Beef Rib Finger Skewers

So you might be curious what beef rib fingers are… Basically, they are the meet that is removed from between the bones in the rib primal (that what google says anyways…)  This is a tough section of meat and is similar to ordinary beef ribs but boneless. Even though it’s a tough section of meat, when you cook it right becomes tender and is packed full of flavour!  In this Smoked Beef rib fingers recipe, we will teach you how to make beef rib finger skewers on the grill in a way that’s easy and makes for a great Superbowl or game day appetizer! We used our MAD COW beef rub.

Once your Beef rib finger skewers have been prepared, set up your grill for indirect cooking at 250F. Once your grill is up to temperature, place the beef fingers onto the grill opposite the coals and begin to smoke your fingers for 1.5 hours using your favourite hardwood.

After 1.5 hours of smoking remove the beef fingers from the grill and place them onto two sheets of foil. Next, add in a couple of tablespoons of butter and splash some Worcestershire sauce on them as well. Tightly close up the foil trying not to make any holes and then place them back onto the grill and continue cooking between 250-275F for another 60-90 minutes or until probe tender.
