After reviewing the book Slow Fire…The Beginner’s Guide to Barbecue by Ray “Dr. BBQ” Lampe, I decided to give his barbecue championship ribs recipe a try. Were they championship quality?

These Mexican short ribs just can’t be beat! Mesquite smoke, cumin, cilantro and a little Jalapeno heat all come together with the robust flavor of beef for some great lip-smackin’ ribs. Side dishes not required!

Grilled Lamb Crown Roast

Nothing adds festive to a table setting better than a rack of meat! This lamb crown roast is a great example. Cooked low-and-slow on the grill with a hint of smoke and orange cranberry stuffing.

These glazed lamb ribs combine the great flavors of the grill with that of lamb and give it an extra kick of Jalapeno flavor. Not overpowering, but just right! For an extra kick, add a finely diced Jalapeno peppers.

Korean Beef Ribs

The greatest dish from the grill, in my opinion is Galbi. Beef short ribs thinly butterflied and marinated with Asian pear and sesame oil. I needed a Korean barbecue fix, so here’s my speedy version.

Texas Blackjack BBQ Ribs

Blackjack Barbecued Ribs

In an attempt to replicate some Texas ribs I once had, I ran into this recipe. Coffee and Worcestershire give a slight pungent flavor that is softened somewhat by the catchup and brown sugar.

Honey BBQ Ribs

How good are sweet and sticky barbecued ribs? They just can’t be beat! This recipe uses honey and ketchup as a base and gets an influx of flavor from French onion soup. Plus there’s only 5 ingredients!

Black Magic BBQ Ribs

These aren’t your Daddy’s BBQ ribs! They’re somewhat sophisticated. A savory sauce of balsamic vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire, coffee and cocoa provides the magic flavor for these grilled spareribs.

You just can’t beat the flavor that fruit brings to barbecued ribs. These blueberry glazed ribs are a prime example of that. Fruit offers the sweetness we look for in a barbecue sauce.
