BBQ BEEF RIBS

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slabs BBQ beef ribs
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup apple juice
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
Pinch of cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for indirect heat using hickory and charcoal and heat to 250 degrees F.
  • Place the ribs on a clean cutting board and pull off the membrane, the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat.
  • For the rub: Whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, brown sugar, paprika, chile powder, cumin and pepper. Rub the beef ribs with the seasoning and place on a sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap, and if time, let marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
  • For the glaze: Add the maple syrup, apple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chile powder, cayenne, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until syrupy, about 8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon on occasion.
  • Remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Place the ribs meatier-side-down on the grill away from the coals. Cook the beef 3 hours, adding more coals as needed. Turn and cook until the ribs "bend" and the meat easily separates from the bone using a fork, about 45 minutes more. Brush on the glaze to the ribs and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and slice into individual ribs.

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Four 1-pound beef short ribs
Sea salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill grate
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, peeled
5 stalks lemon grass, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 two-inch piece ginger, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed with side of knife
3 1/4-inch slices fresh ginger

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Season the ribs all over with salt. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and brown on all sides, turning with tongs, 5 minutes a side. Transfer to a platter and pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
  • Add the onion, carrots, garlic, lemon grass and ginger to the pot. Cook over high heat until lightly browned, 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar and 3 cups water, and bring to a boil. Return the ribs to the pot, immersing them in the liquid. Tightly cover and bake, turning the ribs once or twice until very tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Let the ribs cool in the liquid, then drain well. (Ribs can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
  • For the glaze: In a heavy saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and simmer over medium heat until thick, about 10 minutes. Strain.
  • Prepare a grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil the grate. Cook the ribs until dark brown all over, 3 to 5 minutes a side, basting with the glaze. Serve with the remaining glaze drizzled on top or passed separately in a bowl.

Fall-off-the-bone sticky barbecue ribs image

Prep these ribs in the oven first, then glaze with a sticky sauce and fire up the barbecue. They can be easily transported for finishing outdoors

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 racks of baby back pork ribs or other whole racks (about 450g each)
5 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp smoked paprika
4 tbsp light brown soft sugar
1 tbsp garlic granules
1 tbsp onion granules
1 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
300g tomato ketchup
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
300ml apple juice

Steps:

  • If there's a thin membrane on the back of the ribs, peel this off as best you can. The length of the ribs will be determined by the size of your roasting tin and barbecue - leave them whole or cut in half or thirds. Tip the ribs into a large, deep roasting tin. Whisk the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl until completely combined, then pour this over the ribs. Toss the ribs in the sauce using your hands to ensure they're completely coated. Cover the tin with foil, shiny-side down. To cook straightaway, simply leave to marinate while the oven heats up, or chill the ribs overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bake the ribs for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs, turning once or twice until the bones are exposed and the meat is pull-apart tender. When the ribs are cooked, leave to cool a little, then lift onto a tray using tongs. Pour the sauce from the tin into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened. Leave to cool. The sauce and ribs can be prepared up to two days ahead and chilled.
  • Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, or set a gas barbecue to medium. Put as many ribs on the grill as you can fit, then brush generously with the sauce. Working quickly, grill the ribs, basting with more sauce and turning every minute or so until the ribs are well-coated, charred at the edges, caramelised and sticky. Repeat with any remaining ribs and sauce if they didn't all fit on the grill at once. Serve piled high on a platter with the reserved sauce on the side for slathering on top. Any leftover sauce will keep chilled in the fridge for up to a week.

  • Choose high-quality beef ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and well-marbled. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the seasoning penetrate the meat. You can also trim off any excess fat.
  • Use a good rub: A flavorful rub will help to enhance the taste of the ribs. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own using spices and herbs.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
