"More, please!" is what I hear when I serve these zippy, finger-licking ribs to family or guests. The first time my husband and I tried them, we pronounced them the best ever. The recipe has its roots in the Calgary Stampede, an annual Western culture festival and exhibition in our province. -Marian Misik, Sherwood Park, Alberta

Big John's Calgary Stampede Flap-Jacks image

This tasty(if unhealthy)recipe is one I've used during Stampede Breakfasts for years. These are real "stick to the ribs" western flap-jacks that will wreck any diet in seconds. I've always had a large electric or very large gas griddle to use, but one that will cook 4 at a time will do as well. Can be eaten with your hands, but not with syrup!!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are the most popular choices for making Calgary Stampede ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are meatier and have more flavor.
  • Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to make them more tender. Season the ribs liberally with your favorite rub or marinade. Let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • Smoke the Ribs: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Smoke the ribs for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through. Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce or a mixture of your favorite spices during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Grill the Ribs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the ribs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are charred and slightly caramelized. Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce or a mixture of your favorite spices during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Serve the Ribs: Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.
