Fall-off-the-bone ribs are a classic dish that can be enjoyed all year round. This article presents two foolproof methods for cooking ribs to perfection: in the oven and on the grill.

For those who prefer a more hands-off approach, the oven-baked ribs recipe offers a simple and convenient way to achieve tender and juicy results. Simply marinate the ribs in your favorite sauce or rub, then bake them in the oven until fall-apart tender.

For a more traditional smoky flavor, the grilled ribs recipe provides step-by-step instructions for cooking ribs on a charcoal or gas grill. This method involves a two-step process of slow-cooking the ribs over indirect heat, then finishing them over direct heat to create a delicious caramelized crust.

Both recipes include detailed instructions, cooking times, and helpful tips to ensure that your ribs turn out perfectly every time. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a beginner cook, you'll find everything you need to make mouthwatering ribs that will impress your family and friends.

2 racks, (5 lbs/2250g) pork spare ribs
2 tablespoon (30 ml) brown sugar
4 teaspoon (20ml) ground cumin
4 teaspoon (20 ml) smoked paprika
2 teaspoon (10 ml) garlic powder
2 teaspoon (10 ml) ground coriander
2 teaspoon (10 ml) salt
1 c (240 ml) of ketchup

  • Lay out 2 large pieces of aluminum foil, fastened together by folding the seams, across a rimmed baking sheet. You'll do this twice for 2 racks, 2 baking trays.

  • Meanwhile, you can prepare the BBQ Sauce in advance.
  • To make the sauce: Place everything in a pot and whisk until combined. Simmer to allow flavors to marry. Then allow to cool and refrigerate until ready to serve. Then just reheat before serving.
  • After roasting grill ribs for 3-5 minutes on each side for desired charring. Brush ribs with BBQ sauce on both sides. Cut into single ribs. Place on platter. Brush with more sauce as needed. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, sliced on the diagonal. Enjoy!

1 tablespoon dark molasses
½ tablespoon ground red chile pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degree F (150 degrees C).
  • Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chile pepper over meat. Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chile pepper.

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the racks from the foil, and place on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).

Tips for Cooking Ribs in the Oven and on the Grill:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs and spare ribs are the most popular cuts for grilling. Baby back ribs are leaner and cook faster, while spare ribs are meatier and have more flavor.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help them cook evenly. You can also trim the excess fat if desired.
  • Season the ribs: There are many different ways to season ribs. You can use a simple rub made with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can get more creative with your spices. Some popular options include brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Cook the ribs in the oven: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the ribs on a baking sheet and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender. You can also wrap the ribs in foil before baking to help them cook more evenly.
  • Finish the ribs on the grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce and grill for 5-10 minutes per side, or until the sauce is caramelized and the ribs are heated through.

Conclusion:

Cooking ribs in the oven and on the grill is a great way to achieve tender, flavorful results. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ribs turn out perfectly every time. Remember to experiment with different cooking methods and seasonings to find what you like best. And most importantly, enjoy the process of cooking and eating this delicious dish!
