1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 to 2-pounds boneless beef short rib
Directions:
Combine all the ingredients for the rub and blend well.
Liberally sprinkle the rub all over the ribs, then let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat smoker to 225o degrees F.
Place the ribs on the in the smoker. Smoke it until it reaches an internal temperature of 180o
Degrees F. Should take about four hours. Alternatively, you can pull the ribs off the grill when they reach 150o degrees F (should take about 2 hours) and serve them like a steak.
Once you have the ribs cooked to your liking, wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and put them somewhere that retains heat well – a cooler or oven will do fine – for 20 minutes while it rests.
Lastly, simply slice the ribs and serve with barbecue sauce.
