For the McRib Sandwich

Method

For the McRib Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the boneless spare ribs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Ensure the ribs are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs in the smoker and smoke for about 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 190°F (88°C) for optimal tenderness.

  3. 3

    Glaze with Barbecue Sauce

    In the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce and continue to cook until the sauce has caramelized.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the ribs are smoking, lightly toast the burger buns on a grill or in the oven until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the ribs are done, slice them into portions and place them on the toasted buns. Top with sliced pickles and onions.

For the God Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

  2. 7

    Season to Taste

    Mix well until smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the God Sauce on the side or drizzle it on top of the assembled McRib sandwiches.
