Pork ribs with barbecue sauce and cola

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 5 slices of pork ribs, cut from the loin (3.5 - 4.5 kg in total), remove the membranes
  • 1 bottle 0.6 l. cola
  • 2 tbsp. ketchup
  • 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp. sweet paprika
  • Vegetable oil to grease the grill

Preparation:

  1. Make BBQ sauce with Cola


    In a medium saucepan, bring the cola to a boil over high heat. Simmer until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, garlic, cayenne pepper, and 2 teaspoons paprika. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high and prepare the indirect heat zone: on a charcoal grill, rake all the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, and the remaining paprika. Rub the ribs with the seasoning mixture. Pour 1 cup of the cola barbecue sauce into a small bowl and brush it over the ribs.
  3. Wrap each rack of ribs individually in foil. Place them, overlapping if necessary, on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and roast, turning after 30 minutes, until tender and falling off the bone, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the ribs from the grill and carefully unwrap them; drain any juices into the saucepan with the remaining barbecue sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened, 5-7 minutes.
  5. Increase the grill temperature to medium-high. Brush the ribs with a little of the sauce from the pan and grill over direct heat, turning every 5 minutes, until crisp and glossy, about 20 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a large cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with the remaining barbecue sauce.

    Note

    If you're grilling ribs on a charcoal grill, you'll need 3-4 pounds of charcoal. Add a few fresh briquettes every 30 minutes to maintain the heat.
