FALL OFF THE BONE BABY BACK RIBS



Fall off the Bone Baby Back Ribs image

This recipe is a work in process, but this is my current method for preparing ribs. This recipe started with a basic recipe from my friend Linda, who got it from another friend, baking the ribs in a broiler pan over water. That causes the ribs to literally fall apart when you try to grill them, so I've been refining the recipe, adding my own touches.

Categories     Pork

Time 8h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 baby back rib racks
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
4 bay leaves
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce
heavy duty aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Remove membrane from back of ribs. This is a must! If you don't remove the membrane, don't bother making the recipe.
  • Apply rub to both sides of the ribs. The measurements given in the ingredient list are approximate -- go with amounts you prefer and add/remove any rub ingredients to fit your taste.
  • Lay a bay leaf on top of each rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil -- wrap them very well, either all in one big piece of aluminum foil, or individually wrapped.
  • Put in a large roasting pan. You can put them directly on the oven rack, but I use a roasting pan in case juices escape.
  • Bake at 200F for 6-8 hours (I prefer about 7-8 hours).
  • Remove ribs from oven and unwrap.
  • Generously apply hot sauce to ribs. Brush on barbecue sauce, then grill until nicely browned.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Dry Rub
1/4 cup Hungarian paprika
2 Tablespoons kosher Salt
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
6 cloves garlic minced
3 whole pork back ribs Washed and dried with paper towel.
SAUCE
1 1/2 cup ketchup
3 Cloves garlic minced
1 whole small onion minced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 Tablespoon smoked hickory flavor
3 Tablespoons mustard, yellow
1 whole lemon, (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix spices together and apply rub thoroughly over the three racks of ribs on individual large sheets of aluminum foil. Rub both sides of each rack and then tightly seal each rack within the foil. Put on a cookie sheet or two and bake in a preheated 225 degree over for 4 to 5 hours depending how fall of the bone you would like your ribs. When done cooking carefully drain the liquid from the ribs and if you are going to use the sauce you will want ot put them back in oven under a preheated broiler, with foil open for about ten minutes to dry the outside a little. This last procedure can also be done on an open barbeque without using foil. Carefully move ribs, as they will be very tender. SAUCE Put olive oil in heated saucepan add onions and saute over medium heat until soft, but do not brown. Add garlic and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add rest of ingredients and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Taste and add lemon juice or more sugar to suit your taste if needed. If you are using the sauce, then you remove the ribs from the oven and glaze the top of the ribs with the sauce. Warm uncovered on grill or under broiler for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular type of ribs for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs. Spare ribs are a bit fattier and have more meat on them, but they take longer to cook.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly.
  • Season the ribs liberally: Use a combination of your favorite spices and herbs to season the ribs. Some popular choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to achieve fall-off-the-bone ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will allow the collagen in the ribs to break down, making them tender and juicy.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a mixture of water, vinegar, and your favorite seasonings will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can easily prepare this classic dish at home. Just remember to be patient and cook the ribs low and slow. The result will be ribs that are so tender and flavorful, they'll fall right off the bone.
