Ribs and pork tenderloin

UNCHeels08

Had a great weekend of food, family, and basketball with some ribs on Saturday and pork tenderloin Friday. 

Ribs were baby backs rubbed woth Plowboys Yardbird some turbo style around 315, no foil. Two racks were regular Sweet Baby Rays for all the kids and the others were a hoisin garlic sauce with sesame seeds and green onions. That was a pretty awesome combo. And even better, my four year old now loves ribs. 




Used a raspberry chipotle sauce for the pork tenderloins in a quest to make one my wife likes (yeah I know, who doesn’t like pork tenderloin?). And this did the trick. Cooked direct at 400 and pulled at 145. Nothing too special here but they came out really well for everyone. Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone. I’m happy with how the ribs turned out since it was the first time not doing a 3-1-1 type technique. This was less work and I liked the bark better. These were around 300-315 for about two hours using the toothpick method.

Sauced around 1:40 and then five minutes before coming off. Probably a bit oversauced but my family likes a lot of sauce (and mild sauce at that smh). I tasted a bit of them pre sauce and the flavor was great, could really taste the meat and the rub. Might leave a half rack completely unsauced for me next time.  

I took the lazy way out with pre made sauces. Highly recommend the Soy Vay Hoisin Garlic as a change of pace, I just added a touch of sriracha and then chopped green onions and more sesame seeds at the end. Could have used some more heat in my mind, but a great sauce for folks that don’t like heat or for kids. 

The Fischer and Wieser raspberry chipotle sauce was awesome and my kids and nieces/nephews loved it. I followed the recipe on their bottle with an olive oil/garlic/rosemary marinade and just added Raging River before putting it on. Then blasted with the glaze throughout the cook. Can’t wait to try that on other stuff, I bet it’d be great on ribs too. Their bottle also says to pour it over a block of cream cheese with crackers for an easy appetizer. 

It’s fun to experiment with sauces but when we had 5 kids under 8 running around most of the weekend, it was nice to not have to worry about the sauce at all.

No recipe, just used store bought Soy Vay Hoisin Garlic sauce. Added probably just a tablespoon squirt of sriracha and then chopped green onions/sesame seeds as a garnish.
