By Muhammad Noman

BBQ Wagyu Beef Ribs bring a succulent, rich flavor to the classic barbecue experience. The marbled texture of Wagyu beef makes these ribs incredibly tender, allowing them to absorb smoky, tangy barbecue flavors beautifully. Slow-cooked to perfection, these ribs will be a hit at any barbecue or family gathering. With a flavorful dry rub and a sticky BBQ glaze, every bite melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting more.

Ingredients:

  • 2 racks Wagyu beef ribs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Method:

  1. Prepare the Ribs:
    Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Pat the Wagyu beef ribs dry and rub them with olive oil. Combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne (optional), and salt, then generously coat the ribs with this dry rub.
  2. Smoke the Ribs:
    Place the ribs on the smoker or grill, bone side down, and smoke for 3-4 hours. Make sure to maintain a consistent temperature.
  3. Add BBQ Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar. After 3-4 hours, brush the ribs generously with the sauce, then wrap them in foil. Return to the smoker for another 1-2 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
  4. Finish and Serve:
    Remove the ribs from the smoker and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Don't forget to provide extra BBQ sauce on the side for those who crave an additional kick of flavor. This dish not only shines at summer barbecues but also makes a memorable centerpiece for any special occasion.
