A Real McRib

I have never had a McDonald's McRib® sandwich and chances are, I never will. Now, if it really was what it purports to be, well, that might be a different story! I just stumbled on a FoodWishes video where Chef John uses his oven and grill to turn a real rack of BB ribs, sauce, slaw and a bun into what HAS to be what the McRib will never be! Even shows how easy it is to remove the bones. Could easily be done using just an Egg, no oven required.

I haven't tried this, but it's definitely on my list now. I mean, just look at it! I don't know what condiments McD's offers (pickles and onions maybe?), but slaw would be fine with me! If anyone does this before I get around to it, please post your results. Enjoy!!

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I may try that... Or at least an all smoked version. Nice touch making his own bun.

    I can honestly as a kid McRibs were the Fri -Sat night on the way home late night choice of sandwiches.  I can also honestly say that over the last 30yrs I’ve never said “Damn I should replicate a McRib.  That still holds true.   

    If you try it I would suggest the IP then egg and you could be indulging way faster.
