Juicy boneless ribs coated in a tangy barbecue sauce blend with brown sugar and Worcestershire, perfect for summer cookouts or casual gatherings with bold flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle the ribs with Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning.
- Mix together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Place the seasoned ribs in a dish or container and let sit for 2 hours to marinate.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the ribs overnight instead of just 2 hours. If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a great substitute. You can also adjust the sweetness by using honey instead of brown sugar. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce mixture. This recipe is perfect for summer barbecues and pairs nicely with American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ribs hot off the grill with a side of coleslaw and cornbread for a classic barbecue feast. They also pair well with roasted vegetables or a refreshing Carrot Choppers Salad. For a sweet ending, consider serving with Perfect Peach Cake for dessert. Don't forget to have extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping!
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them for quicker reheating, but be cautious as it may dry them out. Always add a bit of barbecue sauce before reheating to keep them moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in ribs instead of boneless?
Yes, you can use bone-in ribs, but cooking times may vary. Bone-in ribs typically require a longer cooking time to become tender. Ensure you adjust your cooking method accordingly, whether grilling or baking, to achieve the desired tenderness.
What should I do if I don't have barbecue sauce?
If you don't have barbecue sauce, you can create a quick alternative by mixing ketchup with vinegar, brown sugar, and spices like garlic powder and smoked paprika. This mix can provide a similar flavor profile and still deliver delicious results in your ribs.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
To add more heat to your ribs, consider incorporating cayenne pepper or chili powder into the barbecue sauce mixture. You can also add diced jalapeños to the marinade or choose a spicy barbecue sauce for a bolder flavor. Adjust to your heat preference for the perfect kick!
