Dino Ribs Trim

Here’s how I trim dino ribs.

You could just throw them on the pit as-is, but I like to touch them up a bit.

I start by removing the lean layer of meat on top and use that in a stir-fry. If you leave it on, then it may slide around and mess up your top bark.

I inspect the whole thing and clean up any loose or hanging bits.

This is completely optional, but if I have time, then I’ll remove the fat cap and thick silver skin. It doesn’t hurt to leave it on, but you will get a cleaner bite without that silver skin.

You definitely want to leave the bone side membrane on because that is what keeps everything together as it smokes. I used to score the membrane, thinking some of the rub would get up in there. But now, I just leave it alone because I don’t want any of the rendered fat to leach out through the score marks as it smokes.

I also used to round off the corners but stopped doing that as well as I was just throwing that away.

Of course, I save the fat trimmings and render it down into tallow and any meat trimmings are used in stir-fry’s or stews. Nothing goes to waste.

Thanks @PorterRoadButcher for the amazing ribs and @dripez for the knife!

Are you telling me these ribs came from a dinosaur?

Dino ribs, aka, we serve you a cut that used to be rejected or reserved for stew, give it a cool name, and mark it up by 50%. God I miss the days when I could enjoy beef ribs for a good price. My Argentine blood craves beef rib.

how to break down a whole hog? lol love the educational food content

[richardearle]

I take a small portion of the fat and hang it over the meat, I'd say a good 2 inches above the meat and when it's done I prepare it to use for a steak project I'm working on

Do you use the silver skins in like stock?

[snaxximan]

the membrane is also collagen which is really important in your diet.

People should be considering the long term effect of eating saturated fat when thinking about what their regular diet should be.
