Pork Rib Tips Recipe

• • First, rinse the rib tips and dry them with paper towels. If there’s any membrane or extra skin on the tips, remove it.
  • Mix brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cajun seasoning, black pepper, smoked paprika, kosher salt, cumin, chili powder, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper in a plastic bag until well combined.

• On a large baking sheet lined with non-stick foil, arrange the rib tips, ensuring the foil extends beyond the ribs.
• Spray the ribs with oil, then rub the dry spice mixture thoroughly on each side.
• Cover the ribs with the foil, sealing it tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

To Grill

• Oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking.
• Once the grill is hot, place the ribs bone side down over indirect heat and grill covered for 1 ½ hours. Turn them and grill for another 1 ½ hours, still over indirect heat.
• Monitor the ribs occasionally to ensure they don’t stick or burn. After about 3 hours, the ribs should be very tender. If not, grill for up to an additional 30 minutes, aiming for an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Move the ribs to direct heat and brush with BBQ sauce on both sides, grilling uncovered for 5-10 minutes before removing.

To Bake Ribs

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Bake the ribs for 2 ½ hours, checking for tenderness. If needed, continue baking for another 30-45 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Drain excess fat, apply BBQ sauce to both sides of the ribs.
• Broil the ribs for 5 minutes bone side down after basting with BBQ sauce, then brush with sauce a second time and broil until lightly browned and bubbly.
• For extra stickiness, broil for a few more minutes.
• When ready to serve
• Let the rib tips cool for 5-7 minutes, chop them into smaller pieces, and serve.
