These ribs are the perfect way to show your friends and family that you're the king or queen of the grill. They're juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender. The key to making great ribs is to cook them low and slow, so that the meat has time to break down and become tender. We use a combination of olive oil, salt, and pepper to season the ribs, and then we slather them in a delicious paleo-friendly barbecue sauce. The sriracha sauce adds a bit of heat, and the honey helps to caramelize the sauce. The result is a rack of ribs that is sure to impress everyone at your next barbecue.
I've always loved ribs. Ever since I was a kid, I would beg my dad to make them for me. He would always fire up the grill and cook them low and slow, and they would always turn out amazing. When I got older, I started to experiment with different ways of making ribs. I tried different rubs, sauces, and cooking methods. But no matter what I did, my ribs never turned out as good as my dad's. One day, I asked him what his secret was. He told me that he had been using a secret family recipe for years. He wouldn't share the recipe with me, but he did give me some tips. He told me to use a combination of olive oil, salt, and pepper to season the ribs, and to cook them low and slow. He also told me to slather them in a delicious barbecue sauce. I followed his advice, and my ribs turned out amazing. They were juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender. I was so happy with the results, that I decided to share the recipe with you. So here it is, my dad's secret family recipe for ribs. Enjoy!
