Texas Style Spare Ribs

Texas Style Spare Ribs
As a BBQ man I personally enjoy traditional Texas style spare ribs. A sharp contrast to sweet, St. Louis style ribs that are so common in the competition BBQ world. If you have ever been to a Texas BBQ joint then you have probably had a really long pork rib that has not been trimmed down to a St. Louis cut rib.

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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

[@Mtts28]

Made this today. Turned out amazing. Best part of this method is the simplicity. Not worrying about wrapping etc… just let em cook til they are done. Easy

[@AdamColemanKy]

This is my favorite way to cook ribs.

[@markreiter8778]

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

[@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 😁

[@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!!

[@CoolJay77]

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

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Yesssss!

[@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!

[@ronknight779]

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

[@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!

[@alwarren8325]

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

[@jeffreytaylor6257]

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

[@OKNateM]

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

[@gerdsfargen6687]

Was just thinking of this yesterday. Thinking now how about some ribs with holy cow on them. Spot on my friend! Spot on 😎

[@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!

[@ROgletree]

Goldee’s BBQ sauce may be the best in the world but at $17 a bottle I’ll never find out. That’s just sticking it to people.

[@johnnyvudu]

that's why I searched for a similar recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5_JmoB3fJ2GkM0si=wzf9wkNhtFEOU5w2

[@quetimporta213]

For real. I've had it and it's good, but not $17 good for that small bottle.

[@LoneWolfBarbecue]

You'll be happy to know it's $5.68 at Walmart! Lol

[@ROgletree]

@@LoneWolfBarbecue it’s listed as out of stock and $13.83 plus $6.99 shipping.

[@nj-bz8pv]

Making my mouth water.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Spankys_racing]

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

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love it!

[@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.

[@jabusspires6506]

YES!!!! That's what I'm talking about!

[@PokerProTX]

Once again an awesome video! Shout out from right up the street in DeSoto.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Nice!! We run through there all the time.

[@dannymarkgraf34]

another great video. love the meat church seasonings, they are my go to now when cooking. thanks for the great content

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Danny!!

[@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.

[@breckmst]

Great video and yes Goldee's are the best great bbq with free beer you can't go wrong

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks!!

[@Darick_C]

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

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Agreed! 👊🏽

[@stevemeeks1873]

Just recently got turned on to your holy voodoo....mercy it's absolutely amazing and love the videos learning something new!! I'm a fan for life!!

[@jasonmartinson6138]

My now preferred method to do ribs. Works every time! 👊🏻

[@BBQFriend]

Awesome man! Each video you put out i pick up on some small details that help me on my cooks.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Awesome man. 👊🏽

[@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!

[@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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

😂😂

[@icolorgood2370]

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!!!!

[@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

[@JH-tk6oi]

Miller Lite by the block is classic- great video!

[@franklinfun840]

Keep using that Goldees and I'll keep making it!!

[@ryanjenkins8728]

How can I get this sauce shipped? I would love to try it and I no longer live in the great state of TX :-(

[@meh3884]

Been having so much fun with my new pellet grill and your channel. Honestly what spurred me to buy the smoker. Found your rub at the local butcher here and they told me it's too pepper forward. I was real nice about telling them this area wouldn't know good bbq (or pizza) if it slapped them in the head. Seattle by way of New York, learning the way of the bbq. Cheers!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

As you know Texas BBQ is S&P base, so lots of pepper. With that said we have 13 other seasonings if folks don't like that. :)

[@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

[@colinjohnson8511]

Yes sir they look fabulous

[@Fresh_Baklava]

That’s a nice cutting board

[@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!

[@alg8181]

It was a mistake watching this video before going to the gym. Looks amazing as always!

[@1chefbr]

You are My #1 go to my friend! Keep ‘em comin!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@Bullkthx]

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

[@lx2nv]

man that looks amazing

[@dannyrichardson1443]

Looks amazing cooking ribs tomorrow.

[@Blue-uk6fd]

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!🔥🔥🔥

[@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.

[@andrewstevens1316]

Great to see another rib video. Have to say my favorite part of every video is seeing Matt have a Miller Lite cracked and ready to go after the work is done. You deserve it man, thanks for always producing great content and introducing great ideas and products!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Gotta have a hand cramping cold Miller Lite!!! Thank you for the kind words Andrew.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Agree!! Taste is better IMO.

[@natewalls4850]

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.

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!
