Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 slabs pork loin back ribs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika
1/3 cup garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup apple juice per slab
1/2 cup grape juice per slab
3/4 cup First Stage rub
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup Big Bob Gibson Championship Red Sauce or your favorite red sauce
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Raw Preparation: Place slab of ribs bone side down on table. Slide knife under the membrane and against the end bone to separate the 2. With a dry paper towel, grasp the edge of the thin membrane and pull. The entire membrane should separate from the rib.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Combine First Stage rub and mix well. Generously apply rub onto the front and back sides of ribs. Gently pat to ensure that rub will adhere. Place ribs meat-side up on a broiler pan and bake for 2 1/4 hours.
  • Remove ribs from oven. Place each rib meat-side down on its own doubled aluminum foil square. Foil should be large enough to completely wrap rib. Mix the Second Stage juices. Pour 1 cup of liquid over each rib. At the same time wrap and seal each rib tight. Return to the oven for 1 hour.
  • Remove wrapped ribs from oven. Remove from foil and apply a medium coat of the Third Stage rub to the meat-side of the ribs. Place uncovered in the oven meat-side up for 30 minutes.
  • Remove ribs from oven and increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Brush finishing glaze on both sides of ribs. Place ribs in oven for 10 minutes, or until sauce caramelizes.

FOOLPROOF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Foolproof Ribs with Barbecue Sauce image

Ina Garten's secret to perfect grilled ribs: Cook them in the oven first! "There are two great benefits of this method. First, instead of fussing with the heat of the coals, all I have to do is put the ribs in the oven, set a timer and forget about them. Second (and even better): I can make them ahead! Early in the day, I'll roast the ribs, and just before serving, I'll fire up the grill and barbecue them. All the fun of cooking outdoors and I never need to call 911!"

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds Danish baby back ribs (4 racks) or St. Louis ribs (2 racks)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Barbecue Sauce (recipe follows)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 cup (10 ounces) tomato paste
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup (8 ounces) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
  • About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.

BARBECUE RIBS

This recipe is easier than it sounds. I usually cook the ribs the day before and grill them for a quick dinner the next night. FYI: the sauce is much better after it is cooked. It is not a dipping sauce.

OVEN BAKED BAR-B-QUED RIBS



Oven Baked Bar-B-Qued Ribs image

Very easy recipe since you can use your favorite bottled sauce. This is a Pampered Chef recipe that I "tweaked" to our liking. I use the PC deep dish baker with the baking bowl as the cover. But I'm sure that a covered roasting pan or tightly covered metal baking pan would work fine.

Provided by NC Gal

Categories     Pork

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 lbs pork spareribs
1 (12 ounce) can beer (warm)
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Cut ribs into serving size pieces (2 to 3 ribs).
  • Place ribs in 9x13-inch pan and pour beer over top.
  • Cover tightly and bake 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Remove ribs from oven and transfer to a platter.
  • Drain grease and beer from pan.
  • Place ribs back in pan and coat with sauce (as little or as much as you like) cover again tightly.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 250°F.
  • Bake additional 45 minutes.
  • After cooking at a high temperature you may think that you have burned up your ribs, but after baking again at low temp with the sauce you will see how tender and juicy they turn out to be!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs, with good marbling for extra flavor and tenderness.
  • Properly prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender meat. Additionally, consider trimming excess fat to promote even cooking.
  • Use a flavorful rub: Combine spices, herbs, and seasonings to create a flavorful rub that will enhance the taste of the ribs. Common ingredients include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Low and slow cooking: Cook the ribs at a low temperature (225-250°F) for an extended period (4-6 hours) to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
  • Add moisture during cooking: Spray or brush the ribs with apple cider vinegar, beer, or a mixture of your choice to keep them moist and prevent drying.
  • Glaze the ribs: Apply a glaze made from BBQ sauce, honey, and spices during the last 30-60 minutes of cooking to add a glossy finish and extra flavor.
  • Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving, covered in foil, to redistribute the juices and enhance the flavor.

Conclusion:

Mastering the art of cooking delicious and tender BBQ ribs requires patience, attention to detail, and the right techniques. By following these tips, you can create mouthwatering ribs that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different rubs, glazes, and cooking methods to discover your perfect BBQ rib recipe. Whether you prefer baby back ribs or spare ribs, cooked in a smoker, oven, or on the grill, the key is to let the flavors develop slowly and evenly. So fire up your grill or smoker, prepare your favorite rub, and get ready to indulge in a classic American barbecue experience.
