4th of July BBQ Grilling Guide

The 4th of July is the perfect occasion to gather with family and friends, celebrating freedom and good times with our delicious BBQ Grilling Guide. At Marble Hills Ranch, we believe in making every meal memorable, and our Pork Baby Back Ribs, New York Strip Steaks, and Signature Blend Burgers are perfect for an unforgettable Independence Day feast. 

Thawing Process for All Meats

• Refrigerator Thawing: Place your meat in the refrigerator for 24 hours to thaw gradually.
• Cold Water Thawing (Faster): Submerge the meat in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. This process typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the cut and weight.

BBQ Pork Baby Back Ribs

Set your grill to medium heat. Pat the ribs with your favorite dry rub, like smoked paprika, brown sugar, or garlic powder; generously season with salt and pepper. Place the ribs on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 2-3 hours, turning occasionally. In the last 30 minutes, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce for a rich, caramelized finish.

Grilled New York Strip Steaks

Preheat your grill to high heat. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the steaks on the grill for 3-4 minutes per side for rare, 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, 6-7 minutes for medium, 8-9 minutes for medium-well, or 10-11 minutes per side for well-done. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. 

Signature Blend Burgers

Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat and seasoning with salt and pepper. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side. Toast the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, then top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, your favorite condiments, and, why not, our Mac and Cheese for an extra delicious twist!
