MICHAEL CHIARELLO'S BABYBACK RIBS WITH ESPRESSO BARBECUE SAUCE

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 to 6 ribs per person)
Grey salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Espresso Sauce, recipe follows
4 tablespoons mashed and minced garlic
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 cups ketchup
2 cups honey
Grey salt
2 demitasse cups espresso (or about 1/2 cup of strong coffee or instant espresso)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cut each rack of ribs in half along the bone so they can be easily stacked. Lay them out on the parchment paper in which they were wrapped for easy cleanup.
  • Salt and pepper liberally on both sides and pat spices into the meat. Make sure to over season the ribs, because part of the rub will inevitably come off in the pan. On a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil, stack the ribs close together, about 3 layers high. Place in the oven for 2 hours, shifting the bottom layer of ribs to the top every 30 minutes until they are tender and almost falling off the bone.
  • One half hour before serving, transfer ribs to a preheated grill (if using coals, make sure they have burnt down to an ember). Brush ribs with Espresso Sauce and close grill. Continue to turn and brush the ribs with sauce every 10 minutes, about 3 more times.
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • Mash garlic with the side of a knife and then mince finely to release oils.
  • Add olive oil to a preheated saute pan. Add the garlic and saute until it gets light brown, about 1 minute. Add cider vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and honey and stir well. Add a pinch of grey salt, then whisk in the coffee. Add freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Let cool and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

COPYCAT CHILI'S INSTANT POT BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY



Copycat Chili's Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs Recipe by Tasty image

Juicy, tender ribs in less than 30 minutes? It sounds impossible, but with the help of a pressure cooker, you'll have perfect, fall-of-the-bone ribs in no time. We replicated the flavors of Chili's famous ribs by incorporating liquid smoke in the cooking process. We also created a cheater's BBQ sauce by upgrading good-quality store-bought BBQ sauce with chipotle in adobo, orange juice, and chili powder.

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon white pepper
1 rack baby back ribs, silverskin removed, cut in half crosswise
1 cup water
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional
½ cup store-bought brown sugar barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon orange juice

Steps:

  • Make the ribs: In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and white pepper. Whisk to combine.
  • Season both sides of the baby back ribs with some of the dry rub, reserving the rest for another use.
  • Add the water, liquid smoke, and apple cider vinegar to the basin of an Instant Pot. Place the rack insert in the bottom and set the ribs on the rack on their sides, spiraling around the inside of the pot.
  • Close the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the vent is set to sealing. Select manual pressure and set the pressure to high. Set the timer for 25 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn the machine to venting to release the pressure.
  • Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, chipotle in adobo, chili powder and orange juice. Set aside.
  • When the ribs have about 10 minutes of cook time left, arrange an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and turn the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the barbecue sauce.
  • Broil the ribs for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to caramelize.
  • Enjoy!
