Sue-Ann's BBQ rib odyssey continued this weekend with an Instagram Live video featuring 3-2-1 Ribs! Now that restrictions are lifting and we can entertain a few more people at home, consider making these luscious ribs for family on Father's Day.
Sue-Ann chose pork side ribs for this recipe, specifically, the meaty St. Louis cut. 3-2-1 refers to the process: 3 hours of smoking, 2 hours of wrapping (and rehydrating) and 1 hour for mopping with sauce on the grill.
But let's begin with the rub and the sauce (recipe sourced from from Hot Sauce Williams, Cleveland). Sure, you can buy bbq sauce, there's a million great ones on the market, but it's super satisfying to make it yourself at home. Plus it makes the kitchen smell great!!
Rub
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Store mixture in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
Barbecue Sauce
Barbecue Bath (you need 1 cup of liquid total per rib rack)
To prepare the ribs, Sue-Ann massaged them all over with the rub and let them sit (covered, or wrapped in foil) overnight in the fridge.
Soak 2 cups of cherry-wood chips in water for about 20 minutes before draining. Place drained chips in an aluminum foil pie plate and seal with more foil OR make a foil pocket that that you can seal. Pierce the foil several times to allow the smoke to escape.
About 6 hours before serving, light the grill and heat to 250F. Put the foil wrapped chips on the grill. When the chips begin to smoke, put the ribs on the grill as close to the chips as possible. Close the grill and leave it alone for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, remove the chips and discard. Take the ribs off the grill and place in a new foil pouch, then add the Barbecue Bath and seal the pouch tightly, then place back on the grill for 2 hours, still at 250F. This is seriously low'n slow cooking.
After 2 hours, remove the ribs from their Barbecue Bath pouches and place directly on the grill, still at 250F for 1 hour. Spend the last hour generously and frequently mopping the ribs with your delicious sauce, while enjoying the rest of the Fancy Farm Girl Frivolous White. As Sue-Ann's Dad used to say, "baste the chef as often as you baste the meat"!
Serve with cornbread and coleslaw and chilled bottles of Sue-Ann's VQA wines :)
