Hey all,

Ive got a rib of beef in the freezer that im gonna rub and get on the smoker tomorrow, i fancy giving the meat injector a go (never used one before), any ideas on what would be good to inject in it?

also what wood would you use, im thinking hickory / Oak

Hi Ozza,

I have never injected a beef rib, although I have used a Knife sharpening steel to stud it will Garlic, then rubbed the outside with a couple of Oxo cubes, sprinkled on some freshly activated rosemary, season with salt and pepper and then slow smoked it for about 8 hours.

I think a standard injection could be good, a brisket one I like to use is made up from Cranberry juice, garlic powder, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce.

You could substitute the cranberry for a dark ale.

It's not for any reason I haven't injected a beef rib, just not done one for a long time. Let me know how it goes though because I will be doing one in August.

On the wood front, I like Oak on beef.

Have a good one

Cheers aide, love the idea of ale, worcester sauce, sugar and garlic powder, will let you know what happens
