Smoked Ribs with an Italian BBQ sauce
These ribs are smoked for 4 hours and then tossed in an Italian influenced BBQ sauce.
- 3 Racks St Louis Style Ribs
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 Small Onion
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Molasses
- 1 28 oz can Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Dried Oregano
- 1/4 Cup Grated Parm
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
Smoke the ribs with a mixture of hickory and mesquite wood for about 3 or 4 hours. Once the ribs hit 165, continue to cook the ribs but remove the smoking element. Once the ribs hit 195, remove from heat.
Meanwhile, Chop the onion and dice the garlic. Cook the onion in the oil over medium/high heat for about 8-10 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir well. Add the cheese, oregano, molasses, honey, and worcestershire. Simmer for an hour.
Once the ribs are off the heat, chop into segments of 2 or 3 ribs and toss them in the tomato sauce. Serve.
