Ribs are a classic BBQ dish that never fails to impress. But if you want to take your rib game to the next level, why not try making a rib volcano? This show-stopping dish is sure to wow your guests and is surprisingly easy to make. Here’s how:
Ingredients:
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- While the ribs are cooking, mix together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the ribs are done cooking, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap them.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit down the center of each rack of ribs to create a “volcano” effect.
- Drizzle the BBQ sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure to get it into the slit you created.
- Place the ribs back in the oven and broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and bubbling.
- Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving:
To serve your rib volcano, place the ribs on a platter with the slit facing upwards. You can garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for a pop of color. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven, so be sure to dig in right away!
Now that you know how to make a rib volcano, you can impress your friends and family with this unique and delicious BBQ creation. Enjoy!
