Roast garlic. This step can be done ahead to save time, or skipped altogether, but I think the roasted garlic really makes the glaze taste amazing. Bring the start of the sauce to a boil. Heating the pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar to a boil, then reducing the heat to simmer helps all the sugar fully dissolve.

This is just an overview; the full ingredients and directions are in the recipe card toward the bottom of this post. Also, if you don't have any coconut oil on hand you can substitute it for an equal amount of butter, vegetable shortening or bacon grease. Fire up the grill and bring it up to a temperature of about 225°F. For best results, use indirect cooking by placing the ribs on one side of the grill with no direct flame underneath. Close the lid and let cook for 4-5 hours or until fully cooked and tender. One of my other favorite uses is adding a couple of spoonfuls to baked beans. I never just heat up a plain can of bean, preferring to saute an onion and add a bit extra seasoning to make them more special; this sauce has been my latest addition and it’s a good one too.You can also store leftover cooked ribs properly and enjoy them later. First, separate the meat from the bones and place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, you can use either a microwave or an oven. If using a microwave, cover your dish with a damp paper towel and heat for 30 seconds at a time until the meat is hot enough. Alternatively, you can reheat the ribs in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 15-20 minutes. Non-roasted garlic– personally, I find roasted garlic gives this sauce the best flavor, but if you really don’t have time, or can’t get good quality fresh garlic, the jars of pre-minced garlic will work. I would use between 1 and 1 1/2 Tbsp. Though not a food item I have legions of fans who love this Wood Butter for cutting boards and wooden utensils as much as I do. Can’ t buy a new cutting board? Refresh it! I’ve got a couple of new favorites I’ll be sharing this week…and this sauce has been deemed good enough to be first!

These delicious ribs pair perfectly with a variety of side dishes that complement their rich flavors. You may opt for traditional barbecue sides such as potato salad or coleslaw, but branching out to more unique sides like grilled pineapple or mac and cheese can add extra flavor dimensions to your meal.If you’re feeling adventurous and crave something different from this classic recipe, try experimenting with other glazes like Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper instead of pineapple juice. Teriyaki sauce can also be a great choice as a marinade for an Asian-inspired twist.

The ingredient list may seem long but the items are typically pantry staples you might already have including: ( complete list and instructions at bottom of post) Finally, remember that even the best recipes can fall flat without proper execution. Be sure to follow the tips for perfect results section and take your time throughout each step – from removing the membrane to creating the glaze. And most importantly, have fun with it! As with most sauce or glaze recipes, you can absolutely make this recipe ahead of time. It will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator (in an airtight container of course). Another tip we suggest is basting your ribs with extra barbecue sauce as needed when reheating them, thus keeping your ribs moist and enhancing their flavors.

📖 Recipe

For those without access to an indoor stove top or outdoor grill setup, you could prepare this recipe on a pellet smoker grill instead. There are plenty of guides available online that explain how to properly prepare your pellet smoker grill for indirect cooking. Sixthly, let your ribs rest for 10-15 minutes after removing them from the grill. This will allow them to reabsorb their juices and make them easier to cut. The first step in making these delicious ribs is to prepare them with a rub. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of chili powder. Once mixed, rub the seasoning onto both sides of the ribs. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies for maximum flavor.
