Make tender Milwaukee-style BBQ Ribs with a Wisconsin twist using the Arteflame grill. Juicy, caramelized perfection with no oven or pots needed.
Introduction
Milwaukee-Style BBQ Ribs get a delicious Wisconsin twist on the Arteflame grill. Using reverse searing, we lock in juices with a 1000°F sear on the center grill grate, then bring the ribs to tender, barbecue perfection on the flat griddle cooktop. The Arteflame grill’s unique design helps you achieve restaurant-quality results right in your backyard without using an oven or pans. Let’s bring big Midwest flavor to your grill!
Ingredients
2 full racks of St. Louis-style pork ribs
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup Wisconsin-style BBQ sauce (or your favorite thick BBQ sauce)
Extra butter for flat top cooking
Vegetable oil (for lighting the grill)
3 paper napkins (for lighting the fire)
Firewood
The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.
Pour vegetable oil on 3 paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill base.
Stack firewood above the napkins and light them with a match or lighter.
Allow the fire to build to cooking temperature (about 20 minutes).
Step 2: Prepare the ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness and flavor penetration.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Rub this dry spice mix generously over both sides of the ribs.
Step 3: Reverse sear the ribs
Once the center grate reaches 1000°F, place ribs meat side down on the grill grate just for 1–2 minutes to create a sear and lock in juices.
Flip and sear the bone side briefly before transferring to the outer flat cooktop griddle.
Step 4: Slow cook on the flat top
Position the ribs bone side down closer to the outer rim of the cooktop where the temperature is medium-low.
Baste ribs occasionally with a mix of apple cider vinegar, butter, and apple juice using a basting brush.
Continue to cook on flat top griddle for 2.5–3 hours, turning and basting every 30 minutes.
Step 5: Brush with sauce and caramelize
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush ribs generously with your Wisconsin-style BBQ sauce.
Move them slightly closer to the center to allow the sauce to caramelize and form a beautiful crust without burning.
Step 6: Rest and serve
Remove ribs from grill when internal temperature hits 195°F (they will rise to about 210°F while resting).
Let them rest 15 minutes before slicing for optimal juiciness.
1,000°F Sear for Steakhouse-Quality Perfection
Only The Arteflame’s center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, delivering the intense heat needed to sear steaks to perfection while keeping the inside juicy and as rare as you like it.
Use butter for basting and cooking instead of oil for a richer flavor.
Always rest your meat before slicing to keep juices intact.
Adjust cooking zones by sliding ribs between inner and outer flat top zones for perfect doneness.
For extra smoke flavor, add wood chunks or chips to the firewood pile.
Keep a spray bottle of apple juice nearby to increase moisture if needed.
