Rib Tips

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rib Tips

    Trim any excess fat off the pork rib tips and cut them into manageable pieces if necessary.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Season the Rib Tips

    Rub the dry mixture generously over the rib tips, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 300°F or 150°C).

  5. 5

    Grill the Rib Tips

    Place the rib tips on the grill and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have a smoky flavor.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Barbecue Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Heat over low until warmed through.

  7. 7

    Glaze the Rib Tips

    During the last 15 minutes of grilling, brush the barbecue sauce mixture over the rib tips, allowing it to caramelize.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the rib tips from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with extra barbecue sauce.
