Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with Tuscinstyle ribs.

00:08

That's right. I'm going to show you my take on roasted Janna. And forget about going low and slow. All right, these incredibly delicious grilled ribs are done hot and fast.

pestl until they're coarsely ground and look something like this. At which point, we'll toss in a nice big pinch of fresh rosemary. And we will bash those needles for a few seconds, just until they're bruised and that fragrant oil has been activated and it's mingled with that crushed fennel.

00:54

And once that's happened, we will finish up with some kosher salt, some freshly ground black pepper, some chili flakes, as well as some garlic powder, and then we'll grab

And I'm going to be using this rack of St. Louis style ribs, although baby back ribs will work. And what we'll do is flip that over. And we'll take a knife and we'll feel between the bones so we know we're cutting through meat. And we will cut these up. Slice in between each bone.

01:30

And yes, you really should feel before each cut. Right. Right here. I didn't.
