Ultimate Barbecue Rib Tips Recipe
These Barbecue Rib Tips are bursting with flavor, combining savory spices and a sweet, tangy barbecue sauce that creates an irresistible glaze. Each bite offers a delightful balance of tenderness and smoky goodness, making them a must-try for any barbecue lover.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork rib tips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite variety)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional for tang)
Instructions
- Prep the Rib Tips: Rinse the rib tips under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if necessary.
- Make the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until it forms a paste.
- Season the Ribs: Rub the spice mixture all over the rib tips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for a few hours for deeper flavor.
- Slow Cook: Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the rib tips on the grill grates and cook for about 2-3 hours, maintaining a low temperature. Baste with barbecue sauce every 30 minutes.
- Finish with Sauce: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce on the rib tips to create a sticky glaze. Optionally, add a splash of apple cider vinegar for an extra kick.
- Serve: Once the rib tips are tender and caramelized, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
