Unlike pork ribs, where you have to remove the membrane from the back first, there&#8217;s no special preparation required with beef back ribs &#8230; just rinse and dry them first. If the ribs appear to be super-meaty, cut the slab into individual ribs first. If they&#8217;re less meaty, cut the slab into sections of two ribs each.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the other ingredients in a slow cooker or&nbsp;crock pot. Layer the ribs and make sure they&#8217;re coated with sauce before cooking.

They&#8217;re tougher than pork ribs, but you fix that by slow-cooking them. These ribs&nbsp;turned out well: meaty and fall-off-the-bone tender. I skipped the hot sauce and liquid smoke this time and the flavor was what I&#8217;d call &#8220;conventional barbecue.&#8221;&nbsp;Next time I&#8217;ll add the hot sauce and liquid smoke&nbsp;for a spicier, smokier flavor. Any of the traditional barbecue sides would be good with these: cole slaw, baked beans, corn on the cob, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not my photo, but one I found on the net.
