We have been on an exploratory culinary Wagyu journey. Today's stop is American Wagyu beef ribs picked up at Costco. These ribs were pre-sliced and around 6 dollars/pound. They looked meaty with a lot of intermuscular fat. In the same aisle Costco had beef ribs with out a fancy label which were a tad bit cheaper but did not have as much intermuscular fat. In hindsight I wonder if it might of been a better choice.
I seasoned these ribs with a rub and cooked them at 275 degrees for several hours on my BGE. I did not really have a method. I took them out when they looked done. I sauced them and returned them briefly to set the glaze. These ribs did have a wonderful beef taste. They were very rich. In fact, I would venture to say too rich. This is what the Wagyu beef is known for; richness (fat).
I liked these ribs but this will be a one and done effort. You just do not need so much fat in ribs. I also did not like that the ribs were pre-sliced. It meant for a little uneven cooking and meat coverage on the bone. It was a fun and tasty stop on my Wagyu journey.
