Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup apple cider vinegar
4 cups water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
10 garlic cloves, smashed
3 pounds baby back ribs, silver skin removed, racks cut in 1/2
1/2 bottle beer
1 yellow onion, peeled and quartered
BBQ sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cups raspberries, frozen
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
3 tablespoons molasses

Steps:

  • Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to high.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large resealable bag or nonreactive container; combine the vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon of the salt and 1 tablespoon of the pepper, 4 of the garlic cloves and the ribs. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes only.
  • Remove the ribs from the brine and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper. Sear the ribs on an indoor grill or outdoor if available, until lightly browned.
  • In a large roasting pan, fitted with a rack, arrange the ribs on the rack and pour in half of the beer. Drink or discard the remaining beer. Add the onion and remaining garlic cloves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and put into the hot oven. Reduce the heat to 300 and roast for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the foil and baste the ribs with the BBQ Sauce. Roast for 7 minutes, then turn the ribs over, baste again and roast for another 7 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven to a cutting board and slice between the ribs. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and serrano and cook until the onion is translucent. Stir in the garlic and the ginger and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, being cautious not to burn the mixture. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and then add the raspberries, jam and molasses. Stir to combine, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender, then strain through a sieve into a bowl or jar, to remove the seeds, pushing the sauce through as much as possible. Can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Dry Rubbed Ribs with Vinegar BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 15h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup pimenton
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup celery salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated garlic
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons whole cumin, toasted and ground
2 tablespoons whole coriander, toasted and ground
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
2 racks pork spareribs
1 to 2 beers (plus more for drinking, if desired)
2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons Creole mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a small jar or bowl.
  • Coat the ribs generously with the rub and refrigerate it for at least 12 hours. It will be better if refrigerated for 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Arrange the ribs on a sheet pan. Pour 1 beer into the bottom of the pan and cover the pan with foil, trying not to have the foil touch the meat. Put the ribs in the preheated oven and roast for 2 hours. Check the ribs after 1 hour and turn them over. Add more beer, if needed. Rotate the pan.
  • After 2 hours, remove the foil and roast for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • Sauce: (This can be done while the ribs are roasting.)
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. The sauce will not be thick but it should be a homogeneous mixture and very well flavored. Turn off the heat and let cool.
  • Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.
  • Arrange the ribs, meat side down, on the grill and grill until they start to get a little brown and charred, then brush with the sauce. Turn the ribs over, brush with the sauce and grill for 4 to 5 minutes. Brush with the sauce and again turn the ribs over. Grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. At this point the ribs should be nicely browned and really well flavored. Remove them from the grill to a cutting board. Cut the ribs apart and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with lots of napkins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for meaty ribs with a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or bony.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Make the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the ribs, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Let the ribs rest: After rubbing the ribs with the dry rub, let them rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat and develop flavor.
  • Cook the ribs: Place the ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the ribs in a preheated oven at 300°F for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  • Make the apple cider vinegar sauce: While the ribs are cooking, make the apple cider vinegar sauce. Combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Glaze the ribs: Remove the ribs from the oven and brush them with the apple cider vinegar sauce. Return the ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Apple cider vinegar ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender and juicy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the apple cider vinegar. The sauce is rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. These ribs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
