Obtain a side portion of ribs, a dinner roll, and honey butter from Texas Roadhouse.
Break open the dinner roll.
Pull the meat from the rib bones and place it inside the dinner roll to create a sandwich.
Dip the rib sandwich into the honey butter.
Serve and enjoy.
Store leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 4 days; reheat gently in a 300°F oven before assembling a fresh sandwich.
Yes, any quality smoked or BBQ pork ribs work. The honey butter and roll quality matter more than the source.
Fresh-baked rolls (brioche, butter roll, or soft dinner rolls) hold the ribs without falling apart and complement the honey butter.
Yes, warm ribs are easier to handle and eat. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 5–10 minutes or microwave for 1–2 minutes.
Assemble just before eating. Pre-assembled sandwiches will become soggy from the meat juices and honey butter.
2 oz (roughly 4 tablespoons) spread generously on both sides of the roll balances sweetness without overwhelming the ribs.
