Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Iberico Rib Fingers
  • 4 tbsp Pork Rub
  • 2 tbsp Sumac
  • 6 tbsp dark syrup (treacle or molasses)

Sides/dip

  • 6 tbsp sriracha mayo
  • 6 tbsp fried onions

Instructions

Phase I – smoke

  • Fire up your grill, prepare it for indirect grilling. Have it running at 110-130° C / 230° – 265° F. Use the snake method if you’re using a kettle grill, or even better, a Slow ‘N Sear.

  • Place the meat strips on a cutting board. Mix the rub and the sumac in a small bowl or jar. Sprinkle an even layer of the rub mix on all of them. Make sure you turn them and cover all sides.

  • Once the grill or smoker is up to temp: place all the meat strips on the grill grates, on the cooler side. Leave some space in between each strip. Smoke them like this for 40-45 minutes.

Phase II – caramelize

  • Now it's time to crank up the heat at bit in your grill/smoker.
  • Apply the dark syrup on all rib fingers. I use a squeeze bottle for this. I don't go overboard on the sugar, but that's all up to personal preference.
  • Now grill the meat over direct heat, watching the rib fingers closely so they don't get burnt. This only takes a minute or two.
  • Remove meat from the grill, let it cool off for a bit, then serve with suggested sides.
