Chef notes

White barbecue sauce sets these ribs apart from the pack. The tangy vinegar, creamy sour cream and hot horseradish perfectly complement the flavor of the rich, meaty ribs.

Technique tip: Wrapping the ribs with plastic wrap and foil helps seal in the juices.

Ingredients

White barbecue sauce
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup spicy mustard
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Ribs
  • cups apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Montreal seasoning
  • 2 racks St. Louis style ribs, cleaned, rinsed and dried

Preheat a grill, or large grill pan, to medium-high heat.

5.

Remove the foil and plastic wrap and place the ribs on the preheated grill, meat side down, for 3-4 minutes.
