Texas Style Spare Ribs

[@mattbundy]

Killin’ it, brother! Love the content. It’s nice to see something a little different from the same ole stuff everybody else does. Keep up the great work.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I sincerely appreciate that. We’re always learning and sharing.

[@mikekeck4601]

Matt I think you're a f****** genius thanks for your videos you have made me up my game keep them coming you rock

[@rockhaller]

I’ve made ribs a few times like this and this is the only way to cook them

[@cjmesq]

You can buy a decent BBQ sauce for 3 or 4 bucks, then make it better by adding apple cider vinegar and some hot sauce.

[@jayworley6397]

I take all of those trimmed off pieces, cut them into cubes, and smoke them on skewers along with the ribs. They're usually done about an hour or so before the ribs are ready, so you get a nice little appetizer. My kids call them "Rib Burnt Ends".

[@Swit70]

My husband does too, they are very tender, we call them rib bites 😅

[@jameswhiteside6716]

@@Swit70 Was wondering what to do with those. Lot of meat left on what Matt cut off. thanks for the suggestion.

[@mikecasaceli7640]

You can also use them in spaghetti sauce

[@markreiter8778]

I quit watching other bbq videos because Matt’s information is always spot on.

[@darylh100]

I decided to do pork spare ribs for Christmas this year in the Houston area. Followed your cooking process. I can't get Goldies BBQ sauce locally so i tried original salt lick BBQ sauce on the foil while wrapping at the end. The sauce contains no tomato product. The result was awesome.

[@francinecorry633]

Really glad you took the time to demonstrate trimming.I never knew about "rounding off" any sharp edges.Thank you sir for the informative video,keep up the good work.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

My pleasure!!

[@timsivers7768]

Holy cow! You never disappoint Matt!! You were the first person I followed to learn Texas barbeque . Thank you for the best color in barbeque and the best videos in barbeque!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Tim!!

[@arturoesquivel6625]

Made these today. This is my favorite way to make ribs! You hit it right on the nose at the end. I’ll eat a few sweet baby backs with the rest of my BBQ. However, when ribs are the star of the show, spare ribs are where it’s at.

[@Simplycomfortfood]

Hello Matt. Did three racks of spare ribs, no wrap. 275° Camp Chef Pellet Grill with Lumberjack Pecan and CharHickory pellet blend(my blend). Seasoned them with Holy Gospel all-purpose base coat and a top coat of Honey Hog. Pinned them at 201°. Family announced, best ribs I have ever smoked. So Good. Grocery store in our area was running racks at 2.99 per pound. About 13.00 to 16.00 dollars per rack. Sides, the wife's potato salad, and amazing baked beans. Wish you could have joined us.

[@raymondchapman4160]

I made the best ribs this weekend for Mother’s Day. Thank you for all your videos. Helping become a better cook. Family love it.

[@randybrester8037]

He Matt did this Texas method cooked no wrap, straight thru, three racks at 260 for 4 1/2 hours Did use St Louis cut ribs At 4 hours brushed on melted butter with Sonys sweet sauce blended blended together and went another 30 minutes Absolutes so simple and the best rib I have ever made The bite was firm but soo tender Thanks Matt

[@Bullkthx]

I seasoned the trimmings with the Gospel and put them in the air fryer at 375 for 20 minutes and it was great!

[@claylatour1899]

Dang it....I knew I shouldnt have watched this before eating breakfast. I know what I will be doing this weekend. Thanks Matt for the great videos...I always appreciate the educational cook stuff

[@akbrooks70]

I love cooking these ribs. If you throw some brown sugar on it they turn out just like Papa’s BBQ’s ribs. The sweetness is subtle so you really get the best of both worlds with the firm bite and a really well rounded flavor profile. I hate sweet goopy ribs so these are some of my favorite.

[@RhythmAndRibs]

It's 4pm here in South Africa but I just got super hungry watching this😂

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

LOVE it!

[@AVENTUS7777]

You’re lucky to be in South Africa .

[@MathewWineTV]

Sounds like a normal time to be hungry

[@CoolJay77]

Those ribs are feasting my eyes. Great recipe. You are right, we can eat more ribs when not too sweet.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Yesssss!

[@ronknight779]

Love this method of smoking for my spare ribs. Thanks.

[@hulkhuggett]

Man, over the years this has become probably my favorite BBQ channel when I'm looking for a recipe or a refresher course. That outdoor kitchen is gorgeous, too! Are those concrete countertops in the background? I've screenshotted a couple pics when the camera is at different angles. The pool is awesome looking, as well. I've definitely borrowed a couple ideas for some builds. A video walk around of that outdoor space and the Meat Church store would be a very fun video to watch, in my opinion.

[@jeffreytaylor6257]

I have begun to live my life "pepper forward". Thank you for that. JT

[@davidgoldenmortgagepro]

Texas ribs in Utah is what’s going down this weekend on the Traeger. Great video! Keep up the good work.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Hope you enjoy them!

[@allenbateman3518]

Traeger is trash!

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Love Texas stye spares. And you get plenty of sweet from the sauce at the end. Thanks for doing this video.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Perfectly said!

[@bradgibbons1062]

Had some salt and pepper spare ribs this weekend and they were incredible! Thanks for the video! I would love a video of you giving a kitchen and smoker/grill tour, talking about the pros on cons of each, and maybe some stories along the way.

[@carlpoposki5985]

This would be AWESOME.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

We have too soon!

[@MrRice99]

100% on board with this. Looking to build my outdoor kitchen soon and would love to see ideas and even things you might change, knowing what you know now.

[@artustbbq1195]

Damn Matt is a good looking man 😁

[@OKNateM]

These are really good, possibly my family’s favorite. Got another batch in the smoker today. Thanks for sharing this one!

[@petecorey1122]

Man this was great. Not a fan of sweet bbq so this was up my alley. Used a pellet grill and came out great. Perfect. Thanks Matt!

[@hughhall3210]

Planning on a rib cook. Picked up a bottle of gospel at my local Lowe's store. Excited brother ...

[@BaynhamsGarage]

Just used this method and we’re the best ribs I’ve made. I don’t have a warmer so I just lowered my Traeger to 180/smoke and let them rest for 30 min after wrapping. Total cook was 4hrs on a single slab. I used Stubbs sauce instead of Goldie’s. Might do more tomorrow for the kids when they come over for the holiday.

[@BillyG563]

I've tried many ribs recipes from Meat Church and this is my favorite one. 16 mesh black pepper base followed by Holy Cow. Don't get me wrong, I can get down with a sweet rib with the best of em but this is my go-to savory rib for sho.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love it!

[@cybernode33]

As an avid griller, I used to be a Qstoves user, but once I switched to Asmoke, there was no looking back. The convenience of the digital controller for precise temperature control is a game-changer. Plus, the added convenience of the Asmoke Essential being battery powered, with up to 10 hours of runtime, has changed the way I grill during outings. Now, I can take it for tailgating and camping trips without worrying about a power source. But what I love the most is the flavor that the wood pellets give to my food. From hickory to applewood, each grilling session is a new experience. And the fact that I can monitor the temperature remotely through an app, just sweetens the deal. I've never had more perfectly smoked ribs in my life. #Asmoke

[@2ndshiftaudio300]

i watch rib videos all the time. And I mean all the time. Everyone else over seasons pork ribs. To the point that you are not eating ribs. But mainly seasoning. These look like meat. Not just seasoning. I'm gonna make em. Thanks man.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I appreciate that!

[@Spankys_racing]

Anytime there’s Meat Church and Goldees products in one video I’m there!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love it!

Hard to beat just salt and pepper on ribs, brisket, pork butt, etc. Love the content!

Finally! I got a no-wrap method thats works!

Just got my shipment for The Ocho. Gonna make some pork belly burnt ends and Shredded Chuck Roast sandwiches this weekend . So pumped to try em out

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

KILLER!!!!

[@joshmurphy4754]

Matt I made these this weekend and they were wonderful. Only thing I done different was used babybacks and adjusted my times for that. I’ve been on a keto diet and haven’t been eating ribs because of the sugar but these were A ok. Also made the Mexican pulled pork since it’s no sugar and it was phenomenal as well. Thanks for something that was different that usual but tasty. You helping me lose weight and enjoy my food.

[@jhmschonewille2667]

Love it. Actually was gettin' sick of sweet bbq as well so started using lone star steak rub and sauce on anything and everything a couple of weeks ago. The flavour, the meat.. Just love it. Keep it up man.

[@Docavelli]

Matt, that last bone on the big end had me tweaking thinking you were leaving it on. It was such a relief when you trimmed it off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@garybelbeck6946]

I'm impressed you never mentionee thr word "Fall of the bone". Prefect cook with one bite to the bone. Great video and shout to my boy Jamie @Jambo.

[@mel_2506]

Yep!

[@peterstergios]

I just stumbled on your content recently, and I’m loving it! One thing that would be helpful is a tutorial for what to do if you don’t have an actual smoker…I know it’s not the same, but figuring out how to use my oven is about all I have the ability to do right now and I’m craving some brisket!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks for being here! An oven works the same as a smoker. Obviously without the smoke… But the technique is generally the same same.

[@peterstergios]

@@MeatChurchBBQ gotcha, that’s good to know. I did try it with some ribs today with some apple wood chips in a pan underneath, and it turned out pretty decent, but I’m not sure I got the temp/cook times dialed in since the heating element is closer to the meat. That’s why I was hoping for some “beginner” videos for newbies like me lol! Anyway, thanks again!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

@@peterstergios definitely watch for hotspots. You may just have to rotate the meat around depending where your oven runs hot.

[@rickfranks9299]

Great job Matt! I’ve made several of your recipes and they’ve been a big hit with friends and family! I appreciate you brother

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Agree!! Taste is better IMO.

I’m from Australia and have no bias to where I am from (when it comes to bbq styles) But have to say Texas style ribs are the best. I roasted some of them up tonight 🍖

This is great! I've done a couple of good racks of spare ribs, but they usually don't turn out all that good. I've been seasoning them the night before and letting them sit in the refrigerator. That's probably a big part of my problem. I'm planning on trying this sometime soon!

[@arnoldmorales9189]

Seasoning within an hour of cooking is all you need.

Outstanding! Gonna try these ribs this weekend. Question: What is the best use for all the scraps you cut off?

Chili of course

Hey bud love all your videos so much I binge watch them! I’m new to the Smoking world but just ordered some of your ribs off your site all the way from Montreal, Quebec Canada! Keep posting we absolutely love The Church!🔥🔥🔥

You all are very lucky out there where you can just go to a grocery store and buy meat/ribs that look like that and it’s like nothin to you guys. I’m jealous over here. The BBQ movement needs to be goin full steam everywhere so we all can enjoy it like they do in Texas.

[@mbrooks0711]

You can’t buy spare ribs at the store?! We still got room here in Texas for good folks like yourself. My buddy who moved to Ohio for work misses Texas BBQ. Every time I talk to him he asks about our buddy’s BBQ restaurant.
