4-6 servings
Preparation time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 4-6 pounds ribs (1 pound loin back ribs per person or ¾ pound country style loin ribs per
person) - 1 (3 ½-ounce) bottle liquid smoke
- 2 cups water
- 1 bottle any Lunds & Byerlys barbeque sauce
Directions
- Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; remove any excess fat. Place in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
- Pour liquid smoke and water over the ribs.
- Cover and steam over moderate heat for 20-25 minutes. Drain.
To grill:
Grill drained ribs 3 inches from moderate coals for 20 minutes, turning once. Brush with homemade barbecue sauce (see recipe below), or keep it simple with a bottle of Lunds & Byerlys barbeque sauce of your choice. Continue grilling until ribs are done (20-30 minutes), basting often with sauce.
To rotisserie:
Lace or weave drained ribs onto rotisserie rod, balancing ribs for even cooking and turning; secure ends with holding forks. Arrange medium-hot coals at the back of the fire box; place drip pan under ribs. Cook ribs until done (about 1 hour), basting often with barbecue sauce.
To bake:
In a shallow baking pan, arrange drained ribs in a single layer. Spread with barbecue sauce. Bake, covered, in a 325 F oven until tender (about 1 hour).
