Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt
2 full racks baby back ribs (about 3 pounds each), halved
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 small yellow onions, diced (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt
4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 large red Fresno chiles, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup yellow mustard
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock

Steps:

  • For the rub: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, cumin and 1 tablespoon salt.
  • Lay 2 half-racks of ribs flat in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 2 half-racks. Using your hands, coat each rack with the spice rub. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until translucent and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and chiles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar, and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, for 3 minutes. Add the mustard and preserves. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook to allow the flavors to marry, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully pour half the sauce over the ribs. Pour 1/2 cup of the chicken stock into the bottom of each dish. Cover the baking dishes with foil and place into the oven on the middle rack. Bake until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cook the remaining sauce over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan or a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat.
  • Using a pastry brush, glaze the baked ribs with the reduced sauce. Place the ribs meat-side down onto the hot grill and cook until slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the ribs over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Flip one final time, allowing the ribs to cook until perfectly charred, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from the grill and rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve alongside a bowl of any remaining sauce.

  • Make a tangy apricot glaze: Combine apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create a sweet and tangy glaze that complements the ribs perfectly.
  • Slow-cook the ribs: Cooking the ribs low and slow allows the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender while absorbing all the delicious flavors.
  • Glaze the ribs: Brush the ribs with the apricot glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking to caramelize the glaze and add a glossy sheen.
  • Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful ribs.
