This Grilled Pork Ribs recipe is from the The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook: Healthy Cooking and Good Living with Pasture-Raised Foods. Used with permission.
HINT: You can mix double and triple batches of rub and keep in a jar for future use.
BBQ SAUCE:
1cupKetchup (Hunts has no high fructose corn syrup)
0.51cupRed wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar (depending on your taste preference and the strength of your vinegar)
½cupMolasses
2tspSugar
½tspCoarse salt
¼tspGarlic powder or 2 large cloves, minced
¼tspOnion powder (or 2 tsp finely chopped onion)
¼tspTobasco sauce (we like Frank’s Hot Sauce; go lightly if you do not like things really hot!)
HINT: We often make a triple batch and freeze some for use another time.
1
Mix rub ingredients together and smear over all surfaces of meat, wrapping meat rather tightly in plastic wrap. Let sit at least 4-6 hours or overnight in refrigerator. Longer is more tender and mouthwatering.
2
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Bring ribs to room temperature; place ribs in a shallow baking pan in the middle of your oven (or 2 pans if doubling the recipe). Roast for about 3.5 to 4 hours, until tender.
3
Meanwhile make the sauce by combining all ingredients. Then coat the meat generously with the Homemade Barbecue Sauce, and cook for 30 minutes longer before removing from the oven.
4
HINT: Try your own additions: extra tobasco sauce, other hot sauces, honey…and the possibilities are endless!
5
To serve brush once more with Homemade Barbecue Sauce. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
