Grilled Pork Sauce
Description
This robust grilled pork sauce combines the sharp acidity of cider vinegar with the deep sweetness of molasses and the savory complexity of A-1 and Open Pit sauces. It is designed to coat tender, hickory-smoked country ribs, creating a sticky, flavorful glaze that balances heat and sweetness. The sauce reduces slightly during reheating, allowing it to cling to the meat for a rich, home-style barbecue experience. Perfect for summer grilling sessions or slow-cooked pork dishes, this recipe offers a customizable flavor profile that enhances the natural smokiness of the pork. It is an excellent accompaniment to cornbread and coleslaw, making it a crowd-pleasing centerpiece for casual gatherings and family dinners.Ingredients
Directions
-
Trim excess fat from the country ribs and cut them into even-sized portions to ensure uniform cooking.
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat and soak hickory chips in water for at least 30 minutes.
-
Place the soaked hickory chips on the hot coals or charcoal grate to generate smoke.
-
Arrange the ribs on the grill grate, positioning them a few inches above the heat source.
-
Grill the ribs for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, turning them frequently to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
-
Monitor the internal temperature; remove ribs when they reach a safe internal temperature (145&# 194;°F) and have a nice brown crust.
-
While the ribs cook, combine the Open Pit Sauce, A-1 Sauce, and molasses in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
-
Bring the sauce mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly until the molasses is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
-
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes, then toss them in the warm sauce to coat evenly.
-
Serve the sauced ribs immediately with any remaining sauce on the side.
