Trimming the Spare Ribs
When it comes to making BBQ rib tips, the first step is to trim the spare ribs. This allows us to create rib tips along the breast line. To do this, stay on the line of the spare rib and cut straight. Although the line may go off a little bit, that’s perfectly fine. Once you have trimmed the spare ribs, you can cube them up into squares, creating nice rib tips. Trimming the spare ribs is essential to achieving the best results for your BBQ rib tips.
Preparing the Spare Ribs
To season the rib tips, we first need to prepare them. This involves applying yellow mustard to the rib tips. Drizzle the mustard on the rib tips and then mix them up to ensure they are evenly coated. The yellow mustard not only adds flavor but also helps the rubs adhere to the meat. Once the rib tips are coated with mustard, it’s time to move on to the next step.
Cutting the Spare Ribs into Rib Tips
After trimming the spare ribs and preparing them, it’s time to cut them into rib tips. The spare ribs should be cut into manageable pieces that are easy to handle on the grill. This step is crucial in creating well-cooked and flavorful rib tips. By cutting the spare ribs into rib tips, you ensure that they cook evenly and are easy to eat. Now that the rib tips are ready, it’s time to move on to seasoning.
Seasoning the Rib Tips
Seasoning is an essential step in creating delicious BBQ rib tips. To achieve the best flavor, we will apply multiple layers of rub to the rib tips. The first rub we will use is Blues Hog Dry Rub Seasoning. Generously sprinkle the seasoning onto the rib tips, ensuring an even coat. Blues Hog Dry Rub Seasoning adds a savory and slightly sweet flavor to the meat. After applying the first rub, it’s time to add another layer of flavor.
The second rub we will use is Gluten Booties Everything Rub. Once again, apply a generous amount of the rub onto the rib tips, making sure to evenly coat the meat. Gluten Booties Everything Rub adds a unique blend of spices and enhances the overall flavor profile of the rib tips. After applying this second layer of rub, don’t forget to mix the rib tips to evenly distribute the seasoning. Finally, add one more layer of rub for maximum flavor.
Applying a Final Layer of Rub
To ensure that the rib tips are bursting with flavor, it’s essential to add a final layer of rub. This final layer will help to intensify the taste and create a delicious crust on the outside of the meat. Sprinkle a generous amount of the final rub onto the rib tips, making sure to cover all sides. Once the final layer of rub is applied, give the rib tips one more good mix to ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Smoking the Rib Tips
Now that the rib tips are seasoned to perfection, it’s time to smoke them. Proper preparation and cooking techniques are crucial for achieving tender and flavorful BBQ rib tips.
Preparation for Smoking
Before placing the rib tips on the smoker, it’s important to prepare the grill properly. Make sure the smoker is clean and preheated to the desired temperature. This will ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Additionally, soaking wood chips in water for about 30 minutes prior to smoking will help create a smoky flavor.
Cooking the Rib Tips
Once the smoker is preheated and the wood chips are soaked, it’s time to cook the rib tips. Place the rib tips on the warming rack of the smoker and let them cook for about three to three and a half hours. Cooking times may vary, so it’s essential to monitor the rib tips throughout the process.
Monitoring with Apple Juice
To add extra flavor and moisture to the rib tips, it’s recommended to periodically baste them with apple juice. Every 30 to 45 minutes, open the smoker and baste the rib tips with apple juice using a brush or spray bottle. This will help enhance the tenderness of the meat and add a subtle sweetness to the overall flavor.
Conclusion
After following these steps, your BBQ rib tips should turn out absolutely delicious. Trimming the spare ribs, preparing the rib tips, and seasoning them with multiple rubs will create a flavorful and tantalizing dish. Smoking the rib tips to perfection and periodically basting them with apple juice will ensure they are tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or a BBQ enthusiast, these BBQ rib tips are sure to impress your friends and family. So fire up your grill, grab some spare ribs, and get ready to enjoy the mouthwatering taste of these delectable rib tips. Happy cooking!
