Dime-An-Hour Spareribs
- 2 slabs pork spareribs
- 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Memphis-Style Championship Red Sauce (page 220) or your favorite brand
- Lay the spareribs flat in a shallow baking pan, meat side down.
- Pour the Worcestershire over the ribs and soak for 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, mix the dry rub ingredients together.
- Remove the ribs from the pan and coat evenly with dry rub mixture.
- Build a fire (wood or a combination of charcoal and wood) for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void.
- When the cooker reaches 250F, place the ribs meat side up on the grate and cook on a closed grill for 4 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
- Paint the ribs with barbecue sauce and continue cooking meat side up for 20 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the grill, cut, and serve.
- On the back of all ribs is a thin membrane that lies flat against the bones.
- After cooking, this membrane takes on the consistency of wax paper, so you should always remove it prior to cooking.
- To do this, place the slab bone side up on a cutting board.
- Slide your knife under the membrane and against the end bone to separate the two.
- With a dry paper towel or rag, grasp the edge of the thin membrane and pull.
- The entire membrane should separate from the rib.
- There are those who argue against removing the membrane, claiming it helps hold in juices and keep the rib from drying out.
- The fact is most ribs contain enough fat to keep the ribs juicy with or without the membrane.
