Beef short ribs slow-smoked with a ceremonial-grade cacao and coffee rub for a deep, earthy frequency.
Combine cacao, coffee, sweetener, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture generously over all sides of the ribs.
Preheat your smoker to 250°F using hickory or oak wood to establish a steady, clean smoke.
Place ribs in the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 203°F and they are probe-tender.
Remove from heat and wrap in butcher paper, allowing them to rest in a warm cooler.
The cacao rub is not just for flavor; it's a grounding element that bridges the gap between the smokiness of the meat and the sweetness of the fat. Let these rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the juices to harmonize. Inspired by Ceremonial Cacao-Rubbed Short Ribs.
