Ingredients

• 14 lbs US Wellness Meats Beef Back Ribs
• 1 cup dry rub (your preferred BBQ blend)
• ½ cup olive oil
• 4 fresh peaches, sliced
• 1–1½ cups US Wellness Meats BBQ Sauce (plus more for serving)
• Fresh basil sprigs
• Fresh rosemary sprigs
• Water, as needed
• Hickory wood chips for smoking

Instructions

Step 1: Season & Marinate

1. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
2. Lightly coat all sides with olive oil.
3. Massage the dry rub evenly into the meat.
4. Place ribs in a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to marinate.

Step 3: Layer with BBQ Sauce, Peaches & Herbs

1. In a large roasting pan, place a rack, screen, or foil-wrapped spacer so ribs don’t touch the bottom.
2. Pour water into the pan until it just reaches the bottom of the ribs.
3. Scatter peach slices, fresh basil, and rosemary into the pan.
4. Place one rack of ribs over the fruit and herbs, brushing generously with USWellnessMeats BBQ sauce.
5. Repeat layering with ribs, peaches, herbs, and more sauce.

Step 4: Finish Cooking

1. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
2. Return the ribs to the smoker (or oven) and cook until they reach 200°F or the bones pull away easily.
3. Remove from heat, uncover, and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 5: Serve

1. Brush with extra USWellnessMeats BBQ sauce just before serving.
2. Slice between bones and serve with smoky peaches and herbs as a rustic garnish.
