Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 kg (4lbs) pork ribs ((spare ribs / belly ribs / baby back ribs) )
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
4 cup apple juice ((you can substitute with stock or water))
1 cup tomato ketchup
½ cup worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp cider / Balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
1-2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.
  • If your ribs still have the membrane/silver skin on the back of the rack attached, remove it by loosening the skin with a knife until you can grab it with a piece of paper towel. Pull the membrane off and discard.
  • Combine the salt, sugar, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder then generously season the ribs on both sides. Place in two baking dishes or foil trays. .
  • Pour in the apple juice, cover with foil and place in the oven. Allow to bake for 2½-3 hours or until the ribs are tender.
  • To make the barbecue sauce, combine the tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce is thick and smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Once the ribs are tender, remove from the oven and set aside while you prepare the grill. Preheat the grill for at least 5 minutes. Heat should be medium-high as you don't want the barbecue sauce to burn before the ribs are glazed.
  • Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce then place on the grill. Allow to cook for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing the ribs regularly with the barbecue sauce.
  • Remove the ribs from the grill, allow to rest for 5 minutes then slice and serve

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds pork spareribs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
  • For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

STICKIEST EVER BBQ RIBS WITH CHIVE DIP



Stickiest ever BBQ ribs with chive dip image

Slow cook these American-style pork ribs so they're really tender then coat in an irresistibly sweet, sticky sauce

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Main course

Time 4h10m

Yield Serves 4 or 8 with other bbq food

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 racks baby back pork ribs
2 cans cola
2 tsp toasted sesame seed (optional)
8 tbsp tomato ketchup
8 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tsp paprika
300ml pot half-fat soured cream
2 tbsp salad cream
small bunch chive, snipped
6 spring onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and snugly fit the ribs into a roasting tin. Pour over the cola and enough water to cover the ribs, then cover the tin tightly with foil. Roast for 2-3 hrs, turning halfway through, until the ribs are really tender but not falling apart.
  • Meanwhile, put all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Gently heat, then bubble for about 2 mins, stirring.
  • When the ribs are done, carefully lift each out of the tin and sit on kitchen paper to dry. Tip away the liquid and wipe out the tin. Put the dry ribs back in the tin and coat all over with the sticky sauce. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr to marinate, but better still up to 24 hrs. Can be frozen at this stage.
  • Mix the dip ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.
  • Heat the barbecue and wait for the flames to die down, or heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Add the ribs (in a roasting tin, if using the oven) and cook for 20 mins, turning occasionally, and basting often with remaining sauce. When ribs are sticky, hot through and crisping on the outside, slice to serve. Scatter with sesame seeds, if you like, and plate up with any remaining sticky sauce, warmed, and the chive dip.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE STICKY BARBECUE RIBS



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.

Tips:

These BBQ sticky spare ribs are sure to be a hit at your next cookout. They are fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The homemade barbecue sauce is the perfect finishing touch. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
