About Texas Roadhouse Full Slab Ribs

The full slab is the best pure value on the Texas Roadhouse ribs menu: a complete rack of St. Louis-style pork ribs, slow cooked, grill finished and glazed, for $24.99 with two sides. Against the $18.99 half slab, six extra dollars buys a second half rack, which is why regulars rarely order small.

A full slab carries about 1,450 calories, so it is either one heroic dinner or tonight plus tomorrow lunch. The ribs reheat better than almost anything else on the menu, low oven, wrapped in foil, ten minutes. Order the full, eat the half, thank yourself at noon.

  1. 1Peel the membrane, rub the rack, and smoke at 225°F with hickory for 3 hours, bone side down. · 180 min
  2. 2Wrap in foil with butter and honey, meat side down, and cook 2 more hours. · 120 minTip: The wrap stage is where fall-off-the-bone happens. Do not shortcut it.

Pro Tips

  • 225°F steady beats any fancy technique. Chase temperature, not smoke clouds.
  • Bend test: the rack cracks at the surface when lifted with tongs, it is done.
  • Sauce only in the last stage; sugar burns over hours of smoke.

Variations

Gas Grill Version

Indirect heat with a foil pouch of wood chips over the lit burner, same stages and times.

Dry Style

Skip the glaze, double the rub, serve sauce on the side, Memphis style.

Serving Ideas

  • Baked potato, corn and a stack of napkins.
  • Slice into 2-bone sections for a party platter.
  • Leftover rib meat makes outrageous BBQ sandwiches.
