McRib Homemade and Easy! | The BEST McRib Copycat!

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.

Don't use the ribbon, just don't attach the bottom of the box so you can just push it through 👍

[MiaCulpa]

DUDE! That is WAY more work than is required! I can't even believe I just saw this.

[BabyBackManiac]

Am I the only one who wants to buy an official "Ballistic BBQ McRib Press™"?

[stacep]

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

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!

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.

[ShaizaShamim]

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!

[CHADnFREUD]

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 😆

[MountainHobbler]

"hey what you doing with that ribbon and wood"? "Oh just making a McRib". Lol awesome stuff.

[sandman]

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.

[Sethduloongo]

When you put the whole block in the vacuum sealed bag my roommate and I cheered out loud. You are the best!!!

[LeprechaunTV]

Amazing! I like the mold box..very creative. Great job on duplicating that sandwich.

[timetravellist]

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."

[CookingWithCJ]

I’d like to pre-order my Ballistic McRib box please! You knocked this out of the park brother! Cheers Greg!

[ThePuttytang]

Might as well make and sell ballistic mcrib makers lol

[RockLegend]

My dad loves the McRib. This video will allow me to make his favorite McDonald's item at home. Thank you.

[tylerhainsworth]

Greg, your attention to detail is OUTSTANDING! I always enjoy seeing the notification that you're uploaded a new video. Cheers!

[megrimlockisking]

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.

[TheWolfePit]

Wow Greg fantastic job! As close as you're gonna get to the real thing but a whole lot better!

[MarkSD]

Never had a McRib, but dig the woodwork for your skill and imagination.
