Instructions
 

  • Whether prepared in a smoker, in the oven or on a gas grill - spare ribs are a real treat! And typical American. There are different types of spare ribs. The St. Louis Cut Ribs, for example, come from the middle part of the costal arches and have a lot of meat between the bones. Baby back ribs, on the other hand, are small ribs and accordingly have less meat between the bones.
  • Different preparations bring variety for the spare ribs lovers. A marinade can also be prepared quickly. The recipe presented has an American marinade. Alternatively, a honey marinade can also be used.
  • Place the spare ribs in the prepared rub and marinate with a delicious sauce before grilling. Good hunger!

Rub:

  • Mash all ingredients in a mortar and mix well.

Marinade:

  • Bring the orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, whiskey and brown sugar to the boil and reduce until about half is left.
  • Add ketchup, honey and BBQ sauce and bring to the boil.
  • Briefly heat the sauce before use.

Ribs:

  • Remove the silver skin before preparation.
  • Season the ribs with the rub. Use about 2 teaspoons of rub for a rib. Massage in well. Place the ribs in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
  • Preheat the smoker or oven to 120 degrees.
  • Brush the ribs with part of the marinade.
  • Place the ribs on a baking sheet or wire rack (with a drip tray), then place in the smoker or in the oven for 2 hours.
  • If you want to prepare your spare ribs on the grill, you need a grill with a lid, with which you can grill indirectly. Heat this to 110 degrees. Cook the ribs in it for about 1.5 hours. Tip: If you like it a little smoky, you can put a few more smoking chips in the embers right at the beginning.
  • After the respective cooking time, brush with the rest of the sauce and place in the smoker, oven or grill for another half an hour.
