I love ribs and am not alone.
In the states I had all sorts of tools to do a great job cooking them to perfection. But I've struggled here. My toolkit is limited, unlike some of the restaruants who have the big barrel smokers and cheap labor keeping the coals stoked just right. But even the best of Dominican ribs just don't hit the spot like the ones from home.
We got a hankerin' for ribs recently. So a friend suggested I try his recipe since it doesn't need a lot of tools and the results are supposedly great.
So here is a photo documentary on the latest rib experiment @ Casa CB. Try this one at home, kiddies. Thank me later:
First, good, meaty ribs, seasoned. My friend uses KC Masterpiece BBQ seasoning, but I didn't because it doesn't exist down here. So I used some fajita seasoning with garlic powder and paprika:
Into a bag they went, to "do their thing" for about 5 hours in the fridge:
Time to cook. First thing, wrap in heavy foil, bone bend down:
Packages of pork goodness, ready for the oven:
They cook @ 250f for 2.5hours, come out and get unwrapped, meat side up:
The oven gets cranked to 350f and back in they go to dry out a little before going onto the grill. Remove in 20-25 mins.:
On the grill...mmmm...nothing like rib smoke from the grill. Cook for 3-4 mins, turning frequently while you slather on the sauce. My friend uses Jack Daniels #7, but I didn't have any. I had to settle for some generic Hunts Hickory BBQ sauce. I may switch seasionings and sauce next try.:
They are done:
And on to the table:
The results were fantastic, and they didn't need hours on a smoldering grill. The meat just fell off the bones and they weren't mushy and wet. There is a slight smoky crust. This recipe is a keeper...until something better comes along.
So what's YOUR easy rib recipe?
