Smoke for an additional 2-3 hours, or until the beef short ribs are fork tender.
  • Once your beef-short ribs are tender, remove the Dutch Oven from the smoker, and carefully remove the bay leaf, herbs, and short rib bone before shredding.
  • Season with salt to taste and enjoy!
