Garlic Parmesan St. Louis Style Pork Spareribs

For the past four years I’ve been working with Smithfield to create recipes using their various pork products. In case you’ve missed them you can click here to check out all the different dishes I’ve come up with thus far. Well, I’m super psyched to report that they’ve invited me back for a fifth year!

I spent all last year highlighting the versatility of their Marinated Fresh Pork products my making things like Pulled Pork and Macaroni and Cheese Egg Rolls and Pork Teriyaki in Edible Noodle Bowls and this year leading up to a few different NASCAR races I’ll be sharing recipes that feature Smithfield’s high-quality, hand-trimmed ribs.

If you follow me on Instagram at all and ever watch any of my Instagram Stories you’re probably more than aware of how often I eat garlic parmesan chicken wings, so when it came time for me to think of a recipe using Smithfield’s Extra Tender St. Louis Style Spareribs — which you can find at your local Walmart — I decided to test out how well that same garlic parmesan sauce that I love so much with chicken would work on ribs. Well, long story short, it tasted amazing with ribs!

For some reason a lot of the garlic parmesan sauce recipes out there have vinegar in them, which I’ve never been a fan of because it gives the sauce a little bit of an acidic taste. The recipe I used with these ribs ditches the vinegar completely and just uses garlic, shredded parmesan, mayonnaise, a little bit of milk and lemon juice, salt, pepper and a few spices. I made the sauce a little thicker than I normally would if I was using it for chicken wings just because I brushed it onto the ribs while they were still on the grill, but if you don’t want your sauce quite so thick just add an extra tablespoon of milk and you’l be all good.
