Tonight I jumped into the Traeger’d-boneless-St. Louis-cut-rib-sandwich, à la McDonald’s legendary McRib arena (full disclosure...I’ve never actually had a McRib, but the concept (and their marketing photos) intrigued me).
Traeger’d up a rack of WinCo St. Louis cut ribs as I usually do, but scoring the skin over each bone on the underside and foil-wrapping for 2 hours instead of my normal 1 hour 15 minutes to get more tender.
@6 hours, pulled to rest, grilled Crostini bun, treated with Famous Dave’s Rich n Sassy, dill pickle slices, and chopped red onion.
Delicious adventure.
Neat new way to eat ribs, but...Next time (and there will be a next time...)
1) Start with a higher quality rack
2) Trim away all cartilage areas
3) Bump temps one notch at each level to get a bit more tender at finish
4) Maybe large chop Walla Walla Sweet onion instead of small chop red
5) Add photo of Top o’ the Ribs
