Easy Ribs on the Grill: The G-Mom’s BBQ Way

Summer isn’t the only time to fire up the grill, but we can’t deny, it’s when the craving for smoky, sticky ribs really kicks in. And if you’re looking for a no-fuss way to get tender ribs packed with flavor, you’re in the right place. These Easy Ribs on the Grill come together fast, with just a few ingredients and a whole lot of love thanks to G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or keeping it low-key with the family, this method takes the guesswork out of grilling. Best part? You don’t need fancy equipment or a secret spice stash. Costco ribs, a hot grill, and G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce are all you need to make magic happen.

What You’ll Need

• • 1 pack of Costco ribs (3 racks per pack)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce (homemade or from your local stockist)
  • A working grill (gas or charcoal, your call)
  • Foil for resting

Step-by-Step: Easy Ribs on the Grill

1. Prep the Ribs

Start with fully thawed ribs. Cut each rack into pairs—two ribs per group. It makes flipping easier and helps them cook evenly. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Fire Up the Grill

Turn your grill to high heat, at least 400°F to 500°F. Let it preheat with the lid down so it gets good and hot. This sear is what gives you that classic char on the meat side.

3. Sear and Slow Down

Place ribs meat-side down directly on the grates. Let them sizzle for about 5 minutes, just long enough to get a good sear. Then, drop the heat to 250°F and flip the ribs over.

Close the lid and let them cook low and slow for 40 to 45 minutes. You’re looking for an internal temperature of 145°F, which gives you safe, juicy meat that still holds its shape.

4. Sauce It Up

Once they hit temp, this is where the G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce shines. You can either brush it on or dip the ribs right into the sauce. There’s no wrong move here, just get that sauce on.

The tangy-sweet-spicy flavor of G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce pulls everything together. Whether you like your ribs a little smoky or on the sweeter side, this sauce plays along with just about any palate.

5. Let It Rest

After they’re sauced, wrap the ribs in foil and let them rest for 10 minutes. This step keeps the juices in and gives the flavor time to settle in. Once unwrapped, you’ve got ribs that are ready to steal the show.

G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce: The Heart of the Dish

Let’s talk about that sauce for a second. G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce wasn’t just made for ribs, but ribs are where it really stands out. It’s thick enough to cling, balanced enough to complement, and bold enough to make an impression without overpowering the meat.

Made from a family recipe passed down through generations, G-Mom’s sauce skips the gimmicks and leans into the basics done well. You’ll taste the tomato, brown sugar, a little vinegar tang, and just enough spice to make you want another bite. And then another.

Tips for Better Grilling

• • Don’t skip the preheat. A hot grill helps develop that initial sear and gives the ribs a good start.
  • Keep the lid closed. Once you lower the heat, let the grill do its thing. Peeking lets the heat out and slows down the cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer. Don’t guess—145°F is your goal for tender, ready-to-eat ribs.
  • Let them rest. That final 10-minute pause in foil is worth the wait. The ribs finish cooking gently and hold onto every bit of flavor.

Make It Yours

Once you’ve nailed the basics, you can start experimenting. Try rubbing the ribs with a little garlic powder or smoked paprika before grilling. Or finish them with a second coat of sauce and a quick blast of heat for that sticky finish.

But honestly? The simplicity is the beauty here. Just ribs, salt, pepper, fire, and sauce.

Serve It Up

Pair these Easy Ribs on the Grill with a fresh side like grilled corn, coleslaw, or a scoop of baked beans. Cold drinks are a must. And if you’ve got folks coming over, go ahead and double the batch, these tend to disappear fast.

If you’ve got leftovers (unlikely), they reheat well in foil at 300°F for about 15 minutes.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t just about ribs, it’s about making dinner something to look forward to. G-Mom’s BBQ Sauce brings a familiar, comforting taste to your grill, and with just a few steps, you’ll have a meal worth repeating.
