DREW'S SPECIAL RIB SAUCE



Drew's Special Rib Sauce image

When Damon's Restaurant left our area, I had to create their wonderful rib sauce. This deliciously sweet, hickory-flavored sauce is my family's all-time favorite! When I want a little heat, I add some hot sauce to recipe. Great on chicken, pork chops, meatloaf, and country ribs, cooked in the oven or on the grill. It even makes good baked beans. However, for ribs that live up to their name, try the Best Babyback Ribs in Town, Recipe #57185. This recipe came from my cookbook, "True Southern Family Favorites".

Time 3h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 racks back ribs, membrane removed
1/2 cup Pork Rub, recipe follows
Olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 red jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons onion powder
4 tablespoons garlic powder

  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall off the bone.

  • Baste the ribs with your favorite sauce during the cooking process. This will help to keep the ribs moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving. This will help the meat to reabsorb the juices and make it even more tender.
