    When you have a little more time to prepare for dinner and are looking for a recipe that can serve a larger group, nothing quite beats a savory ribs recipe. Although these dishes take a little more time to cook, the benefit is that most of the time is taken up by the hours required for baking in a low-temperature oven.

    Barbecued St Louis Style Ribs

    When you really need to dedicate your attention to ribs is when they are ready for grilling, which can take just a few minutes on an outdoor or indoor grill. Recipes like this St. Louis-style ribs dish are awesome for evenings when you want to impress your diners by showing off your grilling skills but don’t want to spend all of your time doing so.

    This recipe differs from other grilled ribs dishes with the special St. Louis spice blend that you’ll be rubbing on prior to baking your dish. But the fun part of ribs, of course, is the slather of barbecue sauce. Since mainstream barbecue sauces are by and large, non-Paleo, you’ll be making this sauce yourself.

    One of the largest components of this sauce is the homemade ketchup – it’s a great idea to prep batches of this in advance to save for recipes in the future (we like portioning these by cups and freezing if you don’t foresee using up all of it in a week or so).

    For a great side, try pairing this dish with a quick and easy vegetable skewer that can cook while your ribs are on the grill. You can create skewers from pretty much any veggies you have on hand and season with salt and pepper, or try a different idea like these zesty grilled sweet potatoes.
