Grilled Pork Ribs
Ingredients
6 lbs.
Kowalski's Naturally Raised Pork Loin Back Ribs
- kosher salt and freshly ground Kowalski's Black Peppercorns, to taste
- your choice of pork rub (such as Rub with Love Pork Rub), as needed, or 14 oz. bottle Kowalski's Signature BBQ Sauce, divided
Directions
- With lid down, preheat both sides of a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat; clean grill grates.
- Turn one side of the grill off (or move coals to one side).
- Roll out a layer of foil approx. double the length of the ribs; place ribs in the center.
- Season ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Season generously with rub or brush with sauce on both sides.
- Wrap the foil up and over the ribs; grill foil-wrapped ribs over unheated side of grill, lid down, for 2 hrs.
- Open foil; brush sauced ribs liberally with more sauce. Continue cooking on foil, lid down, until meat is fork-tender and starting to pull away from the bone (about 1 hr. more).
- Move ribs off the foil onto the heated side of the grill; cook directly over the heat or coals until ribs are slightly charred on the edges (about 5 min.).
- Remove ribs from the grill; let rest for 10 min.
- Slice ribs into individual rib pieces; serve with additional sauce at the table, if desired.
Pro Tips:
- Wrapping the ribs during the first cook ensures they turn out meltingly tender.
- To add extra flavor and help bind the pork rub to your ribs, brush them with your favorite mustard before seasoning.
- After unwrapping your ribs, spritz or spray them with a 50/50 blend of apple cider vinegar and apple juice for added flavor and tenderness.
