How to Make Best Ever Bbq Ribs
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Apply a thin layer of your favorite dry rub to both sides of the ribs.
- Place the ribs on the smoker, meat-side up. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- While the ribs are smoking, prepare your BBQ sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove ribs from the smoker. Apply a generous layer of BBQ sauce to both sides.
- Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and return them to the smoker for another 1-2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
- Remove the ribs from the foil and apply another layer of BBQ sauce.
- Return the ribs to the smoker uncovered for the last 30 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize and create a beautiful bark.
- Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
