Barbecue Rib Tips

6/7/15

Tender BBQ Rib Tips with a crispy crust and tender, juicy meat

Juicy Barbecue Pork Rip Tips, made on my charcoal grill!

Recently my “younger” brother & his family came to visit. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that every my baby bro ( he’s almost 26, but I still call him my baby ) comes to town, I have to cook for him. Well the first night that he was here I made him his favorite meal: Mac n Cheese, fried chicken, and peas… The second day, I fired up the grill and made some of the most juiciest barbecue rib tips EVER!

These pork ribs are grilled to perfection

I made pork rib tips, although you can can use beef. I started off with my homemade barbecue rub, and I generously seasoned the meat.

Perfectly grilled smoked pork ribs are the key to this BBQ rib tips recipe

Once the meat was seasoned I made a simple “barbecue mop”, and I grilled the ribs using indirect heat

No BBQ sauce needed for these perfectly grilled and seasoned BBQ pork ribs

It took me about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to make these ribs. Although these ribs took a lot of time, they were super easy to make. If you a “unseasoned” griller ,you should definitely start off with this recipe.

Keep in mind that you can use this recipe for chicken as well.

    I’m not gonna lie these rib pictures made my mouth water up reading this article. I’ve been trying some new stuff out with the grill and recently learned how to properly smoke pretty much anything. Changed my life. Thank you for the new recipe!
