He Cooks: BBQ from the Russavages

The Russavages are my Mom and Step Dad. I've had quite a while to grow up in my teenage years with 'Russavage' bbq, though my Mom claims she had a lot to do with starting it. Whatever case, it's hard to beat Russavage Tri-tip and Pork Ribs. So I'll write them here for safe keeping.

- Butter on a bit over cooked

Pork Spare Rips:

Pork Rib needs to be cooked VERY different than Beef Rib. Beef is all about the slow, and locking in the flavor. Pork meat is already salty, and the ribs are very thin So Pork ribs are about speed.

Preheat to 350. Sear underside like Beef Ribs but for maybe 5 minutes. Then 10 minutes each side.

      Dry Rub:

Garlic Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder in abundance!

      Wet Rub:

Use a more flavorful sauce. My first attempt I used Dickey's Vinegar based sauce and it wasn't as flavorful. Still salt, pepper and onion powder, but doesn't have to be as much.

TriTip

Tritip, sliced raw garlic

Black Pepper, Garlic Salt, Onion Power

Pork Loin (dark red, not pink) or chicken thighs

- Apple cider vingear, 20 min marniade.
Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil, Chopped Fresh Rosemary, Chopper Fresh Basil, Salt and Pepper, Garlic (?) - Basting Sauce
