BBQ Pork Ribs

Mmm, BBQ’d pork ribs!!  And super easy too.

Sprinkle your ribs with your choice of rub.  I use my Montreal Steak Spice mix.  Not hot, just flavourful.  Let it sit 20 minutes or so while you heat up only half of the BBQ.

Montreal Steak Spice

10 t salt

1 T black pepper

4 t onion powder

4 t garlic powder

2 t thyme

2 t rosemary (hoping to find ground)

I mix this and keep it in jar for use on all sorts of meat.

Put the racks of ribs on the ‘cold’ side of the BBQ, meat side down for now.  Turn the other burners down very low -you are aiming for 300F (at the most).  Turn ribs every 30 minutes until they are cooked.  Should take 2-3 hours depending on how much meat you’ve used (crowding takes longer).

Once the ribs are cooked, turn up/on all the burners.  Sauce ribs and grill until you are happy with them.

Growing up I hated pork.  It came from the grocery store and Mom was from the ‘cook it till it’s grey’ school of pork cooking.  Now that I’m married to my pork producer husband I’ve discovered that farm-fresh pork is delicious.  It tastes nothing like the stuff at the grocery store!  I actually enjoy making and eating pork.  Also, remember that most pork can be eaten with a hint of pink (or 165F).  This pork dish is actually one that I was happy to find in the oven growing up.

BBQ Pork Ribs
serves 6
3lb ribs                      1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c vinegar              2 c ketchup
2 c water                   2 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c brown sugar      1 onion, chopped
2 t salt                        1/2 t pepper
2 T butter

Mix the sauce ingredients.  Cut the ribs into serving size portions.  Pour everything into a roasting pan or large casserole dish.
Bake 350F  for 2 hours, stir after the first hour.  This also turns out well in a crockpot on low for 8 hours.
