Big Bob Gibsons Head Of Beef Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare the rub: Combine all rub ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Preheat a grill or the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Place slab of ribs bone side up on table. Slide a knife under the membrane and against the end bone to separate the two. With a dry paper towel or rag, grasp the edge of the thin membrane and pull. The entire membrane should separate from rib. Note: This will result in a more tender rib and will allow your barbecue flavors to better penetrate the meat.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of rub over each slab, front and back. Place ribs, meat side up, on the grill or in the oven for 2 hours. Remove and place each slab on a doubled aluminum foil square, meat side down. Pour 1 cup apple juice over each slab while wrapping tightly in foil. Cook for 1 more hour at 250 degrees F. Remove slabs from foil and sprinkle with another 1/4 cup of rub. Cook an additional 1 hour, uncovered, until ribs are tender.
• In the meantime, mix together the barbecue sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer and cook 10-15 minutes. Let sauce cool.
• To finish: Remove ribs from the grill or oven, paint with finishing glaze and cook for another 15 minutes. Cut and serve with additonal sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Pull membrane off of the back of the ribs. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of rub over each slab, front and back. Place ribs, meat side up, on the grill or in the oven for 2 hours. Remove and place each slab on a doubled aluminum foil square, meat side down. Combine the marinade ingredients. Pour 1 cup of marinade over each slab while wrapping tightly in foil. Cook for 1 more hour at 250 degrees F. Remove slabs from foil and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of rub. Cook an additional 1 hour, uncovered, until ribs are tender.
• Mix together the BBQ sauce and honey. Remove ribs from the oven and paint with finishing glaze, and cook for another 15 minutes. Cut and serve.

Steps:

• Double a large piece of aluminum foil and place the beef in the center, fat side down. Pour 2 cups of water over the beef while lifting the edges of the foil to trap the water. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Wrap the aluminum foil tightly to cover the beef. Cut a three-inch square hole in the top of the foil (this will allow the smoke to flavor the meat while the foil traps the moisture and juices).
• Build a fire in the cooker with sticks of hickory. Burn the wood until a bed of coals is created. Add logs to the coals as needed to reach and maintain a temperature of 250°F. Place the wrapped beef in the cooker and cook over indirect heat for 16 hours. When the beef is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 190°F, peel the top of the foil back and mop the beef with Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q Vinegar Sop Mop.
• Let the meat rest undisturbed in the foil for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
• Placing whole logs on top of a bed of coals is referred to as "banking the fire." This extends cook times at a low temperature and especially comes in handy when no one will be around to tend the fire. Laying logs directly on top of coals prevents air from circulating under the wood and creating large flames, which would make the wood burn too fast. Banking the fire will cause the logs to smolder and hold a steady low temperature all day or night.
