John's BBQ Ribs

Some of you may have heard about my husband John's famous (at least in or family)  BBQ Ribs.  His ribs are the most requested thing that we (he) makes.  In fact, he had to make the ribs twice this holiday season because both sides of the family wanted him to make them. 

Here's John and how he does it:

First he starts with the ribs. They have to be pork Baby Back Ribs. No other kind will do!

He always pulls this stuff off the back side of the ribs. He calls it the membrane...I call it gross!

Then he generously seasons both sides with "Bad Byron's Butt Rub".

You can use any rub seasoning you like, but this stuff is great.  It's hard to find in stores but you can order it online at:  https://shop.buttrub.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=3 

Once both sides are seasoned you tightly wrap the rack of ribs with plastic wrap and then wrap them again with aluminium foil.  Make the rib packs nice and tight.

 

 

 

 

Place the rib packs in the fridge for several hours or over night.



Remove rib packs from the fridge and let set for 30 mins or so before placing them on a baking sheet.  Note: One that has a lip will save a mess in the oven.

Bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours.  Note: You will want to start your grill to be ready when the ribs come out of the oven.

Once the ribs are out of the oven let them sit wrapped for about 10 mins or so and then remove the foil and plastic wrap. 

Place the ribs on the grill and brush on your favorite BBQ sauce. The ribs are on the grill just long enough to brown the sauce a bit and to give that great grilled flavor...don't over do this step...the ribs were already cooked thru when they came out of the oven.

Once off the grill we normally cut them into 2 bone pieces. 

I'm sorry I didn't have pictures of the grilling process but I got busy making the side dishes for our meal!  Let me know if you give this a try and how you liked it.

FYI: The first time John made these ribs I had a fit when he was going to use plastic wrap on them!  The ribs were expensive and I thought he was going to ruin them by melting this plastic onto them.  But I now know it is an important step and it doesn't ruin them, so don't skip it!
