BBQ RIBS

It sounds simplistic, but ribs are ribs. OK, not really, but tips for beef ribs can also apply to pork ribs and short ribs. Here is a collection of recipes that I’ve collected, led by the best recipe. Mine.

BBQ Sauce by Region

Carolinas WEST – Tomato-based – Pork only
Carolinas EAST – Vinegar-based – Pork only
Carolinas SOUTH – Mustard-based – Pork only
Kansas City – Tomato-based – Thick and sweet
Texas – Simple dry seasoning – Beef only
Memphis – Dry Rub cooked – web sauce optional

Grandpa’s BBQ Sauce

1 C ketchup
1 C Guiness or dark beer
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
2 bay leaves
2 TBL brown sugar
2 TBL molasses
2 TBL butter
1 TBL Worcestershire sauce
1 TBL whole pepper corns
1 TBL instant coffee
6 oz orange or lemon marmalade
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 tsp hot pepper sauce (Frank’s or Sriracha)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp Grandpa's Thunder Powder or Arghhh Powder
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp ground onion
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp paprika

Combine all ingredients in saucepan.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 60 minutes.
This makes enough sauce to baste 4 lbs. of baby back ribs.
For quicker sauce, buy ‘off the shelf’ BBQ sauce and add to whatever above ingredients you have on hand to give it that ‘home cookin’ taste.
