Bone-in beef plate ribs weighing up to 400 g each, seasoned with salt and pepper and smoked over post-oak until the collagen fully renders and the meat pulls back from the bone. Served whole at Fort Worth pits.

Beef plate ribs occupy a separate place in the Texas BBQ tradition from pork spare ribs, favouring the massive cut from ribs six, seven, and eight rather than the pork-centric style common in the American South. Fort Worth pitmasters adopted the beef rib as the showpiece cut, partly because the city's Stockyards heritage made beef the prestige protein and partly because the long cook time rewarded the patience that post-oak smoking demands. Heim Barbecue brought the style to Fort Worth prominence when it opened in 2015, earning Texas Monthly honours and attracting guests who drove hours specifically for the house beef ribs.
