Whether you like them sweet and saucy, hot and spicy, or smoked to perfection, it's hard to resist getting your hands dirty eating a slab of ribs. But what is the best way to prepare them? In a special week-long series called "Ribs 5 Ways in 5 Days," "Today" goes in search of the best-tasting ribs. In day one, Pat and Tony Neely, from Neely's Barbecue in Memphis and Nashville, Tenn., were invited on the show to share their secrets for Memphis-style pork ribs (plus all the fixings). Here are the recipes:
INGREDIENTS
Neely's BBQ Sauce
Neely's BBQ Seasoning
Place pork rib slab flat on a clean chopping board. Pull off membrane. Cut off the excess fat and meat. Season both sides of the slab with Neely's BBQ Seasoning and refrigerate the for at least 8 hours. Preheat your grill at 250 degrees, using hickory and charcoal. Place the slab on the grill away from the flame (using indirect heat). Cook the slab for approximately 2-1/2 hours with the curl side up. Flip the over to finish cooking for approximately 1 hour or until you get full "bend" in the slab.
