Flanken Beef Ribs Cooked Right Over the Coals

These flanken beef ribs cook hot and quick right over the fire, and the entire trick is what I call "Burn and Turn." You stay with them the whole cook, turning every couple minutes, basting with butter, and letting them get flame-kissed over the coals.

A Greek-style marinade helps tenderize the meat and get flavor all the way through. Then on the grill, that butter baste develops rich flavor and a truly excellent char on the outside … however the quick cook keeps them juicy.

When they're done, you have actually got that abundant, sturdy taste like a ribeye with a real good, caramelized char … and the very best part is you get to chomp it right off those little flaken rib bones.

  4. Never saw that cut before.
    I’m glad to know that after 16 years of cooking on a Weber kettle I instinctively do all the things he pointed out, plus some other things like the “Black Snake” for smoking between 225 & 250.

  5. Youโ€™re about to make the price of this cut go up Malcom ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
