BARBECUE COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS



Barbecue Country-Style Pork Ribs image

This basic barbecue has big flavor and no ketchup or Coca-Cola (no disrespect meant to those who favor that type of seasoning). There's no fire involved; you use a standard oven. The spicing trends toward Caribbean, with plenty of sweet spice and as much Scotch bonnet or habanero chile heat as you wish. County-style ribs are meaty bone-in pork chops cut from the shoulder end of the loin, so use those or a whole bone-in pork shoulder roast. Cooked until it's ultratender, it can be cut in chunky pieces and served in its juices with beans, rice and cornbread. Or shred the cooked meat to make pulled pork sandwiches or tacos. It's quite good accompanied with a crisp slawlike cabbage salad or your favorite version of coleslaw.

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

5 pounds thick country-style pork ribs or whole bone-in pork shoulder roast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons allspice berries
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon whole cloves
2 tablespoons smoked paprika, such as pimentón de la Vera
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon annatto powder (optional)
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 or 3 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, left whole but split to the stem (optional)
4 bay leaves
Soft buns or crusty rolls (optional)
1 medium Savoy cabbage, cut into 1-inch-wide ribbons
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup orange juice (from 1 medium orange)
3 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 large lime)
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1 small jalapeño chile, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in a Dutch oven or a roasting pan with a lid. Sprinkle with salt. In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast allspice, peppercorns, coriander and cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Using an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind spices and transfer to a small bowl.
  • To the ground, toasted spices, add smoked paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, annatto (if using), garlic, molasses, vinegar and tomato paste. Stir well, then rub mixture all over pork.
  • Add 4 cups water to pot. Add split chiles, if using (omit if you don't like really spicy barbecue), and bay leaves. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees, and continue to bake, basting occasionally for 2 hours, until meat is fork tender and falling off the bone. Pour off juices and remove rising fat. Cut pork into chunks or shred. Serve with pan juices, on a bun or roll, and/or with the cabbage salad. (Alternatively, refrigerate meat and juices for up to 2 days for easier fat removal, and reheat.)
  • To make optional cabbage salad, place cabbage in a low, wide bowl. Sprinkle with salt and toss well. Add orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, jalapeño, cumin and scallions. Toss well and leave to macerate for at least 1 hour; repeat tossing once or twice. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

BARBECUED PORK RIBS



Barbecued Pork Ribs image

These pork ribs are rubbed with a blend of earthy spices and brushed with a slowly simmered sauce that has a slight kick. They come off the grill tender yet pleasingly chewy, with just the right hit of smoky goodness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 racks (2 to 2 1/2 pounds each) Saint Louis-style pork ribs
Vegetable oil, for grill rack
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons hot paprika
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup bourbon
1 cup strained tomatoes
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the ribs: Place 1 rib rack, meat side down, on a work surface. With a knife, cut a small slit through the silvery membrane at 1 end of the rack. Using a paper towel, grip the cut portion of the membrane, gently peel it from the rack, and discard. Repeat with remaining rack.
  • Make the rub: Combine sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, mustard powder, and celery seed in a bowl. (If mixture is clumpy, pass through a medium sieve.) Rub mixture on both sides of each rack. Place ribs on a rimmed baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Make the sauce: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes and tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in bourbon, scraping the pan. Stir in tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, water, and sugar, and cook, continuing to stir, until sugar dissolves.
  • Simmer the sauce: Bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by 1/3, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly. Puree in a blender until smooth. (You should have about 2 cups.) Use immediately, or let cool completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • Set up the grill: Place a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum pan in the center of bottom grill rack. If using a charcoal grill, place a chimney starter on top grill rack, and fill with about 60 charcoal briquettes (about 4 pounds). Stuff newspaper under chimney, and ignite. Heat briquettes until just covered in ash. Wearing oven mitts, carefully lift chimney, remove top rack, and pour coals onto bottom rack along both sides of pan. Top coals with 1 to 2 chunks hardwood or 1 cup wood chips that have been soaked in water for 1 hour and drained. Fill pan halfway with hot water. Replace top rack. If using a gas grill, heat to medium-low.
  • Grill the ribs: Let ribs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Fold a paper towel into a thick rectangle, and dip it in oil. Hold towel with tongs, and brush oil on top grill rack. Place both rib racks, bone side down, on top grill rack, directly over pan. Cover, keeping top grill vents halfway open and bottom vents completely open to maintain grill temperature of 275 degrees to 325 degrees. Cook ribs, without turning, until the meat is tender but not falling off bones, and has shrunk 1/2 inch from ends, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, adding 8 briquettes to each charcoal pile every hour.
  • Baste the ribs: Transfer 1 cup sauce to a small serving bowl. Brush both sides of ribs with remaining 1 cup sauce. Cover, and grill until ribs are glistening and deep mahogany, about 15 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Country-style pork ribs are the best choice for this recipe. They are meaty and flavorful, and they hold up well to the cooking process.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the ribs. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the ribs: Season the ribs liberally with a dry rub. This will help them develop a flavorful crust.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook country-style pork ribs is low and slow. This will help them become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs: Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce every 30 minutes or so. This will help them stay moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices and make them easier to carve.

Conclusion:

Country-style pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a backyard barbecue, a potluck, or a family dinner. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make fall-off-the-bone ribs that will be the hit of your next meal.
