@@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.
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.
When I get the mcrib I always get it with extra onions pickles and order a hashbrowns on the side. DO THIS! put a hashbrown on top of the mcrib. It's a layer of crunchy potato goodness. sounds weird but tastes super good.
One of my all-time favorite sandwiches and you did it complete justice. Great job, although I'd love a from-scratch recipe for the bbq sauce - it's the most distinct element to me, besides the general composition. Still, love everything about this!
I came here for a McRib recipe and you delivered it. Thank you. And thank you for using the actual ingredients in the nutrition facts of a McRib. I hate other youtubers making "McRib but better videos."
You are the man! My Grandma absolutely loves the Mcrib. If this round(2022) is truly the last, she's gonna fiip if bring her one from the kitchen next year 😆
Although I probably won’t ever copy many of your recipes. I’m so impressed with the research and work you put into your videos. You are a consummate professional. Anyone who does a “thumbs down” is a hater
I am group 4: Someone I love, loves the McRib (and mourns them when they're gone). And he's going through some stuff right now, so I'm hoping I can surprise him with this. Thank you.
I saw Harry’s video too and your video is much better! Thanks for taking the time to make it as close as possible, not like every other video of the mccrib! Kudos.
Great video Greg!!! I like it when you experiment. I'd never have guessed you were good at working with wood!!! I vote yes to more meat glue videos. I need to get me one of those VacMaster's!!! Cheers brother!
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.
@@KevinWindsor1971 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.
Greg, the commitment to making it as authentic as possible is insane! I absolutely love it, that being said I don’t think I’ll be making a McRib like that over on my channel hahahahaha. Well done bud 👍
that was a lot of dedication for a McRib, i LOVE McDonalds but i highly doubt their version is that complex and thorough, still very impressive to see how passionate and thoughtful you are.
making the actual mcribb sandwich for a group of kids of 80 tonite. not sure if they will want the onion on it though, kids are ages 6 to 9. Thanks for the video, loved your mold, very clever!
Enjoyed the video. Do you have a video on your outdoor grilling set up? I am building a back yard grilling center this coming spring and looking for ideas.
Getting the ground meat to bind together is a secret many people do not understand. Work it, either by hand or in a mixer or food processor with dough attachment. It does not take long to release the colegen and proteins to bind together. Not doing that is the cause of hamburger patties that fall apart as you cook them.
That's what I like about your videos. You put a lot of thought into them. Nice cook. I like the McRib but I'm not one that watches the internet for when they come out.
May I add a 4th category (regarding the McRib & what folks think about it) to the previous 3? It would be (my group) people who have only tried it once just to see what all the shoutin' was about and who since have said "Eh, it is what it is". This is a great video, Greg... One of your BEST!
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!
I loved this video! In Australia we only have the McRib for a little while at the moment, and I like the idea of being able to make these myself any time. With the ribbon - could you keep the ends hanging out through the sides of the mould then use them to lift the "rib" out? Might help make it come out easier and also keep the ridges there. I think it still looked awesome though ^_^ I don't have a vacuum sealer but I have an idea for making the compressions/ridges by using some small plastic tubes and a weight on top. Do you think this would work?
I am in the 4th group "never had a McRib" which may suprise some considering the amount of time i lived and worked in germany where it is always on the menu at micky d's. Schnitzel sandwich, sausages and Frikadelle from schnell imbiss stands with curry ketchup. I live in the UK now but still travel to germany afew times ayear, so in the interest of BBQ i will try some when i next visit. Thanks for an interesting, informative video take care God bless. Dam now i am jonesing for currywurst.
Damn all of your videos are always great and so much fun to watch. Very entertaining and very educational and inspiring. You Da Man! Just love all that you do. Can't wait to see more videos as always. Cheers Brother! A++++ Thumbs UP!!!
If you build your box press like a cake form you can more easily remove the patty without the ribbon. Make the bottom of the box small enough to fit inside the sides. Then, you can remove the patty by simply pushing down on the lid to push the patty out the bottom.
Dextrose = glucose. Dextrose (or glucose) plus fructose = sucrose, or table sugar. You are just using the ribbon, to pull out the rib patty? Don't fold it over. Either let it hang out, or fold it over the upper (rib design) plate. (Put the upper piece in, then fold it over.) I've GOT to try this! steve
We dont have the mcribs in the uk unfortunately. I think they had them for a short while sort of like the holiday burgers. Looks nice though. Love how much effort you put in to make it authentic.
I don't know why people make fun of McDonalds. It is the tastiest, healthiest, most wholesome food in the entire universe. I know this for sure. I just ate 2 Big Macs, and a McRib, and it was just wonderful and and and. OH GOD I'M GONNA PUKE !!!!!!!

Don't use the ribbon, just don't attach the bottom of the box so you can just push it through 👍
Exactly! I was thinking this same thing the day AFTER I did this... Live n learn!

make a slot for the bottom so it can slide in and out
So it’s actually a McShoulder?
Havent watched it yet but if you mean what meat, its actually reconstituted heart proteins.
its a mcbutthole
@@blooflazh7 mcdick ?
Do you think Mac Donald’s uses actual rib?
@@thomaswarren5794no...they use ground shoulder.
Am I the only one who wants to buy an official "Ballistic BBQ McRib Press™"?

Omg he's so precious. He actually made a rib-press device ❤️😂

my fav cooking channel. hands down
Don't beat yourself up over the ribbon! This was a learning process through and through. You had to make your own box for crying out loud. Good job!
Amazing! I like the mold box..very creative. Great job on duplicating that sandwich.
Might as well make and sell ballistic mcrib makers lol
I came here for a McRib recipe and you delivered it. Thank you. And thank you for using the actual ingredients in the nutrition facts of a McRib. I hate other youtubers making "McRib but better videos."
I've never had a mcrib and I doubt I ever will but your enthusiasm is contagious and this video was just so much fun to watch. Thanks!
"hey what you doing with that ribbon and wood"? "Oh just making a McRib". Lol awesome stuff.
Never had a McRib, but dig the woodwork for your skill and imagination.
You are the man! My Grandma absolutely loves the Mcrib. If this round(2022) is truly the last, she's gonna fiip if bring her one from the kitchen next year 😆
My dad loves the McRib. This video will allow me to make his favorite McDonald's item at home. Thank you.
When you put the whole block in the vacuum sealed bag my roommate and I cheered out loud. You are the best!!!
DUDE! That is WAY more work than is required! I can't even believe I just saw this.
Although I probably won’t ever copy many of your recipes. I’m so impressed with the research and work you put into your videos. You are a consummate professional. Anyone who does a “thumbs down” is a hater
you did alot of work and really knocked it out
I am group 4: Someone I love, loves the McRib (and mourns them when they're gone). And he's going through some stuff right now, so I'm hoping I can surprise him with this. Thank you.
I’d like to pre-order my Ballistic McRib box please! You knocked this out of the park brother! Cheers Greg!
Make one. Use the same plastic they use to make cutting boards.
It's a sushi press
That process is some got damn dedication to your followers.
I saw Harry’s video too and your video is much better! Thanks for taking the time to make it as close as possible, not like every other video of the mccrib! Kudos.
Wow Greg fantastic job! As close as you're gonna get to the real thing but a whole lot better!
Extremely cool video Greg ! You are a joy to watch my friend.
I wasn’t quite convinced UNTIL you took it out of the sauce. Then it looked authentic to me haha.
This is the best McRib sandwich copy I've seen 😊👍👍
Greg, your attention to detail is OUTSTANDING! I always enjoy seeing the notification that you're uploaded a new video. Cheers!

That looks just like a McRib. Mouth is watering
I would have sworn it was meat glue too. Great job with this Greg!
Looks right on, always love a McRib

Liked that....just plain fun! I think the McRib is ok...I had one a few years back......Like the vacmaster....wish I could afford one.....thank you!
Thanks for the patty technique.
What a fun video! You have brought back lots of memories. Good stuff!
Nailed it!!! Great job
You are an artist, man!
Although I haven’t eaten McD in quite a long time. Watching a food scientist hash out killer copy cat items, is always entertaining!!!

I have to admit I have never had a McRib but I will try one when they come back because of this video.
Thanks B-BBQ, looking to make my own McRib on the next BBQ event with friends and this was super helpful!
Oh, I love those things! Thank you!🌷🚍
You're BBQ skills never ceases to amaze me! Mad I wasn't there to try out that Mc'Ribs ;)
I gave both videos a thumbs up, you two are great.
I’ll definitely be making a few McRibs all for myself, I really miss them a lot.
Great video Greg, as always!

Such an above and beyond video. I would really love if you'd make a tutorial for your Rib-press as I have no clue. Subscribed!
Cool contrast between you and Herry. Grate video
The best burger at McDonalds imho! Thank you, will try!
Good work my friend, another great video!
Fun video. Looks pretty good. I'll take two.
Looks amazing!!!
Thank you :-) loved both of the videos that you and Harry did would eat any of them.
You went all out on this one lol. Great cook.
I remember when I was a teen I worked at a BBQ named Pulley's BBQ in Marion, IL. Good stuff that was back then.
Looks great Greg, I would have thought for sure they used meat glue. Kudos on the form box and vacuum idea!

Next episode on CSI.. :D Great video!
Wow, very creative Greg. Nice work.
I thought I was obsessed with the McRib but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn I am 😉
You may be my hero, I love that damn sandwich. I don’t have your fancy box but I will be making my own patties now....
Looks great!
great clip greg... great deconstruction.... respect.
Love the channel, and a dark follower of the sandwich. Couldn’t click any faster!!
im trying this!! even the mold! it looks so awesome. im in the "love mcrib" camp. thanks for the great vids as always.
I LOVE the McRib, but IMO it is the sauce that makes it.
Definitely not the high quality "pork"
You should get a medal for making this monstrosity
Love that McRibbon press, maybe leave the ribbon outside the box
Rosemary tea spritz? That's brilliant! I might try this with thyme for my BBQ spritz when smoking brisket or beef ribs for the science of it.
Crazy ! But cool too
Hi Greg! Great video, you have any recipe and how tos for making that bbq sauce? Thanks!
Now I know what to print on my new 3D printer, a "Ballistic BBQ McRib Press".
Very nicely done, thanks for sharing
A McRib is best enjoyed with a 40 oz. of malt liquor.
Ohhhh man you nailed it 👍
OE? or Mickey's?

I've always been intrigued and curious to try the McRib but I don't like McDonalds. so this is a much better way to me personally to make it myself.

Damn Greg, that looks perfect ! Great job buddy! I love the McRib , just leave the pickle off !
For me, its much more about taste than looks. Thumbs up for effort.
you did a exellent job on this video thanks for sharing !!!
