My Favorite Way to Cook Ribs

Mumbo Jumbo Fan, Kelly McHugh recently submitted this tip for cooking great ribs with Mumbo Jumbo, Kelly says:

I smoked Baby back ribs by seasoning with EVERYDAY and placing in tin foil wrapped tightly. Inside the tin foil I placed water (very importnat step) then I smoked these on my BIG GREEN EGG at 250 for an hour. Then I took them off and basted lightly with the South Carolina Bar B Que sauce (mustard and vinegar) and sealed up the tin foil (there is hardly any water left now) and smoked for 2.5 hours at 250. The bones were coming out and the ribs were supermoist and DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

If you have a regular grill, I suggesst boiling the ribs for one hour in your oven . Use the Mumbo Jumbo seasoning of your choice and allow this to simmer. Then baste or leave with just Mumbo Jumbo and grill until the bone comes out. Tin foil acts similiar to a convection oven and prevents hot spots that flare into burnt pieces.”

I agree with Kelly that cooking ribs in oven in aluminum foil is the way to go.  I also use Mumbo Jumbo — Everyday as my rib rub (but next time I’m trying JAVA).  Instead of her Carolina bbq sauce,  I prefer to use a braising liquid courtesy of Food Network’s Alton Brown:

Braising Liquid

  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hone
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Instructions:

Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil.  Pour the braising mixture inside the aluminum foil.  Cook for 2 and a half hours on 250.  Remove ribs from oven and pour liquid into pot.  Cook (reduce) over medium heat for 20 minutes until liquid is thick sauce.  Place ribs on grill for 30 minutes and brush with braising sauce.

I’ve cooked and eaten a lot of ribs and these cannot be beat!

Shake…Grill…Enjoy,

Jeremy
