Rib tips are some of the most flavorful, tender chunks of meat you'll sink your teeth into. Toss them in a generous amount of barbecue sauce for the full experience!
Rinse rib tips in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Sprinkle the seasoning salt and garlic salt all over the rib tips.
Place seasoned tips in a plastic gallon storage bag and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
Take ribs out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before they are to go in the oven to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 275 F.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place seasoned tips on the pan and cover tightly with more foil.
Cook tips in preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours.
About 15 minutes before the end of the baking time, preheat your grill to 350 F.
Remove tips from oven. Using a fork, check for tenderness.
TIP: You can continue to bake them for up to one more hour if you like them even more tender than they are. Just keep in mind that you will be saucing them and placing them on the grill and you don’t want them so tender that the meat is falling off the bone and down into your grill grates!
Brush rib tips with your favorite barbecue sauce.
Place sauced tips on the grill and allow them to cook for 5 minutes. Turn them over and brush with sauce again, let cook for 5 minutes more.
Remove tips to a cutting board. Cut into bite sized pieces. Toss in additional barbecue sauce. Cover with foil and allow ribs to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Nutrition information does not include barbecue sauce.
Cook until tender but not falling off bone, you want to be able to turn them on the grill without the meat falling off.
If you prefer, you can use your broiler to char and caramelize the rib tips. Just watch them carefully and don’t walk away. Your broiler works very quickly and you will only need them in for a few minutes.
We went with a simple salt mixture for our ribs. Quite often, less is more! However if you have a favorite rib rub or other seasonings you like to use, simply replace our salt mixture with yours.
Store leftovers in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
