My mouth is watering as I typed the title above.

We just got back from visiting our daughter for her birthday weekend. As is our tradition, we asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner. Her response was, BBQ ribs.

We have a family favorite recipe of Baby Back Ribs, but Costco didn’t have any. Tom was considering the St. Louis ribs, which he’s never cooked. A lady saw him and said, I just made these and they were delicious. She went on the explain how she did it well enough that Tom bought them deciding to give it a try. I am so grateful for this lady pausing to share with him.

These ribs are probably the best we’ve ever had.

Instructions:

1. Prep St. Louis ribs by cleaning off the membranes. Check out this You Tube video on how to do it. It is a necessary step worth the time.

2. Use a good rub. We bought Kinders steak blend. After rubbing the ribs all over with Dijon mustard (so the seasonings stick), sprinkle a generous amount on the ribs, then set each rack in foil.

3. Pour a bit of apple cider vinegar over the ribs just to wet them. This acts as a tenderizer which makes them fall off the bone good.

4. Close the foil over the ribs, and place them in a pre-heated 250 degree oven for about 3 hours.

5. When the time is nearly finished, preheat your grill to medium high and place the ribs on to the grill to brown on both sides.

6. Turn down to low and place them on indirect heat for another 45 minutes to an hour.

7. For the last 35-40 minutes baste the ribs with BBQ sauce. We also used Kinders—highly recommend!

We served ours with twice stuffed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic glaze.

This is now a new favorite. I haven’t been able to eat pork ribs for the last 5 years because they made me feel awful. I decided to take the risk and try them. I’m so happy to say I didn’t feel bad at all. Thank you, Lord!
