There's not much to this recipe in terms of ingredients or technique. All it really takes is time, but the payoff is huge flavor and a meltingly tender texture (with some bragging rights, too!).
Ingredients
6 lbs.
Kowalski's Naturally Raised Pork Loin Back Ribs
- kosher salt and freshly ground Kowalski's Black Peppercorns, to taste
- your choice of pork rub (such as Rub with Love Pork Rub), as needed (optional)
15 oz. bottle
Kowalski's Signature BBQ Sauce (your choice of flavor), divided (optional)
Directions
- Preheat both sides of grill to medium heat; clean grill grates.
- Turn off one side of the grill (or move coals to one side). Roll out a layer of foil about double the length of the ribs; place ribs in center of foil.
- Season ribs generously with salt and pepper; season generously with rub or brush both sides of ribs with sauce.
- Wrap foil up and over ribs; grill foil-wrapped ribs on cooler side of grill, lid down, for 2 hrs.
- Open foil. Brush ribs liberally with more sauce, if using. Continue cooking ribs on foil, lid down, until meat is fork-tender and starting to pull away from the bone (about 1 hr. more).
- Move ribs off foil onto hotter side of grill; cook directly over the heat until ribs are slightly charred on the edges (about 5 min.).
- Remove ribs from grill; let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 min.
- Slice between bones into individual pieces; serve ribs with additional sauce at the table, if desired.
Tasty Tips:
- To add extra flavor and help bind the pork rub to your ribs, brush them with your favorite mustard before seasoning.
- After unwrapping the ribs, spritz or spray them with a 50/50 blend of apple cider vinegar and apple juice for added flavor and tenderness.
