How to
- Start by preparing your pork loin ribs, ensuring they have a good amount of intramuscular fat for flavor. Open up the loin with a knife to expose more surface area and season both sides generously with PitmasterX pork seasoning.
- Preheat your grill. Place the ribs on the grill to sear for about 3 minutes on each side, achieving nice grill marks.
- Next, lower the grill temperature and close the lid to let the ribs cook through gradually, avoiding overcooking.
- After about 8 minutes, remove the ribs and roll them back into their original loin shape, securing with butcher's twine. Let the meat rest while you heat a cast iron pan with the beef fat until it reaches 160°C or 320°F.
- While the beef fat warms, prepare the honey chili glaze by mixing chili oil, honey, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and apple juice. Warm this mixture slightly on the grill to integrate the flavors. Once the beef fat is hot, immerse the individual rib sections into the fat, allowing them to crisp up on the outside while remaining juicy inside. Place them back on the grill's highest rack to keep warm.
- For the final touch, drizzle the prepared honey chili oil over the ribs, ensuring each piece is coated for maximum flavor.
- Serve immediately, slicing into individual ribs if desired, and enjoy the melding of rich, smoky, and spicy flavors in your perfectly cooked pork ribs.
