First Ribs on 590

So, I've never done ribs before. I went to one of our rib experts, Sparky, and had him clarify for me his process. For some reason, I just had to have ribs this week. So, that's what we did today.

First, the rubbin' stuff.

Used Yardbird on one rack. The other rack I used Little Louie's, but I added some fresh cracked pepper. I wanted a finer grind to the pepper, but I was too lazy to fix the grinder. So, I just used some Ancho.

A little yellow French's glue and the above rubs.


On to the grill they went at 275F for two hours. Then, it was FL time. In the FL, I had Filipino Banana Sauce (kind of like a ketchup), some Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, and some butter.




After FL time was over, after using the FL liquid to baste the ribs.


Finished product.


Served with a spinach salad with roasted pecans, gorgonzola, red onion, dressed with Persian Lime olive oil and lemon white balsamic vinegar. Made by De Bebe.


Steamed artichoke with Piment D'Esplette mayonnaise. Also made by De Bebe.


Tasty beverage to wash it all down.


Thanks, Sparky! We really enjoyed that dinner!

Wow looks great!

You done Sparky proud

Great ribs and great side dishes, too. I'd love to taste that banana sauce.

great ribs partner. good pull back, nice color. bet they were tasty. they look good.

Nice! Excellent results for your first time.
Good job!

Thanks, all. They were technically good. Meat was cooked perfectly. I hoped for a little more flavor, but I just didn't use enough rub, I think. I was afraid of getting them too salty. Doing more ribs today with more rub. Going to sauce up two of the three slabs too. We'll see how they come out.

Banana sauce! That's twice now I've seen that..

great looking ribs

Looks great and the banana sauce seems pretty interesting!

Great ribs! It took me a long time to get ribs that looked that good.
