And heavy on the BBQ Sauce.
Because what are ribs without tons of sauce? Not messy enough, that’s what.
Ok, but let’s talk about ribs for a second. Growing up I almost never ate them. It wasn’t that I did not like them. I think it was more that I hated how messy they always were. To be honest, I still do. I am weird and I hate eating messy food and having messy hands. I don’t really know why it bothers me so much, but it does.
However, I am learning to get over it because ribs are fun and they scream summer and we all know how much I am into summer right now.
Now let’s talk about THESE ribs. I know that peanut butter and ribs together seems weird and maybe even gross to a few of you, but please hear me out. First off, I just need to say that these ribs are awesome. Very different, yes, but sometimes the traditional BBQ ribs can get old, barbecue after barbecue, you know? So that is when these ribs come into play.
I first thought of the idea after looking back at these peanut butter burgers I made from my favorite restaurant back In Rocky River, Ohio, Bearden’s. Peanut butter and meat go really well together, so why not try it on some ribs? I was pretty excited about the idea and it has been developing and changing slightly over the last couple weeks. I finally found some ribs that looked good and I went for it….and added some Thai flavors because it just seemed right.
It was. Really, really right.
I know ribs may seem a little intimidating, but I think the secret is cooking them long and slow and then grilling them before eating. And lots of sauce. We love sauce over here.
No but really, ribs are pretty simple. They take a while, but they are simple. Just marinate, bake and grill. The BBQ sauce only requires one bowl and while the slaw does have a lot of ingredients you really just have to toss them all together. No big deal.
AND everything can be prepped in advance making them perfect for summer entertaining. You can even cook the ribs fully through and then just grill them before you are ready to eat, making things a little less hectic come dinner time.
Oh and did I mention that they are extra sticky? Because they are, and wow, it is so good. It’s all in the sauce.

Better grab some napkins…things are gonna get messy.
This looks and sounds ummmmazing!
I can taste the spicy-peanut butter flavor just by looking at these and my mouth is seriously watering! I was never into ribs when I was younger either, but I sure am now. These look amazing!
This looks absolutely delicious!! I love this twist in the classic rib!
I can just imagine the perfect bite with a little bit of chili pepper, a little bit of peanut, a squeeze of lime, and a whole lot of sauce. Perfection!!
ummmmmm that looks DELICIOUS!
This sauce is amazing! I love the Asian flare and I love ribs, even though they are seriously messy!
Tieghan, you have me convinced: I must get a grill this summer (how I’ve gone this long without one is a complete mystery)–just so I can make these freaky good looking ribs! I never had ribs as a kids (same messy food aversion, unless it was cheesy pizza) but have fully been converted to them as an adult. Can’t wait to try these!
I don’t care that it’s 6:30 am, I could eat these for breakfast!
These ribs sound so good!
YUM…I don’t know which I want first those ribs or that slaw…I could eat that whole bowl of slaw myself..and I’m with you on both counts love saucy hate messy hands. I’m making these for fathers day to win over all those dads..No girly food at the fathers day bbq.
hahaha I am the opposite cause I love eating messy food and having messy hands 😉 I’ve never tried rib with peanut butter, but I love Thai flavours. I guess it tastes really DELICIOUS. I love all of your recipes and your pictures are always stunning!
These look so good. The messier the better. My husband loves ribs so we will be making these pronto
This looks amazing!!!!! And that slaw looks so fresh and tasty, rather than the usual mayo soaked one!

I don’t want them until I crave them. Does that make sense? about 80% of the time i’ll order something else or cook something else but then randomly every now and then i get a craving and i have to have ribs like NOW.
These look fantastic!
I’ve never been a huge rib eater either…until recently.
Thai flavours are the best, and I totally didnt think peanut butter sounded weird with them…these sound AHMAYZING. And extra sticky means extra yummy. Pinned!
