Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pork ribs — For the best results, choose meaty racks of pork ribs with a good amount of fat marbling. This will ensure that the ribs remain juicy and tender during the cooking process.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, add a handful of soaked wood chips to the grill while cooking the ribs.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the spice rub.
- Letting the ribs rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender meat.
Serving advice
Serve the Australian BBQ ribs hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Pair them with a side of coleslaw and some crusty bread to complete the meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the ribs on a platter, drizzle some extra barbecue glaze on top, and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a vibrant and appetizing presentation.
