Summary

Sticky, sweet, and smoky beef back ribs seasoned with Holy Cow and Holy Gospel, slow-smoked for deep bark, then braised in Holy Cola BBQ sauce for tender, candy-like bites perfect for a crowd.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the smoker to 275°F. Use post oak if available; mesquite, hickory, or pecan also work well.

  2. 2

    Individually slice the beef back ribs between the bones so each rib has an even amount of meat.

  3. 3

    Season all sides of each rib with a 1:1 blend of Meat Church Holy Gospel and Holy Cow rubs (to taste).

  4. 4

    Let the seasoned ribs rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the rub to adhere.

  5. 5

    Place ribs in the smoker meat-side up and cook until a deep mahogany color and the internal temperature reaches about 175°F, approximately 2 hours 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Transfer ribs to a disposable pan. Add Meat Church Holy Cola BBQ Sauce, drizzle with clover honey, sprinkle on brown sugar, and dot with pats of butter. Cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty foil.

  7. 7

    Return the covered pan to the smoker and braise until the ribs are tender (probe tender), tossing the ribs in the sauce after about 1 hour.

  8. 8

    Remove the pan from the smoker, toss the ribs in the sauce one final time, then remove from the pan and allow to cool briefly before serving.
