We're talking less prep time in the kitchen, and more time spent with friends and family out in the sun. Sounds great, right?!

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • Lots of flavor. AdapTable Meals® Kansas City BBQ Boneless Pork Loin Backribs come pre-marinated and perfectly seasoned, so all that's left is the fun part: grilling!
    • Tender & juicy. The ribs are seared quickly over high heat, locking in the juices and keeping the ribs tender on the inside and perfectly charred on the outside.
    • Easy to make. The ribs only take 20 minutes on the grill and are served with easy and fresh sides.

    What are boneless pork ribs?

    Boneless pork ribs are rib-like strips of meat cut from pork loin, meaning the meat doesn't actually come from the ribs. The meat comes from the pork loin and is then sliced into strips of meat to make "ribs."

    The meat comes from the loin, which means boneless pork ribs a very lean cut of meat that's high in protein.

    Are boneless country-style pork ribs the same as boneless pork ribs?

    Boneless country-style pork ribs are the same as boneless pork ribs or boneless pork loin backribs. They're all the same cut of meat, but go by a few different names.

    There is also bone-in country-style pork ribs, but that cut usually comes from the pork shoulder. The bone-in country style ribs are fattier and are best cooked low and slow, like you would a pork shoulder roast. They can be smoked, slow cooked on the grill or braised in the oven.

    Ingredients

    • AdapTable Meals® Kansas City BBQ Boneless Pork Loin Backribs (or boneless country-style pork ribs)
    • Peaches or nectarines
    • Red onion
    • Jalapeno
    • Cilantro
    • Lime
    • Mayonnaise
    • Dijon mustard
    • Apple cider vinegar
    • Honey
    • Salt
    • Black pepper
    • Green cabbage

    Dry rub & BBQ sauce

    AdapTable Meals® Kansas City BBQ Boneless Pork Loin Backribs come pre-seasoned, so they're ready right out of the package! No mixing up a dry rub or waiting for the ribs to marinate.

    If using boneless country-style ribs that aren't pre-seasoned, I recommend seasoning the ribs with BBQ dry rub about 10-15 minutes before grilling. You can get my favorite Sweet BBQ Rub recipe here – it's made with simple, pantry staple ingredients. If desired, brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling. I also have a great recipe for homemade Sweet & Tangy BBQ sauce!

    Grilling boneless pork ribs

    When grilling meat that is as lean as boneless pork ribs, you want to grill them quickly over high heat to prevent them from drying out. I recommend heating your grill to medium-high heat, about 450°F. This will allow you to get a light char on the outside, while keeping the inside tender and juicy.

    Instructions

    Quick overview on how to grill boneless pork ribs. See recipe card for full instructions.

    1. Preheat the grill. You want to cook boneless pork ribs over medium-high heat, about 450°F.
    2. Oil the grill grates. This prevents the meat from sticking to the grill! It's super easy to do. Simply dip a paper towel in vegetable or olive oil, then use tongs to rub the oil-soaked paper towel over the grill grates where you plan to cook.
    3. Grill the ribs. Lay the ribs on the hot grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked to an internal temperature of about 150°F.
    4. Let rest. Loosely cover the ribs with tinfoil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute from the surface of the meat to the center.
    5. Serve. Enjoy with peach pico de gallo and creamy cabbage slaw.

    Best internal temperature for boneless pork ribs

    The FDA recommends grilling pork to an internal temperature of 145°F – this will give you pork that is still a little pink inside. For pork without pink, I recommend cooking to an internal temperature of 150°F.

    As always when grilling meat, let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This is for two reasons. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees once removed from the grill. Second, grilling over high heat draws juices to the surface of the meat, so by giving the meat time to rest, the juices can redistribute to the center.

    Please keep in mind that this recommended internal temperature doesn't apply to ground pork.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long does it take boneless pork ribs to cook on the grill?

    When cooked over medium-high heat, about 450°F, it takes about 15-20 minutes to cook boneless pork ribs on the grill.

    How long does it take to cook boneless pork ribs at 400 degrees?

    Grilling boneless pork ribs at 400°F will take a little longer, about 20-25 minutes.

    What temp should I cook ribs in the oven?

    I recommend cooking boneless pork ribs in the oven at 350°F.

    Variations

    • Sauce or no sauce. It all comes down to personal preference. Some will say that BBQ sauce overpowers the flavor of the meat, while others like things a little more saucy. Whether using AdapTable Meals pork ribs or seasoning ribs yourself with dry rub, the ribs will have plenty of flavor without BBQ sauce, but it does add an extra touch of sweet tang. The choice is yours!
    • Peach pico de gallo. You can also use mango, pineapple or nectarines!
    • Don't like cilantro? Leave it out! You certainly don't need it, but if you love cilantro, I highly recommend adding it!

    Storage & reheating

    How to store leftover pork ribs

    Store leftover pork ribs in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

    How to reheat pork ribs

    Reheat the pork ribs on the grill, in the oven or under the broiler.

    • Grill: Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, flipping a couple of times, until just heated through.
    • Oven: Wrap the ribs in tinfoil and place in a 350°F oven. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until just heated through.
    • Broiler: My favorite method! It's quick and easy. Place ribs on a sheet pan and broil for 2-3 minutes until just heated through; watch closely so they don't burn.
