When you're out of McDonald's Limited time you can turn to this trick for de-boning your ribs for a succulent BBQ sandwich.
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 Slab of pork spare ribs (avoid “shiners”)
- 2 French rolls
- Hamburger Dill Pickles
- ½ small onion, slivered
- 2 cups BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup dry BBQ Rub
Instructions
So how do you remove the bones?:
- Peel the membrane off the bone side of the slab by loosening the tough tissue at one end with a blunt knife and then grasping with a dry grip of paper towel. The trick is being able to grasp as much of the membrane end at once. It may take two peels but should come of clean.
- Next, gently score the surface of the slab where the bones meet the meat. This will allow the bones to “fall off the meat” or vice versa. You want to get the meat to pull away from the bones but not totally fall off and break apart.
- Divide the slab into two halves and smoke at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 90 minutes. Or sue 3-2-1 method (3 hours at 225, then 2 hours wrapped in foil, last hour undrapped to sauce and tighten up)
- Wrap tightly in foil and add ½ cup of liquid like beer – I used a domestic dark beer - or cola
- Cook an additional one to two hours at 300 degrees until bones protrude at the ends.
- Add sauce and grill on high heat to char (preferred method) or dredge in sauce (traditional method) and place on toasted roll.
- Add slivered onions and hamburger dill pickles.
