If you’re a fan of the sliced deli meat, wait till you try pastrami ribs. The brine and rub in this recipe focus on that familiar salt-forward flavor. But the smoking is the key. A slow smoke makes for the type of tenderness meat-lovers go crazy for, and it intensifies the peppery notes as well as boosting all the flavors. Take note that you’ll need to order dino (dinosaur) short ribs, a type taken from the shoulder. Dino short ribs are exceptionally flavorful and essential to this recipe.
