Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 4 lb bison back ribs (fresh or fully thawed)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp lemon pepper for spice rub
  • 2 tbsp garlic salt for spice rub
  • 2 tsp cayenne for spice rub
  • 1 tsp ground rosemary for spice rub
  • .5 tsp ground thyme for spice rub
  • 2 cup chopped onions for glazing sauce
  • 1 clove minced garlic for glazing sauce
  • 1 cup ketchup for glazing sauce
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar for glazing sauce
  • 1 tsp salt for glazing sauce
  • 1/4 tsp coarse ground pepper for glazing sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar for glazing sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce for glazing sauce
  • 1 tbsp grainy mustard for glazing sauce
  • Spice rub can be made in larger batches and kept in a sealed jar at room temperature for up to 6 months. Use dried spices only.

Instructions

Glazing Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
  • Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Note: Glaze can be made in larger batches ahead of time and refrigerated in a sealed container fridge for 2 days.

Back Ribs

  • Cook the bison back rib racks whole to retain meat juices. Carve into individual pieces to serve.
  • Combine all spices into a small bowl and blend well.
  • Generously season rib racks on both sides with the rub.
  • Grill on both sides under the broiler of your oven on high heat until crust forms (3-5 minutes a side).
  • Turn the oven down to 250°F.
  • Transfer bone side down to an oiled grate inside a roasting pan. Add 1 cup of water.
  • Cover and cook for 1½ hour. Turn over and cook for another 45 minutes until meat is tender. Remove and let stand 10 minutes for the juices to settle.
  • Place the ribs bone side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or onto the oiled grill of the BBQ set to medium low heat.
  • Brush glazing sauce on the meat and cook for another 15 minutes until caramelized.
