CHEF JOHN'S COPYCAT MCRIB® SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix salt, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and cayenne together for the rub.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season both sides generously with some of the rub. Reserve remaining rub for another use. Cover top with parchment paper and wrap foil over the edges. Cover the whole baking sheet with another large sheet of foil, sealing in the sides.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
• Unwrap ribs and let cool briefly until safe to handle. Pull out the bones, stuffing any loose pieces of meat back into the holes and checking carefully for bone fragments. Wrap ribs back up and refrigerate until cold, 8 hours to overnight.
• Cut each rack in half. Brush both sides generously with barbecue sauce.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill ribs until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from grill and brush with more barbecue sauce.
• Drizzle more barbecue sauce onto each roll. Sandwich each rib section between a roll and top with coleslaw.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, salt, cumin, white pepper, light brown sugar, chili powder, and ground coffee and set aside.
• Remove the membrane from the ribs with a sharp knife, massage mustard onto meat and add the seasoning blend. Wrap tightly and place in refrigerator for at least 6 hours to marinate.
• Prepare the Big Green Egg by placing a small handful of soaked cherry wood chips and organic charcoal in the bottom of the EGG and light it with an EGG fire starter.
• Place the convEGGtor with the legs facing up and add a medium-sized aluminum pan halfway full of 1 cup water and ½ cup apple vinegar. Add the metal grate and the meat then close the egg and open the top vent 1/4 of an inch and adjust the bottom vent so that a little over a 1/2 inch is exposed.
• Watch your EGG for about an hour so that it has time to regulate without getting the ribs too hot.
• Let the ribs cook for about 4 hours then brush them with 1/2 cup of bbq sauce, distributed evenly between the two sides, and crank up the heat to cook the sauce for a few minutes. Remove from heat, tent with tinfoil, and let the ribs rest for 30 minutes.
• Remove the rib meat from a few ribs, about ⅔ a cup or more, and toss with 1 to 2 tbsp barbecue sauce.
• Add the pulled meat to the Cobblestone Bread Co. Spud Dog Bun and top with chopped white onion and a dill pickle spear.

COPYCAT MCRIB SANDWICH RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preparation To make the patties: Place ingredients for the patty mixture into a food processor and process until mostly smooth, about 1 minute. Line a sheetpan with parchment paper and spray lightly with oil spray. Divide patty mixture into 4 equal portions and place onto parchment, spaced apart. Shape each portion into a flat rectangle about 6 ½ x 3 ½ inches. Use a chopstick or the handle of a table knife to make 5 crosswise impressions in each patty, forming 'ribs'. Press down firmly, without going all the way through the patty. Place sheetpan in freezer for 2-3 hours until patties are frozen solid. (Do ahead: Patties can remain frozen for up to 1 month, tightly wrapped.) To cook the patties: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 or 2 frozen patties rib-side-down and cook 4 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn over and cook another 3 minutes to brown the other side. Repeat until all patties are browned. Transfer to sheetpan and generously coat with bbq sauce on both sides. Cook in oven about 6 minutes, until sauce is bubbly and thickened. To assemble: While patties are in oven, toast the inside of the buns in the same skillet the patties cooked in. Remove patties from oven and place one patty in each bun. Top patties with sliced pickles and onions, close the top of the bun and enjoy.
