Simple BBQ Ribs image

Country-style ribs are cut from the loin, one of the leanest areas of pork. These ribs are seasoned, boiled until tender, then baked with your favorite barbeque sauce. That's it! Back to simplicity, back to the country life. Sigh.

BBQ COUNTRY RIBS



BBQ Country Ribs image

I created this country ribs recipe many years ago when I adapted a sauce I saw in a magazine. The original called for much more oil. I usually triple the sauce and keep some in my freezer to use on chicken, beef or pork. -Barbara Gerriets, Topeka, Kansas

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.

BBQ RIBS DRY RUB



BBQ Ribs Dry Rub image

This is a dry rub I've experimented with for a while. I put this on a couple racks of Pork ribs, marinaded overnight then cooked slow in my smoker. Wow did they turn out great! Wife and kids loved them. I put a homemade BBQ sauce on one rack and none on the other. Both were great but I think the one without sauce was better. Though this was cooked in a smoker, it could also be done in the oven or BBQ.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 -2 pork spare rib racks
1 tablespoon Season-All salt
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
3 cups apple juice

Steps:

  • Mix together dry ingredients.
  • Rub liberally all over the ribs on both sides. (For more flavor penetration, pull off membrane from the bone side of ribs).
  • Cover with plastic wrap or vacuum seal bag and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat smoker/cooker to at least 250°F and keep between 250-300°F.
  • Pour 2 cups of the apple juice in water pan to steam the ribs with.
  • Add soaked hardwood chips or smoking wood of your choice to the smoker.
  • Amount of smoke is up to you.
  • After about 3 hours, internal temperature of the meat should be around 170°F In order to make the meat a bit more tender, wrap the ribs in foil and spray or drizzle some remaining apple juice on the ribs, closing the foil around them until desired tenderness is achieved. Don't drown the ribs in juice but moisten them, about another hour or so.
  • If sauce is desired, mop it on the ribs the last 30 minutes or so of cooking.

Crock Pot BBQ Ribs image

This is my own finger licking good recipe that is a hit every time and you don't even have to fire up the barbie!

Provided by fitmama

Categories     Meat

Time 7h10m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 lbs beef ribs
0.75 (16 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Place ribs meaty side up in crock pot.
  • Cover; cook on low for 6 hours.
  • Drain the grease from the crock.
  • Place the ribs back in and cover with bbq sauce.
  • Cook for another hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the best ribs: Look for meaty ribs with good marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and make them more tender.
  • Season the ribs: Apply a generous amount of rub to the ribs. The rub will help to flavor the ribs and create a crispy crust.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help to tenderize the ribs and make them fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest: After the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.
