Rich, smoky, and fall-apart tender, these smoked beef short ribs are seasoned with Shake That by The Flat Top King & All Night Low & Slow Rub by Ninjacue and served over creamy mashed potatoes with a luscious red wine beef gravy. It's a showstopping comfort meal perfect for weekend cookouts or hearty gatherings.
Season short ribs all over with Shake That by The Flat Top King and All Night Low & Slow Rub by Ninjacue. Let rest at room temp for 30 minutes.
In a foil pan or dutch oven, add carrots, onions, celery, tomato paste, red wine, beef broth, and remaining seasonings.
Preheat your smoker to 250-275ยฐF. Place the foil pan on the bottom rack (so it catches your fat rendering off the short ribs) and short ribs on the top rack.
Smoke for 4โ5 hours or until internal temp reaches ~165ยฐF and bark is set.
Transfer ribs into the foil pan, cover tightly with foil, and return to smoker. Cook until ribs reach ~210ยฐF and are fork-tender throughout.
Remove ribs from the smoker and let rest, covered, for 20โ30 minutes.
Make your gravy: Strain braising liquid into a saucepan. Simmer to reduce, then whisk in cornstarch slurry to thicken.
Plate your short ribs over mashed potatoes, spoon gravy over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley and more All Night Low & Slow Rub by Ninjacue.

Recipe Note
Pro Tip: Use a flavorful wood to add depth: Post oak, hickory, or cherry wood work best for beef. Avoid overly sweet woods like apple or pecan, which are better suited for pork or poultry.
