Introduction
When it comes to barbecuing, there’s nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a perfectly cooked rack of ribs. The tenderness, the smoky flavor, and the perfect balance of seasoning can make for an unforgettable dining experience. That’s why I was thrilled to stumble upon a video by HowToBBQRight that promised the “quickest and most delicious ribs” I’ve ever cooked. Intrigued, we decided to give it a try and see if it lived up to its claims. And let me tell you, we were not disappointed!
Getting Started: Prepping the Ribs
The first step in this mouthwatering journey is to cut the baby back ribs into individual bone pieces. This ensures that the seasoning and glaze penetrate every nook and cranny of the meat, resulting in maximum flavor. Once the ribs are cut, it’s time to season them with a hot rub. We made sure to coat each rib on all sides, ensuring that the fiery flavor is evenly distributed.
Setting Up the Grill
To achieve the perfect smoky flavor, we knew we had to use the right equipment. We opted for a Weber Kettle Grill and set it up for indirect grilling using a charcoal Vortex. This setup creates a consistent heat source that envelops the ribs, cooking them to tender perfection. It’s important to keep the temperature at a steady 225°F throughout the cooking process.
Cooking the Ribs
Now comes the thrilling part – cooking the ribs! We placed the seasoned ribs on the grill, making sure to space them out evenly. The indirect heat ensures that they cook evenly and retain their moisture. We let the ribs cook for 90 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
We relied on an internal thermometer to monitor the temperature of the ribs. Once they reached an internal temperature of 200°F, we knew they were done. This is when the magic happens – the meat becomes tender and juicy, ready to be coated in a delectable glaze.
The Glaze: A Burst of Flavor
To elevate the taste of these already delicious ribs, we prepared a tantalizing glaze. This glaze is a combination of brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sriracha, ginger, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and green onion. Talk about a flavor explosion! The mix of sweet, savory, and spicy elements creates an irresistible flavor profile.
Using a brush, we coated each rib with the glaze, making sure every inch is covered. This step adds an extra dimension of flavor and creates a beautiful glossy finish. The glazed ribs are then cooked for an additional 5 minutes on the grill, allowing the flavors to meld together and the glaze to caramelize slightly.
The Finishing Touch
Before serving these delightful ribs, we couldn’t resist adding a final touch of freshness. We garnished them with chopped green onion, providing a vibrant pop of color and a subtle oniony flavor. It’s the perfect finishing touch that adds an element of freshness to the smoky, savory ribs.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, the “quickest and most delicious ribs” I’ve ever cooked lived up to their name. The combination of the hot rub, the smoky flavor from the grill, and the mouthwatering glaze created a tantalizing taste experience. The tender meat practically fell off the bones, and the flavors were perfectly balanced.
