Categories     Dinner

Time P1DT20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 rack of ribs
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup pork dry rub*, divided
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (or more, to taste)

Steps:

  • First, fill a large pot with water (something large enough to submerge your ribs). Preheat your sous vide water bath to 152ºF by attaching your sous vide to the side of the pot.
  • Next, prepare pork dry rub by combining all of the spices together in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Then, remove rack of ribs from the package and place it onto a large baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut the rack in half. Then, flip the ribs over and remove the white membrane by peeling it back. Discard membrane.
  • Generously season ribs with your dry rub. Use about 1/2 cup of dry rub at this point and save the rest for later. Use your hands to massage the rub into the front and back of the ribs.
  • Transfer each half rack of ribs into 2 separate food saver bags and remove as much air as possible and seal. Submerge bags into the sous vide water bath and use 2 clips to attach them to the side of the pot. Cover pot with a piece of tin foil, leaving a hole for the sous vide to stick out. The reason we do this is to prevent evaporation overnight.
  • Set timer for 24-hours. Make sure to check water level every so often to make sure that the water does not evaporate. If it does, just add more.
  • Once the 24-hours is up, remove bags from water bath and then cut them open with a pair of scissors. Discard the juices and remove the ribs. Place ribs on top of paper towel and use an additional paper towel to blot any moisture out of them.
  • Use around 1/4 cup more of dry rub to season the front and back of the ribs. Then, use a brush to apply a layer of your favorite BBQ sauce. You can use as much or as little BBQ sauce as you'd like.
  • Preheat grill to 450ºF. Then, rub grill grates with olive oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Grill both sides of the ribs for 5-6 minutes or until you get a charred edge.
  • Let ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Sous Vide Barbecue Pork Ribs Recipe image

A sous vide barbecue pork ribs recipe that achieves the goals of traditional smoking-crusty bark and tender yet meaty texture-without the BBQ tools.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Mains

Time 18h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Spice Rub:
1/3 cup paprika
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon Prague Powder #1 (optional; see note)
2 tablespoons whole yellow mustard seed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon whole coriander seed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the Sauce (if making sauced ribs):
1 medium yellow onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 1/2 cups (360ml) ketchup
2 tablespoons (30ml) spicy brown mustard
1/3 cup (80ml) dark molasses
1/4 cup (60ml) Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon (3ml) Wright's or Colgin liquid hickory smoke
For the Ribs:
2 whole racks St. Louis-cut pork ribs
About 3/4 teaspoon (3ml) Wright's or Colgin liquid hickory smoke

Steps:

  • To Finish Dry-Style on the Grill: Remove ribs from vacuum bags and carefully pat dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining 3 tablespoons spice rub. Light one-half chimney full of charcoal (about 2 1/2 quarts of coals). When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the medium heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Scrape the grill grates clean with a grill scraper, then oil the grates by holding an oil-dipped kitchen towel or paper towels in a set of tongs and rubbing them over the grates 5 to 6 times. Place the ribs, meat-side up, over the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until ribs are heated through and dry to the touch, about 15 minutes. Transfer ribs to hotter side of grill and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until a crusty bark has formed, about 10 minutes. Serve.
  • To Finish Sauced Ribs in the Oven: Remove ribs from vacuum bags and carefully pat dry with paper towels. Adjust oven racks to upper and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil and place a wire rack in each. Divide ribs evenly on racks, meat-side up. Transfer ribs to oven and cook until surface is sizzling and ribs are heated through, about 20 minutes. Brush ribs with sauce and return to oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with another layer of sauce, and return to oven until sauce is dried and sticky, about 10 minutes longer. Remove ribs from oven, paint with one last layer of sauce, and serve, passing extra sauce at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for sous vide cooking, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs.
  • Season the ribs well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices to flavor the ribs.
  • Vacuum seal the ribs: Make sure the ribs are completely covered in liquid before vacuum sealing them.
  • Cook the ribs at the right temperature and time: The ideal cooking temperature for sous vide ribs is between 145°F and 165°F. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the ribs and the desired level of doneness.
  • Chill the ribs before finishing: After cooking, chill the ribs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and firm up the meat.
  • Finish the ribs by grilling, broiling, or searing: This will help to add a crispy, caramelized crust to the ribs.
