Rib recipe worth stealing :)

A restaurant owner screwed me over on some work I did for him (he screwed many folks...including his cooks). So, I made it my mission to get his recipe for smoked ribs that he was very protective of. This recipe is a true prize winner! People came from miles around, just to eat his ribs. 2 of his cooks cooperated and both of them verified this recipe exactly as stated. You are going to impress anyone that you serve these ribs too...trust me Smiler We'll call this "Grant's Stolen Recipe", LOL.

For best results, prepare the ribs a couple of hours before smoking or the night prior.

You will need the following items:

LeGout Ham Base - This is a very heavy base that is like a thick paste.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Red Wine Vinegar
Dark Brown Sugar
Mels Seasoning They are in Kaukauna WI and can be Googled. I found that any mild spice mixture will work. Just made the last batch using a good dose of Obie-Que's Sweet Rub Spice in place of the Mels and they turned out wonderful.
Rubber Gloves are good to have making these, BTW.

Mix 50/50 RWV and EVOO. Add the Mels seasoning (or whatever) and enough dark brown sugar to make the mixture into a very heavy sauce or almost a paste.

Next, skin the ribs, wash and towel dry.

Next, rub the LeGout ham base into the ribs fairly rigorously. Takes a couple of minutes per rack.

Next, grab a handful of your mixture and rub this all over and well into the racks. You want a good coating, but you should still be able to see the meat.

I like either pecan or hickory with a couple of Kingsford briquettes in my Smokintex/Cookshack smoker. You can smoke by whatever method floats your boat.

Please put your review on here after you try them Smiler
