Best Beef Ribs in Austin
Massive plate ribs — the "brontosaurus bones" of Texas BBQ. A single beef plate rib can weigh over a pound. When done right, the meat pulls clean from the bone with a bark that's nearly black and a smoke ring that goes deep. These are not the thin, sauced baby back ribs of a chain restaurant. These are prehistoric, primal, and magnificent.
