How To Cook Ribs On Blackstone

Cooking Ribs On Blackstone Recipe Tips

• Preheat Properly: Always preheat the griddle to medium-high heat for the best sear and to ensure even cooking.
• Use a Meat Thermometer: Check the internal temperature of the ribs to ensure they reach at least 145°F. This ensures they’re fully cooked without being overdone.
• Let the Ribs Rest: After cooking, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for a more tender bite.
• Flip Frequently: To avoid burning and ensure even cooking, flip your ribs every few minutes as they cook on the griddle.
• Brush with BBQ Sauce: Add your favorite BBQ sauce during the final minutes of cooking for a flavorful glaze without burning the sauce.
• Spice It Up: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different spice blends or marinades to tailor the flavor to your liking.
• Use a Grill Press: For more consistent heat and to create beautiful grill marks, consider using a grill press when cooking your ribs.

Storing

• Storing: After cooking your Blackstone ribs, allow them to cool to room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
• Freezing: To freeze, wrap the ribs tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
• Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven or griddle to 350°F (175°C). For oven reheating, place the ribs on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and heat for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. For the griddle, heat the ribs for 5-10 minutes, flipping occasionally until hot. Add a little extra BBQ sauce for added moisture and flavor.

What To Serve With Blackstone Ribs

Blackstone ribs pair perfectly with a variety of sides that complement their smoky, savory flavor. Serve them with classic BBQ sides like creamy coleslaw, baked beans, and crispy potato wedges for a hearty meal. For a lighter option, try a fresh garden salad or grilled vegetables to balance out the richness of the ribs. Corn on the cob and garlic bread also make excellent sides to round out the meal, adding a touch of sweetness and crunch. Whether you’re hosting a casual dinner or a summer cookout, these sides will elevate your Blackstone ribs to a whole new level of deliciousness.
