So you want to cook ribs huh? You want delicious, tasty ribs on the grill but arent exactly sure how to go about it... Well have no fear, I was in the same boat about 4 months ago, and I have recently figured it out, and thought I would pass it on to all of you...

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ribs( obviously, either pork or beef, your preference)
  • Garlic salt
  • Cinnamon
  • Seasoned Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Sage, Thyme, or Rosemary (again your preference).
  1. Step 1

    Tasty ribs on the grill couldnt be easier. First of all you want to pick your meat. Most prefer pork baby back ribs they tend to be more tender, but still some folks say beef ribs are better, so thats up to you whatever your choosing. Next is the grill, now if your cooking on a charcoal grill, now is the time to get it going, you are going to want to build up some heat. If you are using gas, it doesnt take very long to get hot, so you can wait a bit.

  2. Step 2

    Now I found the secret in cooking ribs, is to actually cook them first before you grill them, believe it or not grilling ribs has very little do with the grill itself. So what you want to do is to get a good sized pan that has a lid fill it with enough water to get about a quarter of it full. Put the meat inside and set the oven to about 200, or 250 and set them in there, it shouldnt take more than 45min to an hour to fully cook through. Remember pink= no good= sick to your tummy. You want pork cooked till it is all white.

  3. Step 3

    After you make sure the ribs are cooked through you are ready to move on to the next step, the dry rub... You will find that all grill masters use one on ribs and other meats, it just helps for that extra flavor. What I like to do is get a bowl out and mix about 2 teaspoons of each of these Garlic Salt, Cinnamon, Seasoned Salt, Black Pepper, and Thyme, Sage, or Rosemary. Make sure to mix them all together so they are pretty evenly distributed in the bowl. Then take your ribs and on one side, take some of the mixture and put it on the meat, and really rub it in with your hands, really work it into the meat. Then turn the meat over and do the same with the other side, making sure to really work it into the meat.

  4. Step 4

    Once thats done, it is time for the grill. Take your ribs and set them on the grill, let them cook on one side for about 5-10 minutes and then flip them for another 5-10 minutes. Now is the time to decide are you going to add barbecue sauce or eat them dry, people like them both ways so it is up to you. If you decide you want barbecue sauce then wait until about the last two minutes on the grill to add it. Rub it on there with a grill brush. Make sure the side is coated, then flip it and add some to the other side. Then when your ready pull them off the grill, and bon appetit.

Tips & Warnings
  • Beef or Pork, doesnt matter
  • Barbecue Sauce or Dry dosent matter
  • Dry Rub important
  • Dont burn them
