EASY 3-2-1 BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Set up your smoker for indirect cooking. Set it up so your ribs will not be placed directly above the embers or fire of your BBQ smoker. Add your choice of hardwood to coals, e.g. apple wood. Allow the smoker to heat up to our target temperature of 225°F.
• Remove the membrane from the back side of the ribs
• Apply BBQ rub to both sides of the ribs. Work into every area of the ribs that you can. Apply generously.
• With your smoke fully heated up and at 225°F, transfer the ribs to the smoker in the indirect zone. Close the lid and leave to smoke for 3 hours.
• Transfer ribs to aluminum foil placed upon cooking surface. Create a pouch with the ribs in. Apply the brown sugar across the top side of the ribs, and place the bits of butter on top. Sprinkle the apple juice/cider over. Tightly fold and crimp the aluminum foil to create an airtight pouch.
• Transfer rib pouch back to the smoker and continue to cook at 225°F. Let the ribs cook for a further 2 hours.
• Remove the rib pouch from the grill and transfer to cooking surface. Carefully open pouch and allow steam to escape. Remove ribs and discard pouch and liquid contents.
• Use a brush to apply BBQ sauce liberally across the ribs, on both sides. Close lid and continue to smoke at 225°F for a final hour, or until BBQ sauce has set.

BAKED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
• Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
• Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
• While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

Steps:

• Begin by removing the membrane on the back of the ribs
• Liberally season both sides of the ribs using the sweet rub, starting with the bone side.
• Prepare your smoker for indirect smoking. Target temperature is between 180-200 with thin blue smoke. Place the seasoned ribs on the smoker and close the lid. Leave them to smoke for 3 hours.
• Tear off a large piece of aluminum foil and place it on a large working surface. Transfer the ribs to the foil bone side up so the bones don't tear through the foil. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, top with the butter cut into small pads, and then pour over the apple cider.
• Tightly crimp the foil together to create an airtight seal. Return to the grill and increase your cooking temperature to as close to 225 degrees as you can get it. Let the ribs braise for 2 hours in the foil.
• Carefully remove the ribs from the grill and place on a large working surface. Open the foil package (be careful of hot steam) and use tongs to remove the ribs and place them back on the grill, bone side down. Discard the foil and excess cooking liquid,
• Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce, close the lid of your grill and cook at 225 degrees for an additional hour until the ribs are done to your desired tenderness and the sauce is sticky and set.

321 RIBS RECIPE (SIMPLE & SMOKED) - TRAEGER®

Steps:

• If your butcher has not already done so, remove the thin silverskin membrane from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife or a screwdriver underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.
• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, 1/4 cup of apple juice (reserve the rest) and the Worcestershire sauce. Spread the mixture thinly on both sides of the ribs and season with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.
• When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Smoke the ribs, meat-side up for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160℉.
• After the ribs have smoked for 3 hours, transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet and increase the grill temperature to 225℉.
• Tear off four long sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Top with a rack of ribs and pull up the sides to keep the liquid enclosed. Sprinkle half the brown sugar on the rack, then top with half the honey and half the remaining apple juice. Use a bit more apple juice if you want more tender ribs. Lay another piece of foil on top and tightly crimp the edges so there is no leakage. Repeat with the remaining rack of ribs.
• Return the foiled ribs to the grill and cook for an additional 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 205℉.
• Carefully remove the foil from the ribs and brush the ribs on both sides with Traeger 'Que Sauce. Discard the foil. Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grate and continue to grill until the sauce tightens, 30 to 60 minutes more.
• Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
