Baby-Back Ribs with Texas Blackjack Sauce and Peach Coleslaw – Father’s Day Grilling Series

As Father's Day approaches, so does the quandary of where to eat. Summerset invites you to dream beyond the restaurants and aspire to more than the bland frozen patties that frequent summer grills. Elevate the day with the Summerset Father's Day Grilling Series and Baby-Back Ribs with Texas Blackjack Sauce and Peach Coleslaw, featuring a relatively simple preparation that Dad will think took hours and hours. 

The sauce uses your favorite sauce as a base and adds a deep richness of flavor by incorporating coffee and brown sugar. The peach coleslaw is refreshing and spicy, perfectly complementing the crunchy sweetness of the rib exterior.

This recipe calls for tenderizing and cooking the ribs by simmering in water for 45 minutes before charring and caramelizing on the grill. The sweet and bold Texas Blackjack Sauce is a mixture of barbecue sauce, brown sugar, instant coffee, and Worcestershire sauce heated over medium heat until dissolved and mixed. The peach coleslaw combines coleslaw dressing and mixes Dijon mustard, sliced peaches, and crushed red pepper. 

Finish the ribs on the grill, basting throughout, allowing the sugars to caramelize for a mouthwatering taste and delightful texture. 

Fathers truly are a treasure, so don’t settle for ordinary on this special day. Besides, you get to partake and enjoy as well…
