Method

Prepare the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

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

  2. 2

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Make the BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the Grits

  1. 4

    Cook the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and grits, stir well, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy. Stir in butter before serving.

Make the Mustard Coleslaw

  1. 5

    Mix the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat.

Finish the Ribs

  1. 6

    Glaze the Ribs

    After the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven. Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes until caramelized.
