Pork Spare Ribs

Choice of Two Meats

Side Dish

Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Prep the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the pork spare ribs for better flavor absorption.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the mixture all over the ribs. Drizzle olive oil over the ribs to help the rub stick.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with BBQ sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Preparing the Choice of Two Meats

  1. 5

    Cook the Smoked Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked sausage links until browned and heated through, about 8-10 minutes. Slice them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 6

    Reheat Pulled Pork

    If using pre-cooked pulled pork, reheat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 7

    Prepare Chicken Thighs

    Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a skillet, cook over medium heat until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), about 6-8 minutes per side.

  4. 8

    Prepare Brisket

    If using pre-cooked brisket, slice and reheat it in the oven or skillet until warmed through.

Preparing the Side Dish

  1. 9

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix with your choice of dressing. Toss well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
