How to Make Texas-Style Smoked Spare Ribs:

Step 1

Remove the skin off of the ribs and just pull it out, then discard the skin, and season the ribs with salt and pepper on both sides generously. Put it in the fridge to chill for a few minutes and let the flavor seep into the ribs, then while waiting, preheat your grill to 250°F.

Step 2

When ready, place the ribs inside the grill, then close the lid, and let the ribs smoke for about 5 to 6 hours or until tender. Check for its doneness after a couple of hours to see if the meat is tender, then once ready, remove it from the grill, and serve. Enjoy!
