Categories     Main Dish

Time 9h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 pounds spare pork ribs (thawed if previously frozen)
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
½ Tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
  • Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut the ribs so they will fit in your slow cooker. Pat them dry with paper towels and massage the dry rub into the ribs. Evenly distribute the rub over the ribs (make sure you get both sides!).
  • Nestle the ribs into the slow cooker, and cook for 7-9 hours on LOW, or 4-5 hours on HIGH.
  • 45 minutes before the timer goes off, brush 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over the ribs. Cover and continue cooking.
  • Slice and serve with additional barbecue sauce (optional).

Slow-Cooker Barbecue Ribs image

Yes, you can cook ribs in a slow cooker! In this easy recipe, the seasoning paste transforms into a savory dipping sauce. Slather it on the ribs and pop them on the grill just before serving for a final char.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground mustard seeds
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 racks baby back ribs (about 3 pounds)
Oil, for grilling

Steps:

  • Whisk the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, mustard, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Cut each rack of ribs in half and add to the slow cooker. Use your hands to rub the sauce on to the ribs. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until tender, about 4 hours.
  • Gently transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and cool for at least 20 minutes; this will help maintain the shape of the ribs as they grill. Whisk the sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce to brush on to the ribs and save any remaining sauce to serve on the side (it will thicken as it cools).
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the ribs, top-side down, until lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, brush the top side of the ribs with the reserved barbecue sauce and grill until the underside of the ribs are lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately with the extra barbecue sauce on the side.

SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS

These are the best I've had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago. It's not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

After reading a number of different crock pot ribs, I decided to post my version. The combination of soy and worcestershire sauce give the ribs a little something different to taste. Enjoy!

Provided by AshleyNeicole

Categories     Pork

Time 8h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 lbs pork ribs
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 -4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
seasoning salt
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
your favorite barbecue sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut ribs into individual pieces.
  • Mix soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and olive oil together. Pour over ribs and mix to make sure each rib is coated.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Be careful with the salt since soy sauce is naturally salty.
  • Cook in crock pot on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours.
  • Optional: Remove from crock pot (store liquid as stock if you like, otherwise discard) and coat ribs with your favorite sauce. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. I have found the ribs taste great either way.

Tips:

  • Before cooking, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and tenderize them.
  • Use a variety of seasonings and spices to flavor the ribs. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce or your favorite marinade during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help caramelize the ribs and give them a delicious glaze.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or baked beans.
