How to Make Easy Grilled Hawaiian Pork Ribs

Easy Grilled Hawaiian Pork Ribs

We wanted to do something different this year for our Easter meal. Of course, everyone else was on board so we decided on doing some ribs instead of the traditional Easter ham.

With my ribs purchase, I also bought a regular bottle of barbecue sauce and a small can of crushed pineapple. I wanted to give this recipe a Hawaiian flare.

One of the things I really and truly love about Smithfield ribs is that there is no prep. They are already super tender. With these, I just have to grill them until they are done for the perfect taste and flavor.

I always start my ribs with this dry rub seasoning before putting them on the grill.

Then I they go in the oven for an hour on 300. This just gets them going before putting them on the grill.

While they are in the oven getting that first initial cook process going, I get my barbecue sauce made up. I add 1 small can of crushed pineapple with juice to 1 bottle of regular smoke barbecue sauce and mix together.

Then hubby heads outside to get our Weber Charcoal grill going. Seriously — there is no better grill on the market than a wonderful old style Weber Charcoal Grill.

Cooking the Ribs

Once the fire gets going good, I remove the ribs from the oven and get them on the grill. Since they've already slow cooked a bit in the oven, it won't take real long to get them finished on the grill.

For us, we like the black crusty edges of a rib. That sauce gets all caramelized on there and is just packed full of flavor.

After putting them on the grill, I start slathering them down with my Hawaiian style bbq sauce. Those little crushed pineapple pieces get grilled on there and the sugars start getting crispy and delicious and before long you have the most amazing grilled ribs that you will ever put in your mouth.

That is the perfect combo of flavors. Sweetness of the fruit with a smokey hint. Hickory is the best! #client
