Cooking tips for Barbecue ribs


The trick to great pork ribs on the barbecue is the thick sweet sauce, I mostly use honey to add sweetness and for the texture, it is important not to put it on too soon or it will burn, turning your bbq ribs into carbon!
For many people barbequing ribs can be difficult because they need to be slow cooked to bring out the flavor and taste.

Slow cooking ribs on a grill is an art form that can be hard to duplicate if you don't have the patience or know how to do it right.
Different types of ribs you can BBQ Pork Baby Back Ribs

Probably the most well known and easiest to cook. They are tender and can be cooked quickly on the grill. Pork baby back ribs are also sometimes called loin ribs or simply back ribs.

They have meat between the bones and are shorter but meatier than spareribs. The rack is shorter at one end, due to the natural tapering of a pig's rib cage. The shortest bones are typically only about 3" (7.6 cm) and the longest is usually about 6" (15.2 cm).

Whilst a pig has 15 ribs, a rack of baby back ribs contains a minimum of 8 ribs but can include up to 15 ribs depending on how it has been prepared by the butcher.
Pork Spare Ribs

These are bigger than baby back ribs and take quite a bit longer to cook. Pork spare ribs are taken from the belly side of the rib cage, below the section of back ribs and above the sternum (breast bone). Spareribs contain more bone than meat and also quite a bit of fat which can make the ribs more tender than back ribs. 
Beef Short Ribs

Are larger and usually more tender and meatier than pork spare ribs. A full slab of short ribs is typically about 10 inches square, ranges from 3 to 5 inches thick, and contains three or four ribs.

The ribs can be separated and cut into short lengths (about 2 inches long), called an "English cut", "flanken cut" across the bones (about 1/2 inch thick), or cut into boneless steaks.

Beef short ribs may be long cooked or rapidly seared or grilled, as in Korean cuisine, in which short ribs (called Galbi), are marinated and grilled over charcoal. Other popular preparations for beef short ribs are barbecue and braising.

To bring out the tenderness they really should be cooked slowly.
Beef Ribs

The largest of all ribs they take a considerable amount of time to cook, particularly if you want them to be tender as they are tougher than pork ribs. It is best to braise them before grilling.
Best way to BBQ Ribs The problem most people have when it comes to barbequing ribs is either overcooking them, which leads to dry and tough ribs, or not cooking them long enough which can be a potential health hazard. One would guess that that is why most of the time they get overcooked. There are ways around this problem

You can pre-cook your ribs either by boiling, steaming or slow cooking them in the oven before you put them on the grill. Make sure you pre-season your ribs before using these methods as this will help bring out the flavor in your ribs.
Many people boil or steam their ribs with beer which not only adds flavor but also tenderizes the meat making it fall off the bone.

You can pre-cook your ribs from anywhere from 1 to 4 hours depending on which method you are using.
Once they have been pre-cooked just throw them on the grill for 5-10 minutes a side and brush on your favorite barbeque sauce.

Before you know it you will have perfectly grilled ribs that are ready to eat. 


BBQ Seasonings

Using barbecue seasonings on your food rounds off the flavour, adding either a combination of delicate nuances or bolder ones to improve the taste.

BBQ seasonings can be combined in certain quantities with certain ingredients to make pre-made barbecue rubs, and we have an growing list of favourites for you to try.
To find out more about BBQ seasonings and their uses on various types of meat, poultry and even vegetables, take a look at our BBQ seasoning guide to get your started.
