Description

Use a Traeger grill to make these sweet, juicy, meaty smoked country-style pork ribs with ease. The method for this recipe is perfect for beginners. It has a longer cook time, but the result is well worth the wait! You can also use this recipe for bone-in rib varieties like spare ribs, short ribs, and St. Louis-style ribs.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless pork ribs or beef ribs
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Dry the ribs with a paper towel and trim off any membrane from the bone side of the ribs.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl to create the dry rub.
  3. Brush the ribs with yellow mustard and then coat them with the dry rub.
  4. Preheat the grill to 225°F and add your wood pellets.
  5. Smoke the ribs for 3 hours. Pull the ribs off the smoker, and create a foil packet using aluminum foil. Pour the bourbon into the packet, and seal tightly. Cook them for 2 more hours.
  6. Remove ribs from the foil and cook for another hour uncovered.
  7. Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
