This recipe is a special request from my dear friend Marge. I hope that you'll enjoy making these ribs and better yet, eating these ribs. They are good, guaranteed!
Making these ribs is all a feeling. Season to taste and paint the ribs to your satisfaction.
NOTE: Although the nutritional analysis below reflects a heavy fat content, my ribs cooked in this fashion ARE NOT fat and greasy. So do ahead and try them with that thought in mind. You won't be sorry.

 

You Will Need:

  • 3 slabs of Baby Back Pork Ribs

  • KonrikoKonriko Creole Seasoning, to taste

  • Granulated Garlic Powder, to taste


  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste

  • BBQ Sauce Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Sauce, depending on how much sauce you like on the ribs. Click on the bottle to order.

  • ThermometerMeat Thermometer

    Preparing and cooking the Ribs:

    1. With cold water running, rinse the ribs very well and pat dry with paper towels.

    2. Lay the ribs out on a clean work surface. Sprinkle both the bone and meat sides evenly with the garlic powder, the Konriko and the black pepper. Now gently, massage the meat until the seasonings are rubbed in thoroughly.
    You could do this the night before and place the ribs wrapped in plastic wrap or large plastic ziplock bags in the refrigerate or start to cook right after seasoning. If you do place them in the fridge overnight, allow them to stay at room temperature about 15 to 30 minutes before cooking.

    3. Now you must decide if you are going to cook the ribs on the grill or in the oven. Both work well. I prefer cooking them on my gas grill.

    4. Gas Grill: Lite the grill and let the temperature rise to 550 -550 °. Turn the heat down to two burners and allow the temperature to reduce to 350 ° and maintain it there throughout the cooking time.

    5. Place the ribs on the grill bone side first. allow to cook for about 20 minutes on that side. Turn and cook for 20 minutes. Turn to bone side again and cook for 10 minutes. Turn to meaty side and cook for 10 minutes. By this time the ribs will be browning nicely.

    6. Continue cooking in the matter reducing the time by three minutes on each turn. Now it is time to get the meat thermometer and check.
    You want it to register 180 °.

    7 When it does, remove the ribs from the grill and paint them with the barbeque sauce.

    Painted Ribs

    8. Reduce the heat of the grill to it's lowest setting and place the painted ribs back on the grill. Allow to cook for about another 5 - 7 minutes on each side. Watch closely as you don't want them to burn, but just to carmelize the barbeque sauce a bit.

    9. Remove and allow to cool enough to be able to handle to cut between the ribs. Cut and place on a serving plate. Garnish with your favorite, parsley, watercress, etc. Serve.

    10. If using an oven, preheat it to 375 °. Follow the same method as above.

    ENJOY THESE RIBS !
