Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Pork country ribs |
| 1 | Cup cider vinegar |
| 2 | Teaspoons black pepper |
| 2 | Cups Open Pit Barbecue Sauce |
| 1 | Cup molasses |
| 1 | Teaspoon garlic salt (optional) |
| 1/4 | Cup A-1 Sauce |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ribs:
- Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork country ribs, ensuring they are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
- To prevent uneven cooking, consider scoring the meat lightly with a sharp knife.
-
Marinate the Ribs:
- In a large baking pan, pour cider vinegar over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Sprinkle the ribs with garlic salt and finely ground black pepper for seasoning.
- Allow the ribs to soak in the marinade, ensuring all sides are covered. This step enhances the sweetness of the meat.
-
Fire Up the Grill:
- Prepare a moderate hot fire on the grill, placing it a couple of inches or more from the meat.
- Add hickory chips to the charcoal to infuse the ribs with a delicious smoky flavor. Be cautious to prevent flare-ups that could affect the taste.
-
Grill the Ribs:
- Once the grill is ready, place the marinated ribs on the grill grates.
- Cook the ribs, turning them often to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning. Do not cover the grill during cooking.
-
Timing is Key:
- Pay close attention to the cooking time, as it determines the doneness of the ribs.
- Aim to remove the ribs from the grill one minute after they are cooked to perfection, ensuring they are browned and tender.
-
Prepare the Special Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine Open Pit Barbecue Sauce, A-1 Sauce, and molasses.
- Heat the sauce over low heat until it reaches a slow boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, serve them hot off the grill with the warm special sauce on the side.
- Alternatively, for a saucier option, coat the cooked ribs with the warm special sauce before serving.
-
Storage and Reheating:
- Any leftover special sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
- When reheating, simply warm the sauce until hot and pour it over leftover ribs for a delicious meal.
