What are Baby Back Ribs?
Baby back ribs are pork ribs. These are located close to the rear or loin region of a pig. The ribs are cut from close to the pig’s belly and have smaller, arched bones than St. Louis-style ribs.
Ingredients for Baby Back Ribs on Ninja Woodfire Grill
You’ll need only four ingredients to make baby back ribs. Here are the details:
Baby Back Ribs: These are pork ribs with arched bones and are smaller in size.
Yellow Mustard: The yellow mustard acts as a binder so that the rub sticks to the ribs.
Barbeque Rub: You can use your favorite barbeque rub.
Barbeque Sauce: Serve the ribs with or without sauce as you like. If you like to add a sauce, use any of your favorite barbeque sauce in the end.
Ingredient Substitution
If you don’t like yellow mustard, use vegetable oil or hot sauce as a binder.
Recipe Instructions
Wash the ribs thoroughly and pat dry them. If you see membrane layers on the rib bones, remove them.
Apply yellow mustard to both sides of the baby back ribs.
Sprinkle your favorite barbeque rub over the ribs and let it rest for 10 minutes. You can also keep the ribs overnight so that the rub flavor fully penetrates the meat.
Meanwhile, set up your Ninja Woodfire Grill.
Add a cup full of wood pellets to the smoke box and turn on the power.
Set the temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and time to 2 hours.
Now, cut the rib piece in half as it is too large to fit into the Ninja Woodfire Grill.
Place the ribs halves into the grill and smoke for 90 minutes.
Brush the ribs with the sauce and again smoke them for 10-15 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the ribs. When it reaches 205 degrees Fahrenheit, turn off the grill and remove the baby back ribs.
Slice the ribs and serve with more hot or barbeque sauce.
Recipe Tips
You can apply different sauces to the pieces of ribs so that you can enjoy more flavors at one time.
How to Serve Baby Back Ribs?
Slice the ribs and serve them with fresh salad, classic potato salad, or baked beans.
