Brandon’s recipe can be found CLICK HERE. And Jason’s piggy back on the baby back ribs was perfect – check out his tips CLICK HERE!
Our very own local celeb Chef Ava Marie has also shared her favorite recipe for us to try
– Summer is Here and the Grill is HOT!
“I made these tender coffee brown sugar lovin oven ribs which can be made in a Traeger smoker or @KamandoGrill” Chef Ava tells us.
“So, before roasting I baste the ribs with @koopsmustard dijon mustard (an former @worldfoodchampionships sponsor from 2018). And then I add my coffee spice rub on both sides before placing in a foil lined baking sheet and roast low n slow for 3 hours at 300*.
At halfway through cooking, cover with foil and place back to the oven. At the last 30 minutes baste with @SweetBabyRaysBBQSauce. You then return them to oven to cook through.
Then allow to rest 15 minutes before cutting into slabs. And enjoy how tender off the bone. Mmm it’s so good!”
