Berbere is a bold combo of paprika, ginger, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, and a variety of other spices that delivers a profile that’s both spicy, sweet, and slightly citrusy. Chef Ryan generously rubs down these beef ribs in Berbere and smokes them to perfection using the 3-2-1 method. Watch the recipe video below!

  • As needed (roughly 2 Tbsps per side) Spiceology Berbere seasoning
