Spicy Ribs

Spicy ribs are a test of patience and flavor layering. Because ribs sit in the heat for hours, the spice profile must survive the “long haul” without turning bitter. This tag brings together our most popular spicy rib recipes, focusing on the techniques that keep meat succulent while building a formidable, spicy bark. From the peppery bite of a beef short rib to the tangy heat of a peri-peri pork rib, our recipes are optimized for everything from charcoal grills to intense wood-fired Braais. Dive in to find your next weekend project.
