Yesterday's dinner.
I bought a bottle of Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express rub with the intent of trying it on some beef, but I wanted some ribs and I came across a coffee sauce recipe over on Susie's site so that set this in motion. First thing, hats off to
tallbm
for all the R&D on the beans. They came out awesome, even better the next day.
Made these and the sauce on Friday. Used a ham hock for the meat. Tasty, but next time I might try something else just for kicks.
Everyone in the pool for a two hour pressure swim!
The sauce recipe called for coffee, but I stumbled across these a while back at the Coast Guard Exchange and it made a fine substitute to plain old pedestrian coffee in the sauce.
Nice color and depth of flavor. I'm not a super taster by any means but the coffee added a depth to the sauce that was quite noticeable. I don't over analyze, either I like things or not but again there was something to this simple sauce that made it pretty exceptional IMHO.
These got rubbed up in the morning with a mustard binder. Side note.. The Arby's horsey sauce thread prompted me to buy a bottle yesterday morning on my store run and I'd be a liar if I said the idea of using the horsey sauce as a binder didn't cross my mind. Maybe next time...
The pellet pooper has been lonely so it gets the nod. Set these on hi smoke for an hour before cranking up to 265. The sweet tater had been setting on the counter for about a week and I figured what the hey... lets just throw it on and when its done it's done. It actually rode the whole way with the ribs and came out at about 200 IT.
Saturday TV while the ribs were smoking. Love that show.
Apparently this is the last picture of the ribs before saucing and slicing. Probably a little too much chef's helper involved. This was right before saucing the bottom, flipping and finishing the job. after about 30 minutes to let the sauce set up I tossed them in a warm oven to rest so I could take the hounds out for a walk.
Plate shot. Tender and tasty ribs, and those beans were killer. I eat my roasted sweet taters plain as they need nothing else.
Thanks for looking!
