Ribs

• For the best tasting ribs, apply heated sauce to ribs after they are fully cooked.
• Never let flames from charcoal cook your ribs.
• To best control flames, cook ribs on a kettle style grill.
• For tender ribs, mix and apply 1 to 4 ratio of vinegar to water in a spray bottle. Spray ribs each time you turn them. Turn frequently.
  

Other Tips

• Place bacon bits on a baked potato and pour on Gridiron sauce.
• Use Gridiron sauce as a dipping sauce for shrimp, cold cuts, chips, fries, chicken fingers, and other finger foods.
• Give spaghetti a kick by mixing a 1:1 ratio of Gridiron sauce and tomato sauce.
• Pour off or rinse off your canned baked beans and add a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 cup of Gridiron sauce and mix. Place in oven and back for 1 hour at 300 degrees or cook in a pan on the stove over low heat for 1/2 hour. Stir frequently to make sure that the beans don't stick. Add a strip of bacon if desired.

Recipes

BBQ Salmon

Ingredients:
4 Salmon steaks ( 6 to 8 ounces each)
2 medium pads of butter
3 lemon slices
4 ounces of Gridiron Gourmet Barbecue sauce

Place salmon on a sheet of aluminum foil and brush on both sides with Gridiron Sauce (approximately 1 ounce for each steak). Place slices of lemon and butter on top on salmon and wrap loosely. Frill over medium hot coals for 10 minutes per each inch of thickness or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.


BBQ Beef Ribs

Place ribs in a flat pan or dish. Pour Gridiron sauce over ribs turning so as to coat both sides. Pierce the meat with a large fork. Marinate for 8 hours in Gridiron sauce, turning meat only once. Remove ribs and brush off excess sauce. Place on a grill and cook as you normally would. Brush on more sauce 4 to 5 minutes before removing. (Same applies when cooked in oven). Make sure to cook on a rack. This will prevent ribs from cooking in excess fat or grease drippings. Heat additional sauce and serve with ribs.


BBQ Meatloaf

Ingredients:
2 pounds of lean ground meat seasoned with pepper, onion powder and/or garlic powder
1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs or crushed crackers
1 large onion - chopped
1 medium green pepper - chopped
8 ounces of Gridiron Gourmet Barbecue sauce

Combine the beef, bread crumbs, onion, 6 ounces of Gridiron sauce (mild or hot), and green pepper. Mix and place in a loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. When loaf is done remove it and spoon on another 2 ounces of Gridiron sauce. Place in oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.


Spiced Chicken BBQ

Season chicken pieces with salt and red pepper. Place chicken pieces bone side down over medium to hot coals. Grill 25 minutes (until bone side is well browned.) Turn pieces over and grill another 25 minutes until chicken is tender. Brush chicken frequently with Gridiron Spicy sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling. You may want to add a teaspoon of Tabasco sauce to 4 ounces of Gridiron sauce to increase the heat.


BBQ Beef Brisket

Ingredients:
3 1/2 pounds of beef brisket
2 large onions - sliced
2 cups of Gridiron sauce
Salt

Place brisket in a shallow glass baking dish. Pour 2 cups of Gridiron sauce over it and cover and refrigerate for 8 hours. Turn the brisket several times during the refrigeration. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Scatter onions on top of the meat. Cover and bake for 3 1/2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cut the meat into thin slices. Use the pan juices as sauce or heat additional Gridiron sauce and pour over the brisket.


Gridiron Hamburgers

Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds of ground beef
4 tablespoons of garlic powder
4 tablespoons of Gridiron Sauce
2 tablespoons of black pepper
