American-style Ribs

American ribs are synonymous with juicy flavor and smoky aroma. The meat is rubbed with a rich mixture of spices, including paprika, garlic, and onion, and then smoked for a long time with oak wood. Before serving, they are often coated with a sweet-spicy barbecue sauce, adding a distinctive, deep sweetness and spiciness. Perfect for eating by hand, these ribs are the essence of American barbecue.
