WORLD FAMOUS RENDEZVOUS DRY BBQ RIBS

From Nick Vergos of Charlie Vergos Rendezvous restaurant, Memphis, Tenn. Dry BBQ ribs don't use sauce but are served as grilled meat sprinkled with dry rub. You can still keep some sauce around if you change your mind (sauced dry ribs are good too!).

Categories     Pork

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups white distilled vinegar
4 cups water
1/3 cup barbecue dry rub seasonings (from Rendezvous, recipe within my other recipes)
4 lbs pork back ribs (approximately 2 slabs)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, water and dry seasoning to make a basting sauce (seasoning rub posted in my other recipes).
  • Set grill rack to 18 inches above the coals.
  • Placing ribs curls/bones pointing down, cook ribs over direct heat at about 325F to 350F until the underside is golden (about 30 minutes), basting several times while cooking.
  • Flip the ribs, and continue cooking, and basting, until golden brown (about another 30 minutes).
  • Meat is done when it is so hot it burns your fingers to touch.
  • Do a final baste, sprinkle with some more seasoning, and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve fall-off-the-bone ribs, cook them low and slow. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225°F and 250°F (107°C to 121°C).
  • Use a dry rub to enhance the flavor of the ribs. A good dry rub typically includes a combination of spices, herbs, and sugar.
  • Do not overcrowd the ribs in the smoker or oven. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Baste the ribs with a mixture of melted butter and apple cider vinegar every 30 minutes or so. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

With patience and attention to detail, you can easily make delicious dry ribs at home. Remember to choose high-quality ribs, use a flavorful dry rub, cook them low and slow, and baste them regularly. With a little practice, you'll be able to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
