Wow! Grilled Short Ribs w/Mustard Glaze ~ Yummmmmmm!!

 You probably don't remember the Mustard Glazed Pork Roast R&R I did recently. No matter.  In that review, I mentioned I thought that the mustard glaze would be really awesome on some grilled ribs and/or grilled chicken. Yesterday, I decided to try out the ribs! OMGosh!! Absolutely 'to die for!!  I kid you not!  Those were the BEST grilled ribs I've had in ages!! Moans and groans around the table and it was just me and DH!!! :o)   I will definitely be using this glaze on my ribs again! If it was this good on the ribs, I KNOW it's gonna be great on grilled chicken, too!! So that's on the menu in the coming weeks!!

Here's the recipe for just the glaze -

1/4 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup prepared mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted

I added just a wee bit of orange juice, too. I thought it would cut done a bit more of the mustard flavor and  enhance the apricot preserves just a bit without adding any more sweetness! I'll definitely do that again!

I wasn't really sure what I was gonna serve with the ribs. I love sweet potatoes with pork. So I borrowed the idea for the Grilled Sweet Potato Packets recipe that I got from these boards a couple years ago and played with that one. I think it was the perfect accompaniment. Here's what I did  -

I peeled one sweet potato and cut it into about 1/8" slices. I took a few thin Vidalia slices and layered them on top of the potatoes. I drizzled a bit of olive oil on top, added a bit of fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt and then a small pat of butter. Sealed it all tightly in foil and grilled for about 15 min. or so. Those sweet onions with those sweet potatoes was soooooooo  yummy! At serving time, I drizzled just a bit of the leftover mustard glaze over the sweet potatoes and the groans continued :O)

 I served a fresh veggie salad with the meal and DH informed me after all was said and done that he'd definitely like to see this summer menu make frequent appearances!! That is indeed high praise!! He's not at all a fussy eater. But when he really likes something, he lets me know it!!

Enjoy!!

Thanks for the recipes, Kay!

This is one that I'll have to have DH try out since he's the griller in this family!

Thank you Kay, I don't do ribs or pork roast often, but I bet this would be good on chops or chicken!     :)    And I love sweet potatoes   :)

I copied the recipe at the time and am planning on it one day this week.. I like the suggestions here that you have for veggies too.  May just do that today.  Thanks.

Did you par-boil the ribs before putting on grill?
