Beef Back Ribs n Beans on the Fire

[cowgirl]

Just another cook while camping. I hadn't made beef ribs on the fire for awhile, usually smoke pork spares. These don't have much meat on them but they are kind of tasty.

Soaked some Anasazi beans overnight then set them on the fire after breakfast.

added smoked ham steak, onions, garlic, seasonings and let them simmer on low...

slathered the ribs with bacon drippings and seasoned with coarse salt and cracked black pepper...

let them smoke on the low heat side of the fire, (just like pork ribs) added a log when needed...

flipped and rotated them every once in awhile...

added stock to the beans when needed...

didn't foil the ribs...
I have foiled in the past but prefer non-foiled best.
foiled ribs...

when the ribs and beans were ready I added some corn...
gave them the same treatment, bacon drippings, salt and pepper...

the ribs took about 6 hours....

loved the beans but I was more interested in the ribs...

Just needed one more hand to hold my cold beer.

It wasn't a fancy meal but I really like ribs slow cooked over an open fire.. they just taste special to me. :-D


Thanks for looking!

This might be the one that pushes me to doing open pit ribs Jeanie - looks great! I see nothing but goodness up there!

You've got the touch! I pass on ribs with very little meat on them, but you make them very appealing

Great Minds?? Just returned from fishing the San Juan with a 20# sack of Anasazi beans and 5 bottles of Adobe Milling bean spice.

You eat well on your fishing trips. I use a microwave )

Great looking meal cowgirl !!

Camp cooking at it's finest. Real nice Jeanie, glad to see you had great weather at camp too!

Everything looks great, Jeanie. A fine meal!

Just wonderful!

I haven't seen Anasazi beans here in PA. Is their flavor akin to a kidney bean or a navy bean?

Wow that all looks great. I really enjoy long cooks over a real fire, not that I could ever match that. We are having out first real cold front hit tomorrow driving temps down to the 40's at night and 60's to low 70's during the day; perfect for firing up the ranch grill.

Haven't tried those sort of beef ribs due to lack of meat. But I swear, everything you cook looks good. You have the "touch"...

 

[grc_42]

I can almost taste the ribs, looks amazing

 

[Pitbull]

Looks good! It also looks like you're at lake Texoma..
