Get fired up for tailgating with these St. Louis-style ribs. This cut of ribs has more fat & bone, which makes them flavorful & inexpensive.
Ingredients
2 Rack St. Louis-style ribs
1/4 Cup Traeger Big Game Rub
1 Cup peach nectar
1 Cup Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce
Steps
1
Wash ribs and pat dry. Pull membrane off the back of ribs.2
When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 275°F, and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.3
Apply a thin coat of rub to the back of the ribs and all sides. Let rest 5 minutes. Turn ribs over, apply a heavy coat of rub to the top and let rest or “sweat” for 15 minutes.4
Place ribs bone side down directly on the grill grate and cook for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Check for doneness, the internal temperature should be 160°F and the meat should be pulling away from the bones.5
Remove ribs from the grill placing them meat side down on top of a piece of foil. Pour 1/2 cup peach nectar over ribs and wrap foil tightly around the ribs creating a packet.6
Put ribs back on the grill, bone side up and cook for another 30 to 45 minutes or until tender, but not fall-off-the-bone.7
Remove from the grill and sauce the front and back of the ribs. Place the ribs back on the Traeger for 15 minutes to set the sauce.8
Remove, let rest for 15 minutes, slice and serve. Enjoy!
