St. Louis Ribs Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribs

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub this mixture all over the ribs.

2. 2

   Cook the Ribs

   Place the ribs in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

3. 3

   Make the Barbecue Sauce

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine bourbon, brewed coffee, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Glaze the Ribs

   Once the ribs are tender, remove from the oven, discard the foil, and brush the barbecue sauce generously over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

5. 5

   Prepare the Potato Salad

   Boil the cubed potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool. In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Add the cooled potatoes and mix well.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the ribs and serve hot with a side of potato salad.
