St Louis Pork Ribs On The Grill Recipes

Steps:

• Heat one side of a gas grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Fill a small metal can or container with water. Cover with aluminum foil; make several slits in the foil with a knife. Place on the preheated side of the grill.
• Place ribs bone-side up on the unheated side of the grill; close grill. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Flip ribs and continue cooking until rib meat shrinks back from the bones, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Baste ribs with barbeque sauce. Transfer to the heated side of the grill; cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and baste second side with barbeque sauce. Cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and baste first side with more barbeque sauce. Cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed.

Steps:

• Set a smoker to 225 degrees F.
• Combine the paprika, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg and cayenne in a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder is formed, approximately 30 seconds.
• Pat the ribs dry and turn bone-side up. Trim excess fat and, if one end of the ribs is especially narrow, trim meat and bone to ensure even cooking. Remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs by inserting a rounded utensil, an upside-down spoon works well, between the membrane and the meat at one end of the slab. Carefully work the spoon under the membrane to loosen but not tear. Once enough has been loosened, use a paper towel to hold onto the membrane as you slowly pull it down the slab to remove.
• Sprinkle the ribs on both sides with the salt and brush both sides with the mustard. Sprinkle two-thirds of the spice mixture on the meat side of the ribs and the remaining third on the bone side.
• Once the smoker has reached 225 degrees F, add the wood chips or chunks and the ribs to the smoker.
• Smoke for 4 to 5 hours then test for doneness. There are four criteria that should be met in order for ribs to be done. First, the internal temperature of the meat should be 185 to 190 degrees F. Second, pick up each slab from the center with tongs and it should droop into a u-shape and crack slightly. Third, while holding with the tongs, and bouncing gently, the surface of the ribs should crack slightly. Lastly, the meat should pull easily off the bone but not fall off. If ribs pass all tests, remove them from the smoker and wrap in heavy-duty foil and rest for 15 minutes. If not, continue smoking for 45 minutes to 1 hour and test again until done.

Steps:

• Marinade: Heat vegetable oil in large saucepan over low heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add tomato paste, vinegar, honey, worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered over low heat fro 30 minutes. Set aside half of the marinade for serving.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the ribs on a baking sheet, slather both sides with marinade, and bake for 1 hour.
• Place ribs on hot grill and cook for 3-5 minutes until one side is nicely browned. Turn the ribs and close the cover of the grill, making sure vents are open enough to allow airflow, but not so much that there are flames around the meat. Grill the ribs for 10 more minutes, turning if necessary.
• Place ribs on a platter, brush with reserved marinade, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice between ribs and serve hot with the remaining reserved marinade for dipping.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect cooking (with one side lit and the other side unlit) and heat to between 230 and 235 degrees F.
• Brush the ribs on both sides with the Dijon mustard. Rub both sides with Miss Brown's Rib Rub.
• Place the ribs on the unlit side of the grill. Close the lid and cook until beginning to brown, about 45 minutes. Uncover and spritz with the apple juice in a spray bottle. Close the lid and cook for 3 more hours. Wrap the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and cook until the ribs begin to become tender, 1 more hour.
• Unwrap the ribs and cook until very tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour longer. (Brush on sauce if you'd like during last hour of cooking.) Remove the ribs from the grill. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, pepper, celery seeds, chili powder and cumin in a medium bowl. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine sugar, paprika, mustard, salt, garlic, onion powder and coriander in small bowl; mix well. Coat both sides of ribs with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with seasoning rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 230 to 250 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
• Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. If desired, spray both sides of ribs with apple juice. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
• Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 3 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
