Smoked Spare Ribs on a Gas Grill

2 different Racks of Smoked Ribs, cut in half on a cutting board.

The Easiest Smoked Ribs

Anyone that thinks you can’t smoke spare ribs on a gas grill, with excellent results, is retarded. I mean that literally, with offense, because I get the most ridiculous insults in my comments about it. All you need is a controlled, indirect heat source, smoke and a great recipe. The slow and low process takes care of the rest and, with a little finesse, no one will ever be able to tell the difference. I’ll prove it!

2 Recipes for Spare Ribs Ingredients:

1st Recipe: Garam Masala Spare Ribs
2 tbsp Kosher Salt & Pepper, each side
2 tbsp Sriracha, each side
2 to 3 tbsp Garam Masala Seasoning or Ground Cumin, each side
1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar, for spritzing

Wrapping Ingredients:
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Butter

2nd Recipe: Blackened Seasoning Spare Ribs
2 tbsp Kosher Salt & Pepper, each side
2 tbsp Yellow Mustard, each side
2 to 3 tbsp Blackened Seasoning, each side
1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar, for spritzing

Wrapping Ingredients:
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Butter

This kind of goes with out saying but, you’re going to need a gas grill that has enough space to run indirect heat under the ribs, a bowl of water and some wood chips or pellets to produce smoke. I use this smoke tube but you can shape a box of aluminum foil with poked holes instead, full of burning chips or pellets, and it will work just fine. You’re also going to need some Aluminum foil for wrapping, as well.

Season and cook the ribs, on low indirect heat, for 4 hours at 235° Fahrenheit.
Then wrap the ribs in Aluminum Foil, with the wrapping ingredients, and cook for
an additional 1 1/2 hours. Follow the instructions in the video tutorial for more
details and best results.

Boneless Ribeye Roast

The Perfect Ribeye Roast

A Boneless Ribeye Roast is just the bulk of a Prime Rib with out ribs. So, what’s left? You got it, steak and it’s the easiest thing in the world to prepare. Olive Oil, Kosher Salt and Black Pepper is all you’re going to need to make a perfect roast but there’s a few other tricks up my sleeve you might consider before abandoning this article and just trying it out on your own, first.

Aged Ribeye Roast

If you’ve ever had an aged steak, you probably paid top dollar and it was worth every penny, right? Well, I can’t afford top dollar steaks but I want top dollar results. So, I picked up this little electric smoker to add some amazing flavor and texture to my roast. The results are tremendous. This tiny thing isn’t design to cook a roast this size but just a few hours of smoke makes a world of difference. The added flavor is unbelievable and it gives the outside of the Ribeye Roast a texture very similar to aged beef. Just look at the color difference, between the before and after pics, of the meat.

Ribeye Roast Sear

Most folks cook their Ribeye Roast twice at two different temperatures. A higher temp for a shorter period of time first, to get the color, and lower temp at length for the cooking of the entire roast. An alternative, however, is a quick pan sear. You only need a minute on each side and then you’re ready to roast in the oven, slow and low.

There are a few more ingredients that you might want to consider before putting it in the oven, though, especially around the holidays. Try adding some chopped garlic and some rosemary or thyme to the top of the roast and just spread it out evenly. Also, if you are cooking a Boneless Ribeye Roast, be sure use a roasting pan with a rack so the bottom doesn’t get soggy.

Boneless Ribeye Roast Time & Temp

I cook my Ribeye Roast at a lower temperature, in my video tutorial, than what is shown here in the chart. It’s only a 25 degree difference but I believe in the slow and low method to achieve tender results. I also use a thermometer instead of guessing the amount of time. This way, hitting my core temp, I can ensure a perfect roast every time. So, it’s something that you might want to consider but here’s a chart for you none the less.

Boneless Ribeye Roast Ingredients:

1 Boneless Ribeye Roast
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Kosher Salt and Pepper, spread evenly

Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until you reach your desired internal temperature. Follow the chart above for a perfect Ribeye Roast.
