SPICY BABY BACK RIBS

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h15m

Yield 15 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cans pop, such as Dr. Pepper
2 cups barbecue sauce
2 cups brown sugar
Two 5-ounce cans chipotle peppers in adobo
2/3 cup brown mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
6 cloves garlic, minced
6 racks pork baby back ribs

Steps:

  • To prepare the marinade, add the pop, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, chipotles, mustard, vinegar and garlic to a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until reduced and thick, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Divide into 2 containers and refrigerate one container for later.
  • Brush the remaining container of the marinade all over the ribs on both sides. Wrap each strip of ribs individually in foil and refrigerate for 8 hours to marinate.
  • When you're ready to cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Place the ribs, still covered in foil, onto baking sheets and cook for 2 hours. Increase the temperature to 300 degrees F. Open the foil packages and use the other container of marinade to brush another generous layer all over the ribs. Return the ribs to the oven with their foil packages still open and continue cooking for another 30 to 40 minutes, brushing on another layer of marinade as they cook.
  • Remove the ribs when they're fork-tender (keep cooking until they are). Slice and serve!

BABY BACK RIBS WITH SPICY PEACH BBQ SAUCE



Baby Back Ribs with Spicy Peach BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 4h20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 racks pork baby back ribs (about 5 pounds total), membrane removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
One 3-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
One 10-ounce bag frozen peaches, thawed
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon Calabrian chili paste

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt and paprika. Place the ribs on 2 sheets of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around them and seal. Rub the ribs evenly on all sides with the sugar mixture. Bring the foil up and around the ribs and crimp closed. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until tender but not falling apart, about 3 1/2 hours. Allow to cool slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the onions are soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the peaches and stir to coat with the flavors. Add the vinegar, sugar, salt and Calabrian chili and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Add any dripping that may have accumulated on the baking sheet from the pork. Simmer until the peaches are very soft, about 30 minutes. Using an immersion blender, puree the sauce until it is as smooth or as chunky as you like.
  • Preheat the broiler to high heat. Spoon one-quarter of the sauce all over the ribs. Broil for 4 minutes. Remove and repeat the process another 2 times, until the sauce is thick, sticky and golden brown. Serve with more sauce on the side if desired.

GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS WITH SPICY PEANUT SHAKE



Grilled Baby Back Ribs With Spicy Peanut Shake image

Marinating, it's said, not only adds flavor and moisture that will stay with the food through the rigors of the grilling process, but also tenderizes whatever you're about to put over the coals. There's only one problem with this comforting culinary scenario: It's mostly not true. These ribs are grilled naked, save for some salt and pepper. Afterward, they are cut into individual ribs and tossed with hoisin sauce, soy sauce, orange juice and ginger and sprinkled with a spicy peanut shake. You get the ease of last-minute preparation and brighter, clearer, more direct flavors and you can show off a bit for your guest as you mix and toss at the last minute.

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 50m

Yield 6 appetizer servings, 3 to 4 entree servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup dry-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 racks of baby back ribs, about 2 1/4 pounds each
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
2 tablespoons minced ginger
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make the shake: Combine the peanuts, sesame oil and chile powder in a small bowl and mix well, then put in a sauté pan over medium-low heat and toast, tossing occasionally, until light brown and very fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. When the mixture has cooled to room temperature, stir in the scallions and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium low (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for about 7 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium low.)
  • Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt and pepper, put them on the grill directly over the coals, and cook until a peek inside shows that the meat no longer has any pink at the center, about 10 to 12 minutes per side.
  • While the ribs are grilling, prepare all the remaining ingredients but keep in separate containers.
  • Take the racks of ribs off the grill, cut them into individual ribs, and put them in a large bowl. Add the hoisin, soy, orange juice and ginger one after another and toss with spirit. Lay the ribs out on a platter, sprinkle with the spicy peanut shake and serve.

THAI-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS



Thai-Style Baby Back Ribs image

Pork ribs are often found under layers and layers of sauce and seasoning. In this recipe, stripped down to tropical-climate easiness, the ribs are grilled after being sprinkled generously with salt and pepper, not marinated or spice-rubbed. The infusing of the flavors - fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, jalapeños, ginger, garlic and lemon grass - comes after the cooking is done. It's pretty neat how good that tastes. The recipe makes three or four entrée servings, but it also makes a good appetizer for six to eight.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 entrée servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 racks of baby back ribs, about three to three and a half pounds total
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons minced jalapeños or other fresh chilies of your choice
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh lemon grass

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-low (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 7 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-low.)
  • Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt and pepper, place them on the grill directly over the coals, and cook until a peek inside shows that the meat no longer has any pink at the center, about 10 to 12 minutes per side.
  • When the rib racks come off the grill, cut them into individual ribs and place in a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients, toss to coat, season with more salt and pepper if needed, and serve.

Time 10h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 pounds pork baby back ribs
1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Tear off 4 pieces of aluminum foil big enough to enclose each portion of ribs. Spray each piece of foil with vegetable cooking spray. Brush the ribs liberally with barbeque sauce and place each portion in its own piece of foil. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Bake ribs wrapped tightly in the foil at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 2 1/2 hours. Remove from foil and add more sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality baby back ribs for the best results. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs to cook more evenly and will also make them more tender.
  • Use a dry rub to season the ribs before cooking. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow for the best results. This will help to tenderize the ribs and will also allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate the meat.
  • Baste the ribs with a sauce or glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help to keep the ribs moist and will also add additional flavor.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Baby back ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make baby back ribs at home that are just as good as anything you would find in a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a special meal to impress your friends and family, give baby back ribs a try. You won't be disappointed!
