Dutch Oven Baked/Grilled Ribs

You don’t have to have one of them fancy smokers to get that smoked flavor you want out of those ribs. Just grab that Dutch oven and lets get to simmering. Simmering these little fellers in chicken broth will keep them really tender. Then we’ll finish them on the grill for that little color and flavor until they fall off the bone.

Baked/Grilled Ribs

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 side Baby Back Ribs
  • Lime Juice
  • Meat tenderizer
  • Red River Ranch Original Seasoning or your blend

Instructions

  • Remove the membrane from the bone-side of the ribs.
  • Rub lime juice on both sides. Sprinkle meat tenderizer on the meat side of the ribs and rub in. Repeat with the Red River Ranch Original Seasoning or substitute. Cover and place in the icebox for about 4 hours.
  • Place the ribs in the Dutch oven bone side down- either standing up or on the sides (as described in video).
  • Pour about 1 ½ to 2-inches deep of chicken broth in the bottom of the oven. Cover.
  • Cook for about 2 to 2 ½ hours or until fork tender. Add more broth while cooking, if needed.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a hot grill. Grill on both sides to absorb some smoke flavor and until a dark golden brown color appears. Baste while grilling with the excess chicken broth.

Notes

1 side of ribs feeds about 3-4 people.
