The Best Pork Ribs EVER!!

Tonight we are having pork ribs! One of my favorite foods on the planet and I have been known to partake in rib-eating contests even!

I wanted to share this with you guys, because it is definitely one of the best recipes I have come across and I now count it as one of my staples in the recipe box.

There are 4 steps, it takes an overnight marinade, but it is definitely worth every minute of preparation once you taste the incredibly tender, flavorful ribs. The 1st step is pre-baking the ribs, the 2nd step is the dry rub and overnight marinade, and the 3rd step is the homemade barbeque sauce and the final step is the grilling.



Step 1: Rub the ribs all over with fresh garlic. I use anywhere from 4-6 cloves crushed up. I rub both sides of the ribs and then place in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees. Let cool once completed baking.



Step 2: Once the ribs have cooled off from the oven. Mix together the following ingredients for a dry rub.


1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper (ground)
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin

Rub the ribs all over with spice mixture and cover and refrigerate overnight.



Step 3: In a small saucepan, mix together the following ingredients and simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered for 1 hour. Reserve a small amount for basting the ribs on the grill. The remainder is used for a dipping sauce.


1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp finely chopped onions
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 clove crushed garlic

Step 4: Prepare grill for medium heat. Grill, covered for about 12 minutes, basting with the sauce until nicely browned and glazed.



ENJOY!!

  2. that looks wonderful! I will be trying it when the sun comes out again in the spring. :-) We did an email recipe exchange here - each gal sent a five day meal plan to the others so we all had about 8 weeks of different meals, it really helped us come up with new recipes. :-)(Christie Pride)
