Salt & Pepper Beer-Braised Beef Back Ribs
By Traeger Kitchen
Beef back ribs may not have as much meat on them as pork ribs, but when slathered in Traeger 'Que sauce, they're downright delicious. Traeger them in a pan to prevent burning and keep the meat succulent.

Carefully remove the foil. Discard the braising liquid and serve the ribs with Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce. (You can brush the sauce on the ribs and sizzle them on the grill, or you can serve the sauce on the side.) Enjoy!
