Ingredients
Scale
Ribs and Sauce
- 3 pounds baby back ribs (cooked and deboned)
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
Toppings
- 3 slices onion
- ½ cup dill pickles
Buns
- 4 long sandwich buns
Instructions
- Prepare the ribs. Cook the ribs using your preferred method until tender and fully cooked; then carefully remove the bones. This step ensures the ribs are ready for assembling the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwich. Place the hot, boneless rib meat on the sandwich buns. Spread BBQ sauce generously over the meat for that classic tangy flavor.
- Add toppings. Layer sliced onions and dill pickles on top of the BBQ-coated meat to add crunch and zest.
- Serve and enjoy. Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides like french fries for a complete meal experience.
Notes
- The ribs can be cooked by grilling, oven roasting, or slow cooking according to your preference.
- For best flavor, use a smoky or tangy BBQ sauce similar to what McDonald’s uses.
- You can toast the buns lightly for added texture and warmth.
- Experiment with additional toppings like lettuce if desired, although the original McRib is kept simple.
