Full Plate Pork Ribs

Full Plate Pork Ribs are a larger, meatier alternative to the more common half rib rack. With the full rack kept intact, they’re a great option when you’re cooking for a crowd or want a generous centrepiece for the table. They’re particularly well suited to low and slow cooking, smoking or barbecuing, making them a great choice for spring and summer entertaining.

Are plate ribs the same as short ribs?

Not quite. Plate ribs and short ribs can refer to different cuts depending on the type of meat. Linley Valley Pork’s Full Plate Pork Ribs are a pork rib cut, made for low and slow cooking, smoking or barbecuing.

Any tips for tender, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs?

Low and slow cooking is the best way to achieve tender pork ribs. Season the ribs with your favourite BBQ rub and cook them indirectly at a low temperature until the meat becomes soft and tender. Wrapping the ribs partway through cooking can also help retain moisture and create that fall-off-the-bone texture.

What are the best side dishes to serve with full plate pork ribs?

Full Plate Pork Ribs pair well with classic BBQ sides such as coleslaw, potato salad, grilled corn, fresh salads and roasted vegetables. You can also serve them with cornbread, pickles or grilled apple for a simple meal that works well for entertaining.

What’s the best way to store full plate ribs for freshness?

Keep your Full Plate Pork Ribs refrigerated and follow the use-by date on the packaging. Store them in their original packaging or in a sealed container in the coldest part of your fridge. If you are not planning to cook them within the recommended timeframe, they can also be frozen and thawed in the fridge before cooking.
