Precooking Ribs Before Grilling

Precooking Ribs Before Grilling

June 18, 2019

To make delicious grilled baby back or spare ribs bake them a day or two in advance. Precooking ribs tenderizes the meat and shortens cooking time. Leave them in the refrigerator for a day or two after precooking them and the flavor develops even further.

Remove ribs from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking and let sit at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Season ribs on both sides with kosher salt or a favorite spice rub.

Wrap each rack in 2 layers of foil.

Place ribs in roasting pan. Place in oven and bake 2 hours for baby back ribs or 3 hours for spare ribs (until tender).

Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 3 days.

Finish ribs by cooking them 7 to 10 minutes on grill heated to medium. Baste ribs frequently with your favorite sauce.
