BBQ ribs could be the best part of barbecue season, but do you know the proper method of grilling ribs? Well, you’re in luck, we have some great tips that will have you successfully grilling bbq baby back ribs, beef ribs or pork spare ribs in no time!

Making great barbequed ribs does not need to be hard. There are truly only a few tips that you need to bear in mind when grilling ribs in order to get the best results.

Start by using a roasting pan to form a bed of onions and whatever fruit you prefer. Many people like to use oranges or other citrus fruit to provide a sweet flavor to the ribs. The next step in this ribs recipe is to prepare your pork rib rub. Salt, pepper and a touch of chili powder works well.  I find using fresh ground pepper and sea salt gives the best results. You will then use this mixture to coat the ribs. Be sure that the ribs are completely and evenly coated on both sides. Next, place the ribs on the bed of fruit and onions. Now, pour two cups of orange juice over the ribs, cover the roasting pan with foil and put the whole thing on the grill.

With this bbq ribs recipe, you will be grilling the ribs using the indirect method. The ribs will be grilled for approximately an hour or so or until they are tender enough that you can pull the meat with a fork. At this point, the ribs may be removed from the grill and phase two of our bbq ribs recipe kicks in.

The next step in grilling bbq baby back ribs is to increase the heat on the grill to medium and place the ribs directly on the grill rack. You will then cover the ribs and barbeque the ribs for about ten minutes, turning once. Heavily coat the ribs with barbecue sauce and then cook the ribs for another five minutes or so. Check the ribs to be certain, as it could take up to ten minutes or longer for the ribs to be completely finished. Once the bbq ribs are done, they are ready to serve immediately.

Using this technique for grilling BBQ ribs will provide you with ribs that are tender and delicious as well as moist. Keep in mind that you can use any type of fruit that you prefer using this method, including apples.  You can also mix any spices that fit your taste, so get creative, grilling season is around the corner!
