The meat expert advised how to fry the ribs: you will even lick your fingers

Although it seems quite complicated to prepare this dish, there are still some rules when it comes to preparing ribs with a special flavor.

Pork is still one of the most popular products

“Lithuania’s barbecue season has gained momentum and people are spending more and more time cooking on the grill. When they are tired of traditional shashliks or sausages, residents try to experiment, search for more diverse flavors and recipes.

We notice that lately they are constantly changing: Lithuanians bake not only our usual meat products, but also fish, shellfish, cheese or other favorite dishes on the coals. It is true that a wide variety of dishes made with meat, and especially pork, are still the most popular, but unfortunately they are not always prepared correctly, ”says G. Bačkovas.

First of all, the correct choice of meat. When choosing pork ribs, as with any type of meat, attention should be paid to the smell and appearance: the meat should be shiny, not dry, look juicy – meat cooked on the grill should not be very lean; the grill will melt and drain off the fat, which will help the meat stay soft and juicy.

Second, properly prepare the grill on which the ribs will be baked. A greased barbecue or grilling can damage even the best-prepared ribs, so before cooking this dish, you should scrub kitchen utensils and lubricate the grill with oil.

Suitable spices and cooking time.

Another important thing, according to a meat expert, is the proper selection of spices and their friction with the meat. If you use dry spices, they should coat the ribs evenly and rub hard into the meat to form a crust. And in order for the flavor to be as intense as possible, the spices should be rubbed on the meat 30 minutes before cooking, during this time they will be able to soak perfectly.

“When preparing the spice mix, you can freely improvise: sweet pepper powder, ground hot peppers, garlic powder, dry mustard, various dried herbs are especially suitable for ribs. And of course salt and black pepper, ”says G. Bačkovas.

If you are frying the ribs on a barbecue, according to the expert, the best you can do is on a medium grill heated to about 160-180 degrees.

“The ribs will bake better if you don’t keep them over direct heat, and you can bake them wrapped in foil at the beginning of cooking and leave them to bake after removal. While the ribs are grilling, you can grease them with a barbecue or other favorite sauce, in this way they will caramelize on the outside and acquire an exceptional flavor. Medium ribs should be perfectly roasted in 45 minutes or 1 hour “, says G. Bačkovas.

When placing the ribs on the grill, the meat connoisseur advises not to overdo it; Often times the resulting grill releases some heat, which leads to temperature differences. Ribs cooked to a uniform temperature will bake better and acquire a better flavor and texture. And once the meat is cooked, it’s worth letting it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving, making it even richer and juicier.

G.Bačkov offers a recipe for ribs that will not leave anyone indifferent, that will be liked by all meat lovers.
