Giant BBQ Rib Sandwich (To Feed A Crowd) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: baby back ribs, paprika, pepper, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, barbecue sauce, honey, bread, butter, sesame seed, large onions, fresh parsley

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Lunch

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 rack baby back ribs, membrane removed (this is essential for de-boning)
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup honey
1 large loaf bread
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sesame seed
2 large onions, sliced and caramelized
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Lay the ribs on a long sheet of aluminum foil. Combine the paprika, pepper, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl, then cover the ribs evenly on both sides, pressing the rub into any cracks and smoothing out any large lumps. Wrap the foil around the ribs, making sure they're completely sealed. It's important that the juices of the ribs stay inside the foil to keep the ribs moist during cooking. Use more sheets of foil if necessary.
  • Bake the ribs for 3-3½ hours, until tender. Unwrap the ribs carefully, then wiggle the bones out slowly. If you're having trouble removing the bones, use a knife to make small cuts in the meat to aid their removal. Preheat the broiler on your oven.
  • Combine the barbecue sauce and honey in a small bowl and brush both sides of the deboned slab of ribs generously, being sure to carefully handle the ribs since the meat will be super tender.
  • Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and starting to brown.
  • Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise, then butter both sides of the bread. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside of the bread, then toast under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep a careful eye on it as they will burn extremely quickly.
  • With two long spatulas or knives, carefully transfer the glazed ribs to the bottom bread half, then top with the caramelized onions, parsley, and the top half of bread. Cut into about 8 2-inch (5-cm) sandwiches, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

BBQ COUNTRY RIBS

I created this country ribs recipe many years ago when I adapted a sauce I saw in a magazine. The original called for much more oil. I usually triple the sauce and keep some in my freezer to use on chicken, beef or pork. -Barbara Gerriets, Topeka, Kansas

BARBECUE COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS



Barbecue Country-Style Pork Ribs image

This basic barbecue has big flavor and no ketchup or Coca-Cola (no disrespect meant to those who favor that type of seasoning). There's no fire involved; you use a standard oven. The spicing trends toward Caribbean, with plenty of sweet spice and as much Scotch bonnet or habanero chile heat as you wish. County-style ribs are meaty bone-in pork chops cut from the shoulder end of the loin, so use those or a whole bone-in pork shoulder roast. Cooked until it's ultratender, it can be cut in chunky pieces and served in its juices with beans, rice and cornbread. Or shred the cooked meat to make pulled pork sandwiches or tacos. It's quite good accompanied with a crisp slawlike cabbage salad or your favorite version of coleslaw.

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

5 pounds thick country-style pork ribs or whole bone-in pork shoulder roast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons allspice berries
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon whole cloves
2 tablespoons smoked paprika, such as pimentón de la Vera
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon annatto powder (optional)
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 or 3 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, left whole but split to the stem (optional)
4 bay leaves
Soft buns or crusty rolls (optional)
1 medium Savoy cabbage, cut into 1-inch-wide ribbons
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup orange juice (from 1 medium orange)
3 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 large lime)
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1 small jalapeño chile, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in a Dutch oven or a roasting pan with a lid. Sprinkle with salt. In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast allspice, peppercorns, coriander and cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Using an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind spices and transfer to a small bowl.
  • To the ground, toasted spices, add smoked paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, annatto (if using), garlic, molasses, vinegar and tomato paste. Stir well, then rub mixture all over pork.
  • Add 4 cups water to pot. Add split chiles, if using (omit if you don't like really spicy barbecue), and bay leaves. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees, and continue to bake, basting occasionally for 2 hours, until meat is fork tender and falling off the bone. Pour off juices and remove rising fat. Cut pork into chunks or shred. Serve with pan juices, on a bun or roll, and/or with the cabbage salad. (Alternatively, refrigerate meat and juices for up to 2 days for easier fat removal, and reheat.)
  • To make optional cabbage salad, place cabbage in a low, wide bowl. Sprinkle with salt and toss well. Add orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, jalapeño, cumin and scallions. Toss well and leave to macerate for at least 1 hour; repeat tossing once or twice. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • Choose the best ribs: Look for country-style pork ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs is to cook them low and slow. This allows the collagen in the ribs to break down, making them tender.
  • Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will add flavor to the ribs and help to create a crispy crust. Be sure to apply the rub generously to all sides of the ribs.
  • Smoke the ribs: Smoking the ribs adds a delicious smoky flavor. If you don't have a smoker, you can also cook the ribs in the oven or on a grill.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: A good sauce will complement the ribs and add an extra layer of flavor. Be sure to simmer the sauce for a while to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Country-style pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like them smoked, grilled, or baked, there's a recipe out there that's perfect for you. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give country-style pork ribs a try.
