preparation
➊ Simply prepare your ribs using the tried and tested method you love – we seasoned beautiful St. Louis cut spare ribs with “Korn to Rock” after removing the silver skin and smoked them with cherry wood at 130°C for 5 hours. We sprayed the ribs with apple juice every now and then. When the ribs were tender, we coated them with BBQ sauce and glazed them.
➋ Now comes the important step: To ensure that the chili cheese ribs are perfectly served, they should be cut into individual ribs. Then push the whole thing back together and carefully place it back on the grill using a large spatula, a long pastry spatula or a pizza peel, glaze again with BBQ sauce and allow the remaining sauce to thicken briefly in the pot.
➌ Spread the cheese over the ribs and place the jalapeño slices on top. Then let the cheese melt with the lid closed.
➍ To serve, carefully remove the ribs from the grill and place them on a serving plate with the reduced BBQ sauce. Tortilla chips go very well with this.
Marco Greulich: "Pretty much everyone has their favorite recipe and their favorite cooking method for spare ribs. This is more about serving, because we baked the spare ribs with chili and cheese. The absolute hit for the BBQ party!"
