Copycat McRib Sandwich Recipe

Steps

1. 1Prep. Slice the rib slab into individual bones, and carefully run a sharp knife along the bones to remove the meat trying not to hack off any cartilage. Then chop the meat into 1/2" (1.3 cm) chunks.
2. 2Cook. Reheat the meat in a pan with a little barbecue sauce, or, my preference, in the microwave, without sauce.
3. 3Either chop the onion and serve it raw on the sandwich, or can cook it. You can just lightly cook it in some butter in a pan or grill it, or you can slowly caramelize it. Caramelizing it makes the onion into a sweet relish that obviates the need for sauce.
4. 4Toast the bun under the broiler to make it crunchy. I think this is an important step.
5. 5Assemble the sandwich with a heaping scoop of chopped meat and 1 or 2 tablespoons of sauce on top if you must. Then mount the onions and pickles.
6. 6Serve. Immediately serve the sandwiches with sweet potato steak fries and slaw.
