Rib slabs

[Darchie03]

Don't know if this will interest anyone But I was in walmart today here in AZ. & they had short ribs for $1.84 a lb. I normally won't buy meat at walmart but these are US pork fresh not frozen look like the whole slab so I took a chance & bought 2 slabs, I know they aren't baby back or St. Louis but for the price I am going to try them.

Probably full racks of spareribs. Not a bad price. Good buy! Enjoy!

Personally I like spare ribs. Cut off the riblets to make a St. Louis. Then I smoke the riblets but only for about 1 hour or so. Then throw it into a pot of beans to stew hours.

Good call. I might have to try that next time.

I picked up some nice Smithfield SLC's at wolly world just now. They had some spares but I didn't feel like messing with 'em.

I used to trim spares to SLCs but since reading/watching Aaron Franklin on ribs, I just peel the membrane, trim the edges a bit & go for it. The little cartilage pieces are easy enough to deal with when they are cooked. Unless of course you are serving them at a formal dinner where gnawing on the bone would be a breach of etiquette.
