Grilled Beef Baby Back Rib Recipe

Use this beef back rib recipe to achieve flavor perfection: grilled baby back ribs finished in the slow cooker! The grilling imparts that wonderful smoked barbecue flavor, and the four following hours in the crockpot allow the grilled baby back ribs to cook down and tenderize. Don’t be fooled by the long cook time…this is an incredibly easy recipe! Just put the ribs into that crock pot after grilling and forget about them until dinnertime (though you might smell them long before that)!

Grilled Beef Baby Back Rib Recipe

(Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Soy Free)

1 3/4 cup barbecue sauce (homemade barbecue sauce recipe linked below)
Salt and pepper (as needed)
2 Alderspring baby back ribs

Heat up the grill to high heat.
Place the two back ribs on the grill. Grill on high heat for just a few minutes per side…not enough to cook them, but enough to get some good grill lines. Keep the grill closed as much as possible to contain smoke and flavor the back ribs!
After about 10 minutes on the grill, remove the back ribs and place in a dutch oven or crock pot (if they are too long to fit in the crock pot, just cut each one in half. It’s okay if they are stacked in the crock pot.)
Pour barbecue sauce over and stir the back ribs around a bit to make sure they are well-coated. Make sure the back ribs are lying exposed bone side down (curving upwards in the center). You may need to add a little water as well if it’s thick barbecue sauce.
Turn the crock pot to 250 degrees F or put the dutch oven in the oven at the same temp. Cook the back ribs down for about 4 hours, checking occasionally and adding water if needed to prevent the sauce from burning.
Chop into individual ribs, add additional barbecue sauce if desired, and serve…make sure everyone has a napkin!
