Mayan Grilled Baby Back Ribs | Argentine Grill | Ballistic BBQ

Mayan Grilled Baby Back Ribs. I took two beautiful racks of baby back ribs and grilled them, low n slow on the Argentine Grill with some fantastic Mexican flavors. This video was sponsored by El Yucateco Hot Sauce www.shopelyucateco.com . I used El Yucateco in an amazing sauce (recipe below) with an agave and prickly pear cactus fruit base. Of course, the Sunterra Argentine Grill www.sunterra.pro did what it does, Rocked The Cook!

El Yucateco (pronounced EL YOU-CAH-TEK-OH) is a quality, flavorful brand with a very loyal following.
• El Yucateco is EVERYONE’s hot sauce - not just a Mexican Hot Sauce.
• El Yucateco is the #1 habanero sauce in the US
• El Yucateco ranks in the top 10 of all hot sauces in the US.
• Sauces are made from the whole fruit of the pepper, they are non-vinegar based and we do not use the capsaicin extract.
• We focus on talking about flavor, NOT heat. Bottom line: FLAVOR, FLAVOR, FLAVOR! We are the #KingofFlavor!
• Currently we have 5 habanero based sauces: Red, Green, Caribbean, Black Label Reserve and XXXtra Hot Kutbil-Ik. We also have a Jalapeño Hot Sauce and a Chipotle Hot Sauce.
• Ranked heat on the Scoville Scale, from highest to lowest: Triple ((x)) Hot, Black, Green, Caribbean, Red, Chipotle, Jalapeno
• The company founded in 1968 by Mr. Priamo J. Gamboa O. in Yucatan, Mexico.
SAUCE DESCRIPTIONS: • Jalapeño Hot Sauce o 1,270° on the Scoville scale - The classic Jalapeno sauce, done the right way! Only the freshest peppers are used for this sauce. It’s the mildest of our sauces, but packs a rich flavor and gentle heat. • Chipotle Hot Sauce o 3,400° on the Scoville scale - It’s made from a rich blend of naturally smoked chipotle peppers and sweeteners. Its deep flavor enriches hearty dishes, and adds smoky note and sweet heat to grilled meats. • Caribbean Chile Habanero Hot Sauce o 5,400° on the Scoville scale - This sauce is a perfect blend of yellow habanero peppers and fresh carrots, a source high in Vitamin A and Beta-Carotene. Its slightly sweet taste and mild heat deliver the traditional flavors of Caribbean Cuisine. • Red Chile Habanero Hot Sauce o 5,790° on the Scoville scale - El Yucateco’s Red Habanero Hot Sauce is created with our classic recipe, a blend of habanero peppers, red tomatoes, select spices and seasonings. • Green Chile Habanero Hot Sauce o 9,000° on the Scoville scale - The Green Habanero Hot Sauce is made with another of our classic recipes. The freshest green habanero peppers, garlic and fine spices blend into a fresh, flavorful sauce. • Black Label Reserve Chile Habanero Hot Sauce o 9,285° on the Scoville scale - A fifth flavor has been added to the El Yucateco habanero sauce line up. El Yucateco Black Label Reserve is a dark, smoky habanero sauce. It gets it’s color from the habaneros being fire-roasted. No artificial smoke is used in the creation of this sauce. • Kutbil-Ik Xtra Hot Chile Habanero Sauce o 11,600° on the Scoville scale - We rescued this recipe from the culinary traditions of the ancient Mayan civilization, hence the name “Kutbil-Ik” - a Mayan word meaning “crushed chili”.

Just bought a few bottles of El Yucateco. We saw it while watching Everyday BBQ. We really like it! Good stuff.

[@soulfultaste]

@ballisticBBQ- if you could only have one bbq grill, which one would it be? thanks

[@BabyBackManiac]

This El Yucateco challenge was so clearly right up your alley. Very creative, Greg. Everything came out beautiful!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you, Justin! This was a very fun cook for me brother!

[@FireWaterCooking]

we stayed at Tanque Verde Ranch in Tucson a few years ago and they had prickly pears growing all over the place.. they harvest them and sell the syrup.. they also make some great desserts and cocktails with it!

[@normrubio]

Yucateco is on every table in the Laredo area of South Texas because its one of the best bottled sauces out there. Awesome vid, you always have some REAL stuff on that only the locals know.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Awesome looking ribs Greg. And that homemade sauce was killer bro!!! How's about you send me a few of them ribs? Better yet, how's about I visit you and you can cook them again along with that fine looking cocktail? Cheers brother!!!!

[@David-burrito]

"Ballistic Sunrise". What a great video and cook, I love this kind of unorthodox style where you're not just popping the cap off of pre-packaged seasonings and sauces. Very creative.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you, David! I really enjoyed this cook.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Wow, those baby backs looked insane brother! What an amazing combo of flavors going on with the sauce you made! Nicely done!

[@D2Kprime]

Right! Now we need to see you do your version Russ!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Rusty!

[@BarbecueTricks]

ElYucateco is actually my favorite! Cool to see them in the KZbin world! Best flavor and heat!

[@ViceCityLiving]

That cocktail should be named El Caballero because it was created by a gentleman! Cheers sir, the cook looks amazing

[@ivse9696]

I would call it: The Ballistic Cocktail. These ribs are looking great. Again a wonderful video - like it 👍👍👍

[@BallisticBBQ]

Cheers!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Inspiring cook, Greg. Those look incredible!

[@CookingWithRy]

Love that use of the prickly pear. You're so right about that great flavor. Super ribs and sauce!

Wow, Greg! The ribs looked fantastic and the drink made me real thirsty at 10am lol. Nice use of the sauces.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Mike! I dug on the sauce you came up with too. Cheers!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Another great video recipe using the El Yucatecos sauce. I've been eating this sauce for years and love. Excellent cook Greg. Really loving that grill.

[@markshoup]

I made that margarita. Never used that fruit, but always curious. That’s a real winner. Thanks

[@RGMitchell4822]

Greg you are onto something with your craft cocktails..not everyone is into beer.. keep the ideas burning 🇯🇲👍

[@FRESHYUNGLU]

From a electric grinder to a molcajete. I love the way you prep , you never disappoint!!!!

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! Thank you, Luis!

[@coniff3]

I really appreciate this video! I don't doubt this was a really long process. You brought it all down to 22 minutes including a new cocktail. And it looks amazing. Great video.

[@DonPandemoniac]

Quite the masterclass in ribs, sauce and cocktail-making in one video. Very good show, a pleasure to watch!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Those ribs sure look good. The name of the cocktail I'd give is the Mexicali Sunset. Cheers, Greg!

[@thegrillinggluten-freeguy2177]

Sauce looks great. Awesome cocktail

[@axdambient]

I've grown up in LA all my life, they grow on the cactus here too and especially in the mountain areas. I've never used em for cooking I have to try it. Great video and recipes

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Nothing short of amazing! Great cook Greg, very much school is in session. I gotta try me some Ribs using the El Yucateco. Good stuff brother!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for checking it out Tommy!

[@guilhermanacas]

I once stepped on one of those prickly pears and I can tell you I was miserable for a few weeks. They're too small to get out and only time makes them go out of your body! Don't play around with those! We call them Indian Figs here in Portugal. Awesome video as always!

[@BEERNBBQBYLARRY]

That is a cool and tasty looking BBQ sauce. That COLOR! Amazing. That's an interesting cooker you got there too.

[@jgoree8319]

Excellent Cook Greg. Looks awesome

[@MrAllgrain]

Nice work Greg. Ribs looked amazing.

[@emmanuelbriones4999]

I have to say that this was such a great video. The ingredients and tools used were so authentic and coupled well with the style of ribs! Great job Greg!

[@hanieltrisna]

Fantastic recipes brother. Very impressive! Not the ole same o bbq stuff.

[@lightningboy1]

[@michaelnorton6828]

Awesome new recipe idea! They look delicious

[@antellez]

Greg, I enjoyed all aspects of the video, especially the details which helps us improve our experience overall. Much appreciated sir. My pick, Prickly-Guava Yucarita.

[@gsomoco2041]

Live fire cooking beats smoking any day of the week.

[@danh655]

1 part ketchup, 1 part red yucateco sauce, 1 part coarse black pepper for the best fry dip. Doghaus introduced me to the sauce. My fav is black label.

[@abevoelker4029]

Greg, the ribs looked great and the cocktail looked even better! Great new addition to future vids!

[@aaronchurchill7378]

Amazing! The ribs, the drink, outstanding!!

[@EverydayBBQ]

Bravo! Absolutely amazing recipe and creativity. You have insane culinary talent, brother! I am not just saying that because we’re buds. It’s as true as anything I’ve ever said. Always waiting to hear you’re got a tv deal lol. Peace, love and blessings from humid Northern IL. Cheers 🍻

[@SmokedMidwestBBQ]

Fantastic recipe! We have prickly pears all over here in AZ so I’m going to try the sauce recipe.

[@handcannon1388]

The ribs look delicious, Greg. Maybe your fourth book could be on open-air, live fire cooking. How is the burger book coming along? How about "Mexican Desert Dusk" for the cocktail? I googled it, and several of the pictures had a similar pinkish-purple hue to the sky at late sunset. Take care, and try to get out fishing when possible.

[@binko7616]

Ballistic Prickle! Nice job on the ribs too!

[@garytingler3222]

Great video, Ribs looked fantastic. Smoking some this afternoon.

[@hemilover9574]

Wow Greg you're awesome! Those ribs on that grill man o man...I can smell them from here. The sauce with the nopal fruit I will definitely have to try making it. The drink is like a Mayan surprise..aqua fresca...I said before and I'll say it again...you're a badass..

[@mattl9070]

The cocktail looked like a Mayan sacrificial offering to the gods...must have tasted OK? Awesome ribs bud, thanks for sharing.

[@GinisPoint]

The only thing that could make this better is, Cool Weather. Thanks for sharing, awesome video.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you for watching Mint!

[@scotthamilton9515]

Another great video as always Greg! Thanks for all the amazing content you have been putting out recently! Cheers from a big fan of yours all the way from Scotland!

[@chrivan473]

liking the mixology

[@gsmoneygsmoney1479]

Hello Greg , Awesome video once again. question for you . What are you using to fire up your Sunterra? I saw a video and you were using the looftlighter. Is this your goto? how does it light wood? Thanks Three more weeks until may pro arrives.

[@reg5381]

Takes the membrane off?,you have a great butcher.Thanks for the cactus pear lesson,saw them in a Italian market and couldn't figure what to do with them.

[@BushiBato]

just name the drink el Yucateco.BTW the ribs looked amazing and i know you could serve them to any Mexican or foodie anytime

[@Ralphie_Boy]

*Greg I have to give you super KUDOS brother those ribs looked fantastic I have to imagine the taste!* 😷👍🏻

[@michaelrobinson6988]

The drink: the BALLISTIC PRICK! Awesome recipe! Keep it up!

[@rebelangel8227]

i love that green habenero sauce on baked hotwings...its a good way to clear out the sinuses...lol

[@rueridge7597]

Nice meal. How does wind effect your grill?? In Texas can go from calm to 20+ in few minutes. Fire stay contained pretty well?

[@crunchmunch5282]

Is there a such a thing as good Tequila? Just kidding, I was never a big fan. These ribs looked awesome.................and the Modelo, I am drinking now.....the drink of yours looked tasty, especially with the hot sauce. Good video Greg.

[@AndresLopez_1315]

Those prickly pears are actually called Tunas in Mexico, and they are grown in the nopal, that is the green stuff, is different from a cactus, anyway great video bro. I love your grill.

[@joealderete2149]

nice love the wat the ribs came out! how about calling your drink the alpine cactus

[@troywillett]

Looks Amazing!

[@4seasonsbbq]

Wow Greg the ribs looked amazing and the cocktail had a fantastic lookin color to it. I'd order the drink by saying. "I'd like a Mrvich prickly pear please" have a great day sir.👍👍

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! Cheers BROTHER!

[@cunondrum]

Amazing recipe Greg!!! You nailed it once again. Brilliant flavors both on the ribs and the dynamite lime cocktail. One question, those fruits have seeds? We have something similar on my village on the island of Crete in 🇬🇷 but those are orange in color and are full of seeds.

[@elizabethmcheffey8699]

How bout we call that drink the Flyin Mayan!

[@HauseBBQ]

Looking good, I did spare ribs, working on the video now

[@mdomayer]

Those ribs look delicious!!!

[@michaelmcmillan1116]

Delicious ribs! Delicious cocktail! Reminds me of when I worked at a restaurant in Florida and we called it a Prickly-Pear Margarita. My suggestion for the name is "Ballistic Mayanrita".

[@BallisticBBQ]

I LIKE IT!

[@skwerlee]

Man Greg!!! All that looks delicious

[@terrygunzales9101]

Love the ribs Love the cocktail!

[@lt4fun1]

Prickly pears are called "Tunas" in Mexico. Great recipe!

[@Docstantinople]

That’s gotta be the best looking rib you’ve ever made Gregy. Looks amazing! 🤩

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Doc!

[@duncanjames914]

Another inspirational video! :-D

[@ernestorichardson9581]

Love all your videos! Greg could you possibly post the ingredients for the cocktail?

[@marcohelmet]

Looks stunning Greg!!! Hope all’s well 😊

[@homehearthwithjules8596]

Looks incredible fella😋👌...name that drink a Mayan Nectar😁💪or Mayan Sunrise✌️🤙🍹

[@Docstantinople]

Mmmm....Julie.

[@ScottGaltbbq]

Great video, drink name - The Cactus - loving ribs.

[@BourbonISvegan]

That’s some next level recipe innovation Greg 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@29madmangaud29]

Yes those fruits are sooo delicious,,,, but: you didn't remove the seeds, that are like "STONES",,, did blending it make it so it's then downable?

[@ElBarbaroPodcast]

That red fruit, here in México is known as tuna (like the fish). The same fruit in green color and sour flavor is knonwn as Xoconostle. Both of 'em comes from the nopales cactus plant. Theres another similar fruit that come from the vertical cactus. Its called pitahaya. Its sweet and colorful, and similar in flavor than the Dragon fruit.

[@stephanieyeminez89]

Hi how are you? Hope all is well. Great video. Where did you get your grinder. Thank you. How's the family.

[@josenmoreno3111]

How long is was the total cooking time for the ribs? I want to purchase an Argentine grill but I always wondering that is open fire and wondering if will take longer to cook thick meats
