Grilled Spare Ribs with Barbecue Sauce image

Wrapped in foil, the spiced ribs oven-cook in intense heat; the foil locks in their moisture for supremely tender results. On with the sauce and over to the grill, and they're ready.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 slabs pork spare ribs (2 1/2 pounds each)
2 tablespoons chili powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 small onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Oil, for grates

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season ribs with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stack slabs on a double layer of aluminum foil; wrap tightly. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until meat is fork-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, cayenne, and desired variation (see below). Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Carefully remove ribs from foil, pouring off any accumulated liquid. Brush ribs generously with sauce; grill until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with extra sauce, if desired.

I'm not a big fan of ribs, but these were actually really good. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the barbecue sauce was flavorful without being too sweet.

These ribs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using a milder barbecue sauce if you don't like spicy food.

These ribs were a bit too fatty for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would recommend trimming the ribs more before cooking them.

I've tried a lot of different grilled spare rib recipes, but this one is by far the best. The ribs are always tender and juicy, and the barbecue sauce is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe!

These ribs were a disaster. The meat was tough and the barbecue sauce was bland. I won't be making these again.

The ribs were a bit dry, but the barbecue sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the ribs for a shorter amount of time.

These ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and had a delicious smoky flavor. The barbecue sauce was tangy and sweet, and it complemented the ribs perfectly. I will definitely be making these again!
