always prefer pork, unless it's korean BBQ than beef

beef ribs are great braised, not a fan of grilled beef ribs


I'm sure Edmorel likes Applebee's "Riblets" too, not sure what animal those come from

Just about the most awful things there are. I'm sure the ones I've tried before were boiled, and then marinated / drenched in so much sauce there was no discernable meat flavour.

Yeah, but some people just don't know any better. Especially people who grew up somewhere without decent BBQ.

I think ribs are always a win-win situation. I love beef back ribs & pork spareribs because they're big and meaty with tons of flavor. Baby back ribs are tender and delicious, but there's something to be loved about each kind. I think beef back ribs are a bit more sensitive to being done right though. They need to be cooked at very low heat for quite some time, preferably in a smoker. My favorite rub to use on beef back ribs is a simpe mixture of coarse black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, & light brown sugar.

Pork vs. Beef vs. Lamb Each has their own delicious flavor, but I would have to say pork. Order from here: http://www.jackstackbbq.com/default.asp

I like Oklahoma style beef ribs the best. Not a fan of pork ribs at all, since most people prepare them too dry for my taste

I have been doing Lamb a lot lately, and the stuff is just incredible. It probably shouldn't be compared with the other two as lamb can be grilled in under 20 minutes. Each lamb chop is like a mini rib eye steak on a bone lollipop stick. The thing with Lamb is that it has little flavor on its own. But it is great at absorbing flavors from a marinade. I marinate them a couple of different ways. Basil pesto and a honey mustard/red wine/rosemary/garlic marinade. Both are outstanding. Here is a link to how I did them. I was going to post the pics in here but the pics suck. I finally upgraded to a DSLR a couple of weeks ago and it makes a world of difference.

I grilled the lamb for the food critic of the St. Louis Post Dispatch a couple of months ago and he was floored by it.

Unless you are a practicing Jew or Muslim.. PORK. Although braised beef short ribs are exceptional, if you want to BBQ beef, it should be brisket, IMHO.

I did Beef Ribs recently and they were basically brisket on a stick in terms of flavor. For either cut foiling is your friend. The easiest way to take a tough cut of meat like a brisket and make it tender or make a fairly tender cut of meat like whole beef ribs and allow you to cut them with a butter knife...
