St Louis ribs with homemade BBQ sauce
I snagged the recipe for the BBQ sauce from the Whole30 cookbook. Seriously, if you don't have one yet, GET IT! I love coming up with ideas but this book takes it to a new level :)
I bought a rack of St Louis ribs on sale last week and knew I wanted to grill them. When I found the sauce recipe it was a match made in heaven.
I did a dry rub on the ribs with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. If you've never done a dry rub, it's pretty easy. Just mix up your spiced together then rub it all over the meat. See. Easy. I let mine sit in the rub (in the fridge) for about 4 hours or longer before I cook it.
I like to do my ribs in the oven first and then finish on the grill. So set the oven to 300, place your ribs in a large roasting pan with about a cup of liquid and cover with foil then cook for 1 hour. Take them out and finish them off on a grill over Medium-high heat. About 6 minutes on each side. Just watch it. I left mine yesterday to finish the watermelon and the grill caught fire so the ribs were super charred on the outside. Still *delicious* but not really pretty.
As soon as they are done, baste them generously with the sauce. Use whatever sauce you want. If you're doing a Whole30, use the cookbook! So so good, and has a kick which the hubs loved!
The potato wedges could not be easier. Seriously. Preheat the oven to 400. Cut up about one baking potato per person. Cut them as thin as you like; I usually do them into 8 wedges. Throw it all into a bowl with about 1/3 cup Olive Oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder then mix it all up really well. Place them on baking sheets in a single layer and pop them into the oven. Mine are usually done the way we like them after about 45 minutes. If you want them softer take them out earlier.
If you try this, let me know!
