BEEF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE - SLOW COOKED SHORT RIBS!



Beef Ribs with Barbecue Sauce - slow cooked short ribs! image

Recipe video above. Extremely hands off, foolproof way to cook beef ribs - slow cooked in the oven in a homemade BBQ Sauce braising liquid until the meat is fall apart and ridiculously juicy inside, and the outside is bronzed and sticky. BONUS: this all happens in one pan, it's 100% perfect for make ahead and freezing, and makes its own barbecue sauce (and it might be the best you ever have in your life because it's made with the rib juices!).

Categories     Mains

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 x 300 - 350g / 10 - 12 oz beef ribs ((aka beef short ribs) (Note 1), patted dry)
1 tbsp brown sugar ((sub white))
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder ((sub 1 tsp fresh garlic))
1 tsp onion powder ((sub garlic powder))
1/2 tsp cumin powder
3/4 tsp mustard powder ((Note 2))
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves (, minced (sub 2 tsp powder))
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar ((Note 2 subs))
1 1/2 cups ketchup (, or Aussie tomato sauce)
1/2 cup brown sugar (, loosely packed (ie don't pack it tight)(sub white))
2 tsp EACH black pepper, onion powder, mustard powder ((Note 2))
1 tsp cayenne pepper ((adjust to taste re: spiciness))
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ((sub soy sauce))
2 cups water
Parsley or chives (, chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (all oven types).
  • Mix Rub in a small bowl large, enough to fit one rib.
  • Press beef ribs into the rub, coating all sides. Shake off excess.
  • Mix Barbecue Sauce ingredients, except water, in a baking pan. Then mix in water.
  • Place ribs in sauce, turning to coat. Arrange meat side down in the sauce, bone side exposed (sauce won't cover completely, that's ok).
  • Cover tightly with foil or lid, bake 3 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven, remove foil. Turn ribs (some may have fall over, that's ok, just turn them). Spoon over sauce.
  • Bake 30 minutes uncovered, spooning over sauce again halfway through, until surface is caramelised and sticky. Check to ensure ribs are tender - pry a bit apart using two forks. (If not, cover and return to oven, but after 4 hrs they certainly should be!)
  • Remove ribs onto serving plate (use a spoon as meat will barely be attached to bone, if at all). Mix sauce to bring together (Note 3 on adjustments). Serve with ribs!

SLOW-COOKER BARBECUE RIBS



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.
