BBQ Ribs with Green Chimichurri #GetFiredUpGrilling #GetUpandGrill #weavemade #ad

It’s summertime and time to get outside and light up the grill! How wonderful this time of year is, fabulous long nights, great outdoor weather, amazing and delicious food, and the only thing you need to make it better is to have some friends and family.

I love grilling and summer is perfect because we can make all kinds of delicious food without the hassle of heat inside the house. Today, I want to share this delicious Farmland® Pork Spareribs with a homemade rub and some green chimichurri, a perfect, different and refreshing sauce made with lots of garlic, parsley and cilantro.

This ribs are perfect to make for an easy delicious dinner and I’m sure your family is going to beg for more! You can find  Farmland® or Smithfield® ribs in your local Walmart, which I personally love because I don’t have to drive to far to get what I need to prepare a perfectly delicious dinner for my family.

Visit and enter the Get Fired Up Grilling website/sweepstakes for additional recipes and tips from BBQ Pitmasters Moe Cason and Tuffy Stone. Also enter to win a trip to the American Royal BBQ contest and other great grilling prizes!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package Farmland® Pork Spareribs
  • barbecue sauce of your preference for spreading on the ribs
    RUB:
  • 3 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 6 teaspoons brown sugar
    CHIMICHURRI:
  • 1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable acaite
  • 3 heads garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. And with this directions I want to share some very good tips for you.

#GetFiredUpGrilling #GetUpandGrill #weavemade #ad

Wash, with just water and dry very well the ribs, place in a baking sheet line with some paper towels just remove excess water.
Remove the membrane the is located in the back of the ribs, this is a very important stet.

#GetFiredUpGrilling #GetUpandGrill #weavemade #ad 2

Eliminate the paper towel and place the ribs in foil, and remember to use enough to later cover all the ribs. Now prepare the rub, and is so easy just mix the ingredients until well combine and is ready.

#GetFiredUpGrilling #GetUpandGrill #weavemade #ad 3

This next step is also very important, well all of them are important, find some helpers, as you can see my daughters help me with this one, and make the piggy ribs super relax, by massaging the rub nicely and well. This will make a very soft and juicy meat after cooking.

#GetFiredUpGrilling #GetUpandGrill #weavemade #ad 4

Ok, now is ready to go in the oven, let it cook completely cover for 1 and 1/2 hours, and then remove the top foil and finish for 1/2 hour, you can also use this rub and method to prepare the ribs in a smoker, and if you want to use the grill, just place the ribs with the foil for 1/2 after been in the oven for 1 and 1/2.
I know is a little confuse, but it works.

#GetFiredUpGrilling #GetUpandGrill #weavemade #ad 6
After cooking, you can smear some of the bbq sauce on the ribs for more flavor. And don’t forget to make the chimichurri ahead of time, the day before is better, and is very simple just by adding all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until completely incorporated, place in a container with a lid and place on the fridge.
