BACKYARD BABY BACK RIBS
Steps:
- Place each rib rack on a sheet of extra-wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil. (The foil should be 4 inches longer than the ribs on either end.) Season racks liberally with kosher salt and sprinkle each rack with 3 tablespoons of the rub. Turn the ribs, meat side down, and tightly seal each foil pouch. Place on a half sheet pan and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Combine the orange juice and margarita mix in a liquid measuring cup. Open 1 end of each pouch and evenly divide the liquid between the 2 pouches. Reseal the pouches and place the sheet pan in the oven for 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully open 1 end of each pouch and pour the braising liquid into a heatproof measuring cup. Reseal the pouches and place them and the measuring cup of liquid into the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
- The fat in the braising liquid will have solidified on the top and can be removed at this time. Transfer the liquid to a small saucepan and add the honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, espresso powder and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine. Set over medium high heat and reduce to a glaze, approximately 10 minutes.
- Set a gas grill to medium-high and allow to heat for 10 minutes. Cut each slab in half and place them on the grill, flesh side down, close the lid and decrease the heat to medium. Leave alone for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 minutes on each side 1 more time or until each rib has a nice char. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board. and cut into 2 rib portions, using kitchen shears. Add the ribs and half the glaze to a large serving bowl and toss to thoroughly coat. Serve the remaining glaze on the side.
- Place all of the ingredients in an airtight container and shake to combine. Store for up to 3 months.
- Yield: about 2 1/2 cups

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season ribs with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stack slabs on a double layer of aluminum foil; wrap tightly. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until meat is fork-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, make barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, cayenne, and desired variation (see below). Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Carefully remove ribs from foil, pouring off any accumulated liquid. Brush ribs generously with sauce; grill until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with extra sauce, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Look for spare ribs that are meaty and have good marbling.
- Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
- Use a good rub: A good rub will help to flavor the ribs and create a crispy crust.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help to tenderize the ribs and make them fall off the bone.
- Glaze the ribs: A glaze will help to add flavor and shine to the ribs.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the ribs to reabsorb some of the juices and become more tender.
Conclusion:
Backyard barbecue spareribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing ribs!
