Ingredients
- 2 racks Signature Select Baby Back Ribs sometimes labeled as Pork Loin Back Ribs
- 1 Fresh Cut Pineapple Bowl
- 2 bottles Signature Select Sesame Ginger Marinade
- ½ cup Signature Select Ketchup
- ¼ cup Signature Select Honey
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- ½ cup Signature Select light brown sugar
- 1 cup Signature Select chicken broth
- ½ stick Lucerne Sweet Cream butter
- 2 green onion
Instructions
- In a blender combine one bottle of the Signature Select Sesame Ginger marinade with ¼ cup of pineapple chunks and 4 tbsp of pineapple juice.
- Grate 1 tbsp of fresh ginger and add to the blender along with the ketchup and honey, then blend well.
- On a cutting board, unwrap the ribs and flip the rack of ribs face-down on the board (with the bones facing you). Using a butter knife, carefully slide the knife under the silver skin to loosen it. Then use a piece of paper towel to grasp the silver skin and pull it off the ribs. Repeat with the second rack of ribs.
- Then, using a kitchen or chef’s knife, cut between each rib to create individual pieces.
- Place the individually sliced ribs in the shallow pan and pour the prepared marinade over the ribs. Turn to coat.
- Cover the pan and place in the fridge for up to one hour.
- Preheat your grill or smoker to 225* and once the grill is hot, place the ribs on the grates of the grill and close the lid.
- Allow the ribs to smoke for about 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165*.
- Once the ribs hit 165*, place them in the aluminum pan and add ½ of the bottle of remaining sesame ginger marinade, the chicken broth, brown sugar and butter.
- Stir to combine and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and return to the grill and continue cooking at 250* until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 190* (about 2 hours).
- Remove the ribs from the pan and place them back on the grill grates. Brush with sauce from the pan and cook for another 30 minutes at 300* until the sauce sets and the ribs are shiny.
- Arrange huli huli party ribs on a platter and sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions. Serve skewers of pineapple alongside and enjoy.
