Different approach to grilled ribs

[Worx4Me]

Just threw my country style ribs in water to boil with salt/pepper.

Question: no BB sause~no ingredients to make it...no sauerkraut....Is there another way to cook them on the grill that I don't know about????

[Worx4Me]

Oh, forgot I added garlic to the H2O also!

I'm going to try the middle one. Thank you KW...I'd like to make these with country green beans, but my beans are fresh from the garden..how much longer should I cook them for?

[Worx4Me]

Oh, Lordy! They're on the grill now and they smell AMAZING! Making Sweet and Sour Beans with them.... And super tators!

[Kitchen Witch]

Enjoy!!!! I hope it works well for you!

[Worx4Me]

That was super awesome! I boiled them for about an hour and a half and then rubbed them with that mixture...put them on the grill and WOW!

I would suggest next time you put on the dry rub put them on a baking pan, cover tightly with foil after laying a piece of parchment to keep the foil off the meat. Bake in 300 Degree F oven 2 1/2 - 3 hours until fork tender, and then put them on the grill with your sauce. I have said before that I think boiling ribs causes loss of flavor.

We like orange juice concentrate, spicy mustard and vegetable oil in equal parts, basted on at the end of slow grilling, but watch it because the sugar burns fast. This is great on chicken too. Few ingredients and us ally on hand.

[Worx4Me]

I know they lose a lot of flavor by boiling, but I can't get over the fattyness of them if I bake them without boiling. Any suggestions to this problem?

[Worx4Me]

Or would baking them on on a rack inside the pan make that go away? I'm not very good with ribs because all we did with them when I was growing up was boil them with sauerkraut.

[Kitchen Witch]

first of all - remove the silver skin - rinse off and pat dry - rub with your favorite spices and place in a baking pan with a bit of oil - cover - bake - when just about done slather on the BBQ sauce (if using), return to oven to bake an additional 15 minutes, turning - uncovered

I alway remove the silver skin and the lumpy fat thingies - everyone likes my ribs

[lvdkeyes]

I do use a rack to reduce the fattiness. If you use a deep roaster you can add a bit of water under the rack, but not have the meat in the water.
