BALSAMIC-GLAZED OVEN-BAKED RIBS



Balsamic-Glazed Oven-Baked Ribs image

Conventional wisdom holds that pork ribs taste best when cooked outdoors on a grill or smoker. Conventional wisdom hasn't experienced the sweet-sour balsamic-glazed St. Louis-cut spare ribs at Animal in Los Angeles. The restaurant's chefs, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, prepare them in a way that most barbecue purists would never order, much less eat: baked in the oven. Here, their recipe has been adapted for the home cook.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 spare-rib racks, the smallest you can find 5 to 6 pounds total
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
Kosher salt
4 large flat-leaf parsley sprigs
4 garlic cloves, peeled and gently crushed
4 thyme sprigs
1 cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1 cup ketchup
6 ounces (1/2 can) your favorite beer
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, or to taste
1/2 red onion, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
Salt

Steps:

  • To prepare the ribs, heat the oven to 350 degrees. If the butcher has not removed the membrane on the back of each rack, gently pry it up by sliding a sharp implement (like the tip of an instant-read thermometer) under it, then lifting gently. Grab the membrane with a paper towel and peel it off.
  • Spread a 24-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny side up, on a work surface. Place one rack on top, rub it all over with oil, and generously season both sides with salt. Place 2 parsley sprigs and 2 garlic cloves under the concave side of the rack and 2 thyme sprigs on top. Wrap the ribs in the foil, pleating the edges to seal well. Repeat with the second rack. Place the rib packets in a large roasting pan.
  • Roast the ribs for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 250 degrees. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, until the meat has shrunk back from the ends of the bones by 1/4 to 1/2 inch and the ribs are tender enough to pull apart with your fingers.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the barbecue sauce. Place the balsamic vinegar in a large nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced by a third. Add the remaining barbecue sauce ingredients with 1/4 cup water, bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until thick, 30 to 40 minutes. If the sauce starts to thicken too much, add a little water. The sauce should be highly seasoned; adjust to taste by adding vinegar, brown sugar or salt.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and let cool briefly, then open the foil, being careful of the escaping steam. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet. Turn on the broiler or raise the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Slather the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce. Broil the ribs until the sauce sizzles and browns, 2 to 4 minutes on each side. Alternatively, bake in the oven 8 to 12 minutes. Baste with the barbecue sauce and serve at once with any remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right short ribs: Look for short ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Marinating the short ribs: Marinating the short ribs for at least 2 hours, or overnight, will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs is a good place to start.
  • Grilling the short ribs: When grilling the short ribs, cook them over indirect heat until they are tender and fall-off-the-bone. This will usually take about 1-2 hours.
  • Making the balsamic sauce: The balsamic sauce is a simple but delicious way to add extra flavor to the short ribs. To make the sauce, simply simmer balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic in a saucepan until it has thickened.
  • Serving the short ribs: Once the short ribs are cooked, serve them with the balsamic sauce and your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grilled asparagus are all good options.

Conclusion:

Grilled short ribs with balsamic sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your short ribs turn out perfectly tender and flavorful every time.
