We're taking these boneless strips and giving them the charcoal treatment. The Santa Maria blend brings that grapefruit and rosemary punch that cuts right through the pork fat. It's simple, it's smoky, and it's exactly what you want when the grill is hot and the beers are cold.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs boneless pork spareribs, cut into 6-inch strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Get your charcoal going and aim for a two-zone setup, meaning you pile the hot coals on one side and leave the other side empty.
  2. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and rub them down with olive oil so the seasoning has something to grab onto.
  3. Coat the meat generously on all sides with the Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend, letting it hang out for about 20 minutes while the grill stabilizes.
  4. Whisk the vinegar and water together in a small bowl to use as a simple mop during the cooking process.
  5. Place the ribs directly over the hot coals and sear them for 3 to 4 minutes per side until you see a solid, dark crust forming.
  6. Slide the meat over to the cool side of the grill and close the lid, keeping the vents halfway open to manage the smoke flow.
  7. Continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, mopping the ribs once or twice with the vinegar mixture to keep the exterior from drying out too fast.
  8. Pull the ribs off the heat once they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees and let them rest for 5 minutes to let the juices settle. DUNZO!

Tony’s Fine Print

They tell me every recipe needs a little fine print, so here’s mine. I do my best to keep things straight, no surprises and no sneaky allergens. The info you see here is put together with care, capisce? But kitchens are wild places and ingredients do not always behave. Always double-check the labels on what you buy, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If something does not look right, trust your gut (and your doctor) before you trust me. Bottom line: I am here to guide, not to diagnose. You cook, you taste, you take responsibility.

Deal? Good. Now let’s eat.
