Mesquite

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.

    Pour the beer into the bottom of the pan (be careful not to wash the seasonings off the ribs). Cover the pan tightly with foil. Increase the Traeger temperature to 250°F and continue to cook the ribs until the meat is meltingly tender, 2-3 hours more.

    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!
