Barbecue Spare Ribs – P.F. Chang’s Barbecue Sauce

The Best Spare Ribs

This Barbecue Spare Ribs recipe is fall off the bone tender and absolutely delicious. The best part is, you can use any barbecue sauce you want and still get the same results. So if you’ve already got a favorite recipe you like to whip up or one that is already bottled, you can skip the barbecue sauce preparation altogether. Just a rack of ribs and a cup of sauce is all you’re going to need to bake these ribs to perfection.

How to make Barbecue Spare Ribs Tender

The secret, for Barbecue Spare ribs, lies in the slow and low method. This recipe takes a total of 3 hours from beginning to end but it is worth it. As you can see in my video recipe tutorial, the meat will just melt in your mouth. And as far as P.F. Chang’s recipe is concerned, the truth is, this recipe is better and I say that for two reasons. First, Chang’s doesn’t season their ribs; just a barbecue sauce marinade for 24 hours. Second, they cook their ribs in half the time I’m recommending and at a higher temperature, so the ribs aren’t as tender. That being said, I highly suggest that you use this slow and low method if you want the best results.

Barbecue Spare Ribs Ingredients:

1 rack Spare Ribs
1 cup Barbecue Sauce
1 tbsp Seafood Boil Seasoning (Zatarains, Slap Ya Mama or Old Bay), optional

Smothered Salmon

The Best Smothered Salmon

This Smothered Salmon recipe is something I came up with years ago. My wife has a serious love for this fish so I wanted to create something that was undeniably the best and believe it or not, this recipe can be prepped and cooked in just 15 minutes. It has a Garlic, Wine and Butter Broth that is just amazingly smooth. I actually use this to saute the Onions and Peppers as well as steam the fish. I like to prop the Salmon right over the top of the veggies so the filet can steam from below as well as from above when I top the pan with a lid. Then after just a few short minutes I smother the fish with Mozzarella Cheese, then cover back up with the lid long enough for it to melt. Once it has, you have a perfectly cooked Salmon that is ready to serve. Total cooking time is, approximately, 6 to 7 minutes. And once it hits the plate, I dash pieces of Bacon, I sprinkle freshly chopped Parsley and then I splash some Balsamic Vinegar right over the top.

Double Ground Beef Burger (DGB Burger)

A Great Burger

I love a Double Ground Beef Burger. Some people don’t and they’re very particular about how they want their meat. Some people think they know but really don’t. And because a hamburger is so commonly found on just about every street corner in America these days, everyone’s an expert. So If you know how you like your burger, by all means, have it your way. But, If you want to try something fun and different then try it this way, because this burger is Plump, juicy and full of flavor.

Burger Toppings are up to You

I didn’t add “Exact” amounts of anything in this Burger recipe. Hamburgers are pretty self explanatory and I’m sure you know what you like on it and what you don’t so use this as a basic guide only. I will mention that you should definitely salt and pepper both sides of your meat patties thoroughly and absolutely butter and toast your buns. But, that’s all I’m going to say as a must do. Toppings, from there on out, are going to have to be up to you and the way you think you like your hamburgers. Personally, I do recommend everything that is listed, down below the video.

If you’re interested in cooking some sides to go along with your DGB Burger, try my Onion Rings or Sweet Potato fries. I swear that they are, absolutely, the very best of recipes. The onion rings are crispy and tasty as ever and the Sweet Potato Fries have two dipping sauce recipes that are unmatched.
