Finger Lickin’ BBQ Ribs

Summer is here and the BBQ’s are going full speed.

Summer is the time to grill everything. From meat to veggies to fruit to garlic bread.

One of my favorite BBQ dishes has to be ribs. I love BBQ ribs. I love them done to perfection lathered in sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. The perfect ribs in my book must slide right of bone and fingers must be licked afterward.

For years I tried to perfect my ribs. There was always something missing. My family and friends kept assuring me that they are delicious, but they were not up to my rib standards…..till the other day.

My BBQ ribs were PERFECT. When I bit into that juicy and meaty rib slathered in BBQ sauce the angels were singing (in my head of course). My family was speechless and my friends didn’t want to go home. I finally made Finger Lickin’ BBQ Ribs.

The secret to my Finger Lickin’ BBQ Ribs? SLOW COOKER.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds Pork Side Ribs
• 1/2 cup Beef  Broth
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
• 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
• 4 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce
• 2 Tbsp BBQ Sauce (Tony Roma’s Hickory)
• 1 Tbsp Garlic (minced)
• 1 Tsp Ground Mustard
• 1 Tsp Ground Cumin
• 1 Tsp Onion Powder

Broil ribs in the oven for 30 minutes to get rid off the excess fat.

Drain the fat and layer the ribs on the bottom of slow cooker.

In a bowl mix beef broth, water, brown sugar, maple syrup, soy sauce, bbq sauce, garlic, ground mustard, cumin and onion powder.

Pour it over the ribs and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Until the ribs are nice and tender.

Remove the ribs from the slow cooker. Spread them again on the cooking sheet. Brush them generously with the sauce left in the slow cooker.

Broil them on high for 10 minutes or until crunchy, but not burned and dry.

Remove them from the oven and brush them with BBQ sauce of your choice.

Serve!
