Equipment

  • 1 sous vide circulator

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lbs St. Louis style pork ribs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your sous vide water bath to 165°F (74°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
  • Generously coat the ribs with the dry rub, ensuring even coverage.

Sous Vide Cooking

  • Place the seasoned ribs in a vacuum-seal bag or a heavy-duty zip-top bag. If using a zip-top bag, use the water displacement method to remove air.
  • Submerge the bagged ribs in the preheated water bath and cook for 24 hours.

BBQ Finishing

  • Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
  • - Remove the ribs from the sous vide bag and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush with apple cider vinegar.
  • Lightly coat the ribs with vegetable oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the ribs for about 5-10 minutes per side, basting with barbecue sauce, until they develop a nice char and are heated through.

Serving

  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after grilling.
  • Slice the ribs into individual pieces and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.

Notes

Tips:
 -Serve these ribs with classic summer sides like coleslaw, potato salad, and grilled corn.
-For added flavor, you can marinate the ribs with the dry rub overnight before sous-viding.
Enjoy your flavorful, tender, and juicy St. Louis style pork ribs at your summer potluck!
