Categories     Ribs

Number Of Ingredients 10

two slabs whole spareribs, about 4 pounds each
rib rub number 99, as needed, recipe follows
pineapple teriyaki sauce:
one can crushed pineapple with juice, 20 ounces
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. at least a half-hour and up to four hours before you plan to cook the ribs, peel the membrane off the back of the ribs and cut the flap off. Trim any excess fat. Season the ribs liberally on both sides with a rib rub. Refrigerate.
  • 2. To make the teriyaki sauce, put the pineapple and the juice in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the molasses, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Cook for two minutes, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • 3. Prepare the grill for cooking over indirect heat at 275° using apple or cherry wood for flavor. Place the ribs, meaty side up, directly on the cooking grate and close the lid. Cook the ribs for two hours. Flip and cook for another 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
  • 4. Lay out two big double layered sheets of heavy duty foil, each long enough to wrap a whole slab of ribs. Transfer the ribs to the foil, meaty side up. Top each slab of ribs with one fourth of the sauce, spreading it to cover the entire slab. Fold the foil up around the ribs into a packet. Seal the packets snugly, being careful not to puncture the foil with the bones. Return to the grill for one hour. Transfer the foil packets to a platter. Remove the ribs from the foil and return to the cooking grate. Cook for 30 minutes then flip, and spoon 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bone side of the ribs, spreading evenly to cover the ribs. Cook for another 30 minutes and will begin. Top with the remaining sauce and cook for about another 30 minutes or to your desired degree of doneness. Check for doneness I sticking a toothpick down into the meat, between the bones. It should slide in easily. Transfer the ribs, meaty side down, to a cutting board. With a sharp knife cut through the slab completely at each rib. Flip the ribs back over and transfer them to a platter. Serves 4 to 6.

  • Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  • Bake the ribs in a preheated oven at 300°F for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • For added flavor, you can also brush the ribs with a glaze made from pineapple juice, honey, and brown sugar during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.

The combination of pineapple, molasses, and spices in this recipe creates a unique and delicious flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. The ribs are tender, juicy, and fall-off-the-bone, making them a perfect dish for any occasion.
