How to make a diy McRib

Every time the McRib sandwich is released, the whole world goes crazy for them. It’s no wonder, with its flavor-packed taste, the McRib is a fan favorite by far. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and eventually, McDonalds puts away this masterpiece until a later date.

If you have ever craved the McRib long after its departure, this recipe is for you! Making this sandwich is as easy as following the directions, and it will even taste better than the McRib. And once you make it, you will agree too.

What is a rib sandwich?

The rib sandwich started out in the south, although it’s enjoyed all over the country these days. It is made from a slab of pork ribs between two slices of bread (white bread is the preference) and covered with sauce, like BBQ or even teriyaki.

How to reheat a prime rib sandwich?

You will want to preheat your oven to 250F and put the prime rib on a baking pan. You should also add a few tablespoons of broth to keep the flavor intact and so the ribs won’t dry out. Cover the pan with tin foil (the tinfoil should be snug), and heat for about 10 minutes (the prime ribs should be heated through around the 10 minute mark.

  4. Rub mustard on ribs then evenly add your Rib Rub
  5. Place ribs directly on smoker or on a cookie sheet in the oven
  6. Spritz with juice every 30 minutes or when ribs appear to be drying out
  7. Smoke for 3-4 hours then remove from smoker or oven
  8. Wrap ribs in double layer of aluminum foil with 1/4 cup juice and a little extra rib rub and place back on smoker or in oven
  9. Cool another 2-3 hours and remove
  10. Turn ribs over and remove individual bones either by pulling them out (if they’re tender enough) or using a knife and scoring the back to remove them.
  11. Brush on 1 Cup if your BBQ sauce and place ribs back on smoker or in oven for 30 minutes then remove.

LONG POST (but worth reading) The last two days, I LONG POST (but worth reading) The last two days, I’ve had the awesome opportunity to serve as a volunteer for my church at the Deseret Mill & Pasta Plant for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Here we help package food that goes out to people in need ALL-OVER-THE-WORLD! I’m amazed at the insane amount of that food gets cranked out every day! Here are some stats for you that came off of just my lines the last two days. (There were 4 other lines running.)
4,860 packages (270 boxes, 5 pallets, 7,300 lbs.) of Chocolate Cake Mix. 
17,280 packages (720 boxes, 10 pallets, 18,000 lbs.) of Spaghetti. 💪🏻💪🏻
And these were in two 4 hour shifts of one food item. There are oats, onions, potatoes, beans, spaghetti, macaroni, rice, wheat, dry milk, sugar, apple slices, honey. And the list goes on and on. Glad to be a part of such an awesome cause and way of life! .

I walked my mom through roasting a turkey breast a I walked my mom through roasting a turkey breast and she knocked it out of the park. My mom rarely cooked the meat growing up.
