How do I cook rib tips?

Smokey · November 2006

Was at the store and saw some "Loin back rib tips" for 99 cents a pound and the was a nice 2.5 lbs pack right there! Needless to say I bought it! Now, my question is how do I cook 'em?[p]Smokey

I am new here but my butcher @ Publix here in Huntsville said he can't get Tri-Tips because Atlanta distributor keeps them for local stores.

Yo Smokey, Different parts of the country use different names for piggy parts. Hopefully those loin back rib tips you bought look like a series of back rib bones any where from one to three inches in length. BTW, if that is what you got and you paid 99¢ @ pound, you got a real good deal.[p]I cook these riblets all the time and they eat up pretty good. I use my piggy parts marinade recipe to soak them in and marinate them for eight hours, tops. The marinade is acidic so don't soak them too long. It is also high in sugar content so don't cook the riblets over 250ºF (grate temperature) as the ribs will carmelize long before they are done. [p]I cook indirect and don't use a finish sauce until after they come off the grill. Depending on size they can take from anywhere from one to two and one-half hours. I judge done-ness on these little rib slabs when I can easily pull a riblet apart. [p]As for the marinade, the recipe yields a little over one-half gallon. Use just enough to cover the riblets and freeze the remainder for another batch of piggy parts such as pork steaks, country style ribs or trimmings from spare ribs.[p]Here is Uncle Chuck Bob's Piggy Parts Marinade:[p]1 - 16 oz Bottle Sweet and Spicy French Dressing
2 Cups - Apple Juice
1 - 12 oz Can Cherry Cola
1 Cup - Lemon Juice
1 Cup - Woeber's Sweet and Spicy Mustard
1/4 Cup - Hot Sauce (Your Choice)
1/4 Cup - BBQ Rub (Your Choice)[p]I hope this helps. If you try the marinade recipe, please post your results.[p]Lager,[p]Juggy
