Dive into the flavors of summer with our Korean BBQ Style Smoked Country Ribs recipe! Discover how to master these boneless ribs on a pellet smoker, adding a unique Korean twist to your BBQ lineup. Perfect for any BBQ enthusiast looking to spice things up at their next cookout.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Country Style Pork Ribs
• Grill Mates Applewood Rub
• 8 oz Pineapple Juice
• 12 oz Korean BBQ Sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Wood Burning Smoker: Crank your smoker up to a steady 275°F (135°C) to prepare for the ribs.
2. Prep the Ribs: Remove your ribs from the packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the perfect smoke adherence.
3. Season Generously: Coat all sides of each rib thoroughly with your favorite rub or seasoning to infuse flavors that pop.
4. Smoke the Ribs: Place the ribs on the smoker and maintain the temperature at 275°F (135°C). This optimal temp will slowly infuse smoky goodness into the ribs.
5. Monitor Temperature: After 1.5 hours on the smoker, check that the internal temperature of the ribs is around 140°F (60°C), setting the stage for deeper cooking.
6. Prepare for Braising: Arrange a pan large enough to lay all the ribs with space between each piece. This ensures even cooking and flavor absorption.
7. Add Sauce and Juice: Pour pineapple juice into the pan and mix in half a bottle of Korean BBQ sauce. This combination will tenderize and add a tangy-sweet layer to the ribs.
8. Baste and Smoke Again: Lay the ribs in the sauce, ensuring space around each piece. Brush the remaining sauce onto the ribs for an extra flavor kick. Return the ribs to the smoker at 275°F (135°C).
9. Baste Every 30 Minutes: Continue to baste the ribs every 30 minutes with the pan sauce using a silicone brush. This keeps the ribs moist and flavorful.
10. Check for Doneness: When the ribs reach an internal temperature of around 195°F (90.5°C), start probing them for tenderness. If a probe slides through a rib like room-temperature butter, it’s ready.
11. Rest the Ribs: Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest in a cooler or an off oven for 30 minutes. This allows the juices to be redistributed, making the meat even more succulent.

Notes

Add a stick of butter to the basting pan for a extra layer of flavor and juiciness.
