Description

Any game-day or cookout crowd will roar for this tart and sweet homemade rib sauce for grilled pork loin back ribs. Tiger Sauce® is the hot and sweet secret ingredient.

Ingredients

US | Metric Yield: 1 Rack of ribs
1 cup ketchup 
1 Tiger Sauce®  (5 ounce bottle)
4 tablespoons light brown sugar  (firmly packed, divided)
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
2 tablespoons sorghum syrup 
2 tablespoons Kosher salt 
1/4 cup yellow mustard 
1 rack pork loin back ribs  (about 2-1/2 pounds, membrane removed)

Directions

Step 1

Mix ketchup, Tiger Sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and sorghum syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Reserve a portion of sauce for serving.

Step 2

Spray grill rack with nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-low heat (300°F).

Step 3

Combine salt and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Place ribs on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub mustard and then salt mixture on both sides of ribs.

Step 5

Wrap ribs carefully with foil and place on grill, meat side down, covered with grill lid, over indirect heat, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 170°F, about 2 hours.

Step 6

Unwrap ribs and grill over medium heat, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 200° to 205°F. Baste ribs with barbecue sauce every 30 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce.

Kitchen Tip:

  1. If rib membrane is too slippery, try gripping with a dry paper towel. Membrane should pull off in one piece, but if it breaks, use a sharp knife to create a new starting point and repeat until membrane is fully removed.
