What makes it different
What the trim means
A St. Louis cut is a spare rib with the breastbone, the cartilage and the skirt taken off, leaving a flat rectangle. It cooks evenly because it is the same thickness end to end.
Not the same as our Dino Ribs
Our pork dino ribs come from the same section but are deliberately left untrimmed with the belly still on, and sold one bone at a time. These are the tidy version of that.
What the breed changes
There is more fat between the bones than you are used to. That buys you a longer cook without drying — but it also means you want the heat lower, not higher.
Mangalitsa fat renders at a lower temperature than commodity pork fat does. Run these cooler than your usual rib recipe — 250°F rather than 275°F — or the fat is gone before the meat is ready.
FROM THE FARM
We raise Mangalitsa here in Monticello, Kentucky, and have every animal cut at a USDA-inspected plant down the road. They grow slower than a commodity hog and they put that time into fat rather than lean, which is the whole point of the breed.
How to cook them
1
Pull the membrane off the bone side first. A paper towel gives you the grip to get it started.
2
Rub them and put them straight on at 250°F. There is no need to let a rub sit on ribs — it works on contact.
3
About three hours uncovered, then wrap with a splash of liquid and keep going. Pull at 195 to 203°F, or when a bone twists free.
4
If you are saucing them, do it in the last fifteen minutes with the wrap open. Sugar burns long before the ribs are done.
What you're getting
One rack of Mangalitsa ribs, trimmed St. Louis style.
Trimmed St. Louis style — flat, square, and the same thickness end to end.
Mangalitsa raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
Weights are averages. Every package is cut by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
