Cooking your rib tips in a slow cooker will give you tender, falling-off-the-bone ribs. Then finish them off under the broiler or throw them on the grill for a few minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pound pork rip tips
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce, divided
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
Directions
- Step 1
Mix brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub each rib with dry rub mixture until thoroughly coated. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Mix BBQ sauce and liquid smoke until well combined.
Step 3
Place ribs in the slow cooker and pour BBQ sauce mixture evenly over ribs.
Step 4
Cook on Low until ribs are tender, 4 to 6 hours.
Step 5
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
Step 6
Remove ribs from the slow cooker and baste with remaining BBQ sauce.
Step 7
Broil ribs in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
Cook's Note:
Instead of broiling the rib tips, you can also throw them on the hot grill.
