(Gift) Kenneth of @quesmokehouse was so impressed by a barbecue he had in America, he decided to teach himself how to smoke meats from scratch. This journey of learning and experiments has been going on for close to two years. A few days ago, he delivered his Beef Ribs Platter (good for 3 to 4 pax) to my family and I to try.
Packed in a sleek black box was a pair of massive meat-on-bones that were as audaciously smoky, flavourful and tender as they appeared. Smoked meats aren’t ever going to be as juicy as steaks but I found his ribs very decent in texture, especially the slightly bigger of the two. I really liked that they were not too sweet either. The set included a small tub of sauce which I pretty much ignored since I prefer relishing the meat on its own, but for those who like their meat glossed up and slick with sauce, it’s great.
For the sides, there’s a tub of creamy Mac ‘n’ Cheese and another of, I quote - “incredibly dirty smoky BBQ beans”. The former was pleasant but the latter had everyone going “wow!” - it’s the addition of those smoked meat cut-offs that pushed it to extra tastiness.
You can place orders via Instagram DM to @quesmokehouse, and in case you missed it, Kenneth is doing a Giveaway this month of October too. So do check out his recent post for details.
