How To Make The McRib Sandwich! | The BEST McRib Copycat!

  • This is a video I've been wanting to do for a long time! Make a "REAL" McRib Sandwich. Not just a boneless rack of ribs on a bun, like so many on TH-cam. I actually researched how the McRib is made, then replicated the process, at home! My friend Harry Soo had the same idea, so we collaborated. Check out his video: • McDonalds McRib Clone ... .
    VacMaster Chamber Vac: www.vacmasterfresh.com
    I wanted to make this as close as possible to the real deal, so I delved into the net, reading every article and blog I could find. I also found some footage shot in the plants that make the faux rib patty. I had always believed that there was meat glue (transglutaminase) was used in the process. Turns out I was wrong... So, with the exception of the preservatives McDonald's has added, I present to you my version of the famous McRib Sandwich!
    Using the large die on my meat grinder I ground pork shoulder, which is the meat that McDonald's uses.
    Once I had the grind, I added the four major ingredients:
    Water
    Salt
    Dextrose
    Rosemary extract (homemade)
    To make the rosemary extract, I simply boiled three sprigs of rosemary in two cups of water, until it reduced to one cup. I allowed this to cool and poured it into a spray bottle.
    To form the patty I made a wooden rib mold, which was vacuum sealed and placed in the freezer.
    McDonald's flash freezes the patty during production, which was the main reason I'm certain there is no meat glue. Transgutaminase will not work under a deep freeze.
    The patty was seared on my flattop and then placed in a small pot of BBQ sauce heated to 150ºF.
    I used a blend of store bought sauce. 3 parts Sweet Baby Rays and 1 part Bullseye Barbecue sauce.
    Obviously, it is not necessary to make a mold to recreate you own McRib. You could get similar results by simply shaping the patty by hand.
    I purchased the Hoagie roll at McDonald's while the McRib was still in season. I kept it frozen until I shot this video.

      OK, I just finished the video. One of my weirdest take aways is the realization that the McRib is not as unhealthy as I thought it would be. Pork butt, water, rosemary, etc. I know it's not exactly paleo but I honestly thought the ingredients would be weirder than that.

      @@BallisticBBQ If the texture didn't seem quite right or it was tough, you can keep simmering the thing until it is the texture you want, you can do that with pork shoulder, I make meatballs with burger and pork shoulder and the longer they simmer the more tender they get and the quality isnt lost.

      Troy, you should look into getting a Vacpak-It chamber sealer. It is a clone of the Vacmaster machine Greg uses, but costs about $300 less. I've had mine for about 3 months and use it almost daily.

      I concur. A chamber vacuum sealer is by far the superior product.
      Foodsaver style vac sealers tend to leak causing freezer burn, they suck liquid out of the bag and the cost of the bags bags often eat up any savings from the bulk purchase.

    Great video in that it shows every step needed to make an almost exact duplicate of the original. As a practical matter, few will want to go through all that trouble. I suspect you could get course ground pork from the store, mix in the dextrose and some ground rosemary, make a basic rectangle shape and cook it. The result would not be visually the same, but the flavor should be good. Still, kudos for really doing it all right!
