Grilled Ribs On Gas Grill Recipes

BEST-EVER GRILLED RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill (charcoal or gas) to 300˚, with the coals or flames only under one half of the grill.
• For the spice rub: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne (if using) to combine.
• Place the rack of ribs on a large sheet tray and remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Rub the vegetable oil all over both sides of the ribs, then sprinkle evenly with the spice rub.
• Place the ribs on the sheet tray, with the curves of the bones facing down. Add the chicken stock and vinegar to the tray. Wrap the tray tightly with aluminum foil and place on the grill over the side with no coals/flame. Cook over indirect heat until the internal temperature of the ribs reads 180˚ to 190˚, about 80 to 90 minutes.
• Increase the grill temperature to 375˚ and oil the grill grates well. Transfer the ribs directly over the grill grates and brush the tops with the BBQ sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully turn the ribs over and baste the other side with the BBQ sauce. Cover again and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Continue basting and turning the ribs until the BBQ sauce has created a sticky coating and the ribs are charred in spots, 10 to 20 minutes longer.
• Transfer the ribs to a cutting board, cut into pieces and serve.

GRILLING BEEF RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine rub ingredients until well-blended.
• You can store the mixture in an air-tight container in a cool dry location for future use.
• Mix the basting sauce ingredients well. Notice how your basting sauce complements the ingredients in your rub.
• Soak your chosen flavored wood chips for 15 minutes, then drain.
• Bundling the wood is what will cause smoldering to produce that coveted smoke.
• You can accomplish that with two methods.
• A smokebox is simplest. You can also create a smoke bomb without too much effort.
• Clean the beef ribs by trimming excess fat and meat around the edges.
• Do not remove any of the fat that would sit between the ribs if they were together.
• You need that to assist with keeping your beef ribs succulent.
• Remove any of the tough thin membranes you encounter.
• Run the trimmed ribs under water and pat dry.
• Lightly coat your ribs but do not overseason.
• Be prepared to move your ribs to the grill within 10 to 20 minutes of applying the spices.
• Any longer than an hour and any rubs will begin to change the texture of the meat.
• Some accept this for additional flavoring.
• Place your metal drip pan under the area rack where you will cook the ribs.
• This will be over the unused burner for indirect heating.
• Pour a shallow layer of water in the pan.
• You can also use apple cider for additional flavoring.
• Preheat your grill to the desired setting.
• For beef ribs, you want your grill set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place your grill thermometer so you can more readily keep on top of what is happening inside the grill.
• You are going to use an indirect grilling method. If you only have two burners, only turn one on.
• When you have three burners, the most efficient way to work them is to leave the center off and turn the other two on.
• Place your smoke bomb or smoker box over direct heat right on the cooking grate.
• Allow the grill to come up to your desired temperature.
• Place your beef ribs bone-side down on the grill opposite to the heat source if you have two burners and in the center if you have three.
• Allow ribs to cook undisturbed with the lid closed for 30 minutes.
• This keeps both heat and smoke inside the grill.
• Adjust your grill so the temperature stays between 200 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Baste or "mop" your ribs every half hour.
• This is your opportunity to also quickly turn them to ensure they are cooking evenly.
• An alternative to basting: How to Cook Ribs on Gas Grill in Foil
• Whether you use apple juice or cider or butter and raw sugar, this step will alleviate any doubts about flavor, juiciness, or tenderness.
• Cook ribs for 30 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove your ribs from the grill and place them on a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Tip-up the edges of the foil to create a makeshift dish. Pour apple juice over the ribs and wrap tightly in the aluminum foil.
• Place the wrapped ribs back on the grill and close the lid.
• Increase the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit so the apple juice boils, tenderizing the ribs in the process.
• Unwrap the ribs after 30 minutes of cooking, placing them back on the grill.
• Turn your heat back down to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• This greatly speeds up your cooking process, so look for your ribs to be ready in another 15 to 30 minutes.
• In this low and slow method, your beef ribs will take six to eight hours to cook.
• You may see the fleshy part start to loosen from the bone as they reach the end.
• Use your tongs to see how tender they are.
• You can also cut into the meat to make sure there is no pink remaining.
• If your ribs are in a rack, you can twist the center rib. If it comes away from the meat easily, your ribs are ready.
• Ribs are not the most practical cuts into which to try to insert a probe.
• Some areas are pretty thin. Temperature measurements near the bone do not tell you about meat in the center of the rib.
• However, where meat thermometer placement may be tricky, toothpicks work like a charm.
• When ribs are ready, a toothpick should slide easily in and out of the flesh between the bones.
• If your rack of ribs is till intact, allow them to rest under tented aluminum foil for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

EASY ST. LOUIS-STYLE PORK RIBS ON GAS GRILL

Steps:

• Heat one side of a gas grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Fill a small metal can or container with water. Cover with aluminum foil; make several slits in the foil with a knife. Place on the preheated side of the grill.
• Place ribs bone-side up on the unheated side of the grill; close grill. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Flip ribs and continue cooking until rib meat shrinks back from the bones, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Baste ribs with barbeque sauce. Transfer to the heated side of the grill; cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and baste second side with barbeque sauce. Cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and baste first side with more barbeque sauce. Cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed.

GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Turn the ribs bone-side up. Slip a paring knife between the thin membrane and the bone to loosen, then pull off the membrane. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, steak seasoning, cumin and oregano in a small bowl; rub all over the ribs. Place on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling: For a gas grill, turn off one or two of the center burners and reduce the remaining burners to medium low. On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to the sides, leaving the center open; set up a drip pan to avoid flare-ups.
• Oil the grill grates. Place the ribs bone-side down, overlapping slightly if needed, on the cooler part of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, rotating the rib racks once, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones, about 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.
• Mix the honey, vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Transfer the ribs to direct heat. Brush with the honey mixture and continue to grill, uncovered, brushing with the honey mixture once more, until glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into ribs.
