How To Cook Barbeque Ribs

How To Cook Barbeque Ribs
Author: Andrew Bicknell

Nothing says barbeque quite like a rack of ribs covered in
finger licking good barbeque sauce. If prepared correctly there
is nothing better than bbq ribs. But 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. But never fear there are
ways to take the guess work out of how to cook barbeque ribs.

First off let’s look at the different types of ribs you can
barbeque.

• 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 Spare Ribs – These are bigger than baby back ribs and
take quite a bit longer to cook.

• 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

• Beef Short Ribs – Also need to be slow cooked to bring out
the tenderness. Much like beef 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.
