Hey there! So, I was digging through my grandma's recipe box the other day, and I stumbled upon a true gem - her famous pork ribs recipe! Now, I'm no culinary expert, but trust me when I say these ribs are the real deal
.Im excited to share it with you, so here's how I did it
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 3½ pounds baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2½ teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- ¾ cup BBQ sauce
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. While it's heating up, let's prepare those ribs for a flavor explosion!
- Pat your baby back ribs dry with paper towels. Now, here comes the tricky part - removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. It can be a bit finicky, but with a little patience and a good grip, you'll have it off in no time.
- In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, smoked paprika, and freshly cracked black pepper. This spice rub is going to be the secret to infusing your ribs with mouthwatering flavor.
- Rub the spice mixture all over your ribs, ensuring every inch is coated in deliciousness. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty - this is where the magic happens!
- Once your grill is nice and hot, place your ribs on the grill grates, bone-side down. Close the lid and let them cook for about 1½ to 2 hours, or until they're tender and cooked through. This is the part where you might need to resist the urge to peek - trust me, the aroma alone will be worth the wait!
- When your ribs are almost done, it's time to slather on that BBQ sauce. Brush a generous amount onto the ribs, coating them evenly. Let them cook for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create that irresistible glaze.
- Carefully remove your ribs from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board. Now, here's the hardest part - letting them rest for a few minutes. I know, it's tempting to dive right in, but trust me, this step is crucial for keeping those juices locked in.
And there you have it - My Grandma's Famous Pork Ribs, straight from her kitchen to yours! Don't be shy with the BBQ sauce, embrace the mess, and most importantly, enjoy every sticky, finger-licking bite. Oh, and if you happen to have any leftovers (unlikely, but hey, miracles happen), they make killer sandwich fillings. Happy cooking, and may your ribs always be as tender as your heart!
