Bourbon BBQ Ribs
Our Bourban BBQ Ribs has it all – start with a dry rub before slow cooking and our Bourbon BBQ Sauce to finish them off. One of Wurstmeister Mike’s favorite rib recipes!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 lbs. side or back ribs
For the Dry Rub
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 3 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
For the Bourbon BBQ Sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp fresh ground ginger root
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix together all the ingredients for the dry rub until evenly combined.
- Coat pork ribs with the dry rub and let them sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight. Store any unused dry rub in an airtight container for later use.
For the Bourbon BBQ Sauce
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
- Add the garlic and onions and cook until the onions have softened, stirring occasionally.
- Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and simmer very slowly for about 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce reaches a brush-able consistency, stirring occasionally.
- Let the sauce cool for a half hour or so then puree the sauce in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
- Cook the ribs very slowly on the grill for a couple of hours by using only one burner of your grill and cooking the ribs on the opposite side, not under the direct heat, turning occasionally.
- Or you can cook the ribs in a covered roasting pan in a 275°F oven for about 2 hours. Either way, you decide to cook them, finish the ribs by grilling them directly over medium heat, brushing on the BBQ sauce and turning them after a minute or two. Do about 3 coats of sauce on each side of the ribs. Remove from the grill and serve.
