OVEN-BAKED BARBECUE RIB TIPS



Oven-Baked Barbecue Rib Tips image

Rib tips are the parts of the rib that are cut away to make St. Louis ribs. Some butchers call this the pork brisket. This cut has a lot of cartilage, but a low, slow cook softens the cartilage and makes it tasty. I like to cut them into small pieces. These meaty bits are a little easier to manage than ribs, and their meaty, chewy texture makes a great appetizer or a main dish. Serve with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.

RIB TIPS



Rib Tips image

Lem's and Barbara Ann's are the two best reasons we can think of for a trip to Chicago. Barbara Ann's links and Lem's rib tips with fries make a feast fit for royalty, and that's how you'll feel from first bite to last. James Lemon, proprietor, has lived on Chicago's South Side since he moved from Mississippi in 1942. Later he joined his other brothers to help run the barbecue joint established by the oldest brother, Miles, a.k.a. "Lem," in 1951. The brothers had a history of barbecuing hogs in a homemade brick pit their father built in their hometown, Indianola. Today James is the only surviving brother, and we're thankful he is still running the business. We're big fans of rib tips. There's no duplicating Lem's rib tips with "spicy gravy"-that's what Mother Lemon called her special barbecue sauce-but when you can't be in Chicago, we hope our rib tips and spicy sauce will provoke some good memories.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons finely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seeds
4 pounds rib tips

Steps:

  • To make the dry rub, combine the brown sugar, seasoned salt, chili powder, pepper, cayenne, Old Bay, sage, and onion powder and blend well. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place until ready to use, for up to 6 months.
  • To make the barbecue sauce, combine the ketchup, sugars, vinegar, chili powder, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and celery seeds in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve all the sugars. Heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Set up your smoker to cook indirectly at 250 degrees F. Season the rib tips all over with the barbecue rub. Place on the smoker and barbecue for 4 to 5 hours, or until the ribs tear apart easily, basting with the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 racks of baby-back pork ribs
1/4 cup barbecue sauce (optional)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning salt (optional)
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 -2 teaspoon cumin (comino)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Lay each rack out on a heavy duty foil sheet.
  • Mix Rib Rub into a thick paste and use your hands to rub it into the meat. You want to rub a thin layer all over without leaving any gritty deposits. It will stain the meat a rich red color. Work the rub into the meat for at least a minute (I hate doing this but it must be done!). Store extra rub in the refrigerator.
  • Wrap tightly in foil. I lay the racks vertically on long vertical sheets. I fold over the top and bottom, then bring the sides up so they are even and fold over and crease, then roll down until the seam is flush against the meat. Be careful not to allow the bones to puncture the foil (I usually use two sheets to prevent this) all your good juices will leak out!
  • Refrigerate until ready to start cooking (the longer they sit the stronger the flavors will be, however you can cook straight away if desired), you can do this the day before if desired or at home if taking to a picnic or campsite.
  • When ready to start cooking place all foil wrapped racks on a rimmed baking sheet or large roasting pan, the packets will leak and your oven will be a big mess otherwise. You can pile them all on, they don't have to be arranged.
  • Bake at 300°F for 2 1/2 hours, I have cooked as many as 8 racks for that same time without any difference, although if your ribs are very thick you may want to increase the cook time a bit or if you just want to delay you can cook them at 250°F for four hours.
  • At this point, remove a rack and careful unroll the foil to check if they are done, the bones should be loose in the meat (you should be able to remove a bone just by pulling it with your fingers). If they are still tight, put it back in for another half an hour or so, keep checking.
  • Transfer finished racks (carefully!) to the grill. Baste each side of each rack with barbecue sauce (this rub works will with a slightly-sweet mesquite) and finish them over a high flame for about 10 minutes, get a good crust, be careful not to let it stick.
  • If you don't have access to a grill you can use your broiler to crisp them up.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rib tips: Look for meaty, well-marbled rib tips with a good amount of fat. Avoid tips that are too thin or bony.
  • Trim the rib tips: Remove any excess fat or silverskin from the rib tips. This will help the meat cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Marinate the rib tips: Marinating the rib tips in a flavorful marinade for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the rib tips over low heat: Cooking the rib tips over low heat will help to tenderize the meat and prevent it from becoming dry. Cook the rib tips for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the rib tips regularly: Basting the rib tips with the marinade or a barbecue sauce will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Let the rib tips rest before serving: Letting the rib tips rest for a few minutes before serving will help the meat to reabsorb its juices and become even more tender.

Conclusion:

Rib tips are a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be easily cooked at home. By following these tips, you can make tender, flavorful rib tips that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give rib tips a try!
