smoked ribs

Low-slow pork

Smoked ribs are pork or beef ribs cooked slowly over low heat with wood smoke, a technique central to American barbecue.

The long cooking time breaks down connective tissue, yielding tender meat that pulls easily from the bone.

Regional styles vary in rubs, sauces, and wood choices: Kansas City-style smoked ribs, Texas beef ribs.

The dish is a staple at cookouts and barbecue competitions.
