BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe

Try this wonderful BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe for a culinary treat served up from your own Bbq this summer!

Ingredients: 4 lbs. of thick and meaty pork belly ribs, BBQ sauce (smoked variety), Red wine, Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Honey, Rosemary fresh leaves, Oregano flakes, Salt & pepper to taste, Corn starch or flour

No precise ingredient amounts are needed for this recipe. You can adapt them to your liking. (The more, the better!) Four pounds of meat feeds four famished people, unless you are inviting me, then you will want to double that!

Preparation

Start with marinating the ribs, putting them relatively packed into a plastic bag or non-metal container. Sprinkle them with plenty of fresh Rosemary leaves (dried rosemary leaves may be used but the flavor won't be the same), Oregano flakes and pepper (no salt at this point), then liberally coat them with the honey, BBQ sauce, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.

Turn the ribs and repeat the exact same procedure, then add the red wine, being very careful not to wash out the coating of the ribs (you should pour the wine into the corners of the container).

The wine must cover most of the ribs. Allow them to marinate overnight in the refrigerator, properly turning several times.

Get the charcoal ready and make sure that you have lots of it since pork takes much longer than beef to cook through. You will have to cook the ribs on the upper rack of the grill.

Cooking Method

When the meat is seared on one side, turn it around and put the salt over this side, then duplicate the salting process when the reverse side is also sealed. Then transfer the ribs to the upper rack of the grill for the remainder of the cooking.

You will have to turn them quite a few times in order to cook the ribs without burning. Verify how well they're done by cutting one of the ribs in the thickest part and checking the colour. If you like the meat juicy then they will be ready when the inner flesh carries a very light pink colour without blood at all, but this is for you to decide, for a very well done rib, but drier, the meat must be almost completely white inside.

Some 5 minutes prior to when the ribs are finished, pour more honey over them, allowing it to melt.

SAUCE:

Whilst the ribs are cooking put all the marinade juice into a skillet (it can be sieved if you like) and add 2 or 3 teaspoons of cornstarch or flour to thicken the sauce. Bring it to boil, and then simmer for a few minutes. Examine the thickness of this sauce and add the salt to your liking. If you'd prefer it thicker, add more cornstarch dissolved in any cold liquid (water or wine, etc) to avoid the forming of any lumps.

Important: If you do not want your sauce to taste like cornstarch you have to allow it to cook for about ten minutes in the sauce.

Lastly, serve the ribs with the sauce in a separate bowl, add some good company with a glass or two of wine and enjoy this BBQ pork ribs recipe on a cozy soothing summer's evening!
