We were in Coles picking up some bits and pieces and had a stickybeak through the meat aisle where we found some packs of beef shorties. They were a decent size with a good amount of meat on them and at $8 a kilo a reasonable price. $10 used to be the going rate but now you see them anywhere up to the $18 mark.
We were throwing a chuck in the Hark and decided to give these a try at the same time. They were trimmed up and marinaded in a Korean Kalbi marinade and left overnight. Next day they were into the smoker for 3 hours with some hickory chips. Then foiled up for another 3 hours with a bit of extra Kalbi.
They came out nice and tender with still a bit of bite. Not falling off the bone as you might expect with so long wrapped. I think using a tray with foil over it rather than the tight wrap helped here but could have just been the meat. Only problem was there were only 4 and everyone wanted some
Cheers, Wayne and Jan
Beef Shorts $8 a kilo
Just a bit of trimming to get rid of some fat and silver skin
A rub over with some Kalbi marinade and into the fridge overnight
Next day and a sprinkle of rub and they're ready for the smoker
Into the Hark with some hickory chips for the first 3 hours
Time to wrap. We used a foil tray this time instead of a tight wrap.
3 more hours in the smoker and here they are
