Beef Rib Tacos - Cuso Cuts

Today, I’m sharing my Beef Rib Tacos recipe. If you’ve watched any of my Tiktok videos, you know I make tacos in various ways. There’s steak and shrimpchicken, and pork, which only scratches the surface of how you can create unique, creative taco dishes for family and friends. 

If you’re not fond of one ingredient, you can use substitutes. Use parsley instead of cilantro, salsa instead of pico, and hummus or refried beans instead of Guacamole, for example. Have fun with your food, and while you do, personalize it. Make your proverbial secret sauce.


PitMaster’s Memo: Beef vs. Pork Ribs

Most people are more familiar with cooking pork ribs than beef. Both respond beautifully to braising, slow cooking, smoking, and grilling. Cooking on low heat helps break down connective tissue, improving the overall texture of the rib.

So what differences other than the animal from which the ribs came? First, beef ribs are thicker and larger than pork. If you love two-handed food, beef’s the way to go. Meanwhile, use pork ribs if you want to hold a rib in one hand and a beer in the other. Because of the size differences, it takes longer to cook beef ribs than pork.

For beef lovers out there, beef ribs have more marbling than pork, so they taste meatier, akin to brisket. Pork ribs are milder, like a pork chop. Price-wise, pork ribs are more affordable.
