CARIBBEAN BEEF SHORT RIBS



Caribbean Beef Short Ribs image

This is a fantastic change of pace from a typical slow-cooker stew. Its combination of flavors-short ribs, rum and fruit- makes it feel like an exotic Caribbean dish. Make sure to leave the mangoes and pineapple on top of the beef, instead of stirring them in, so that their color will stay bright yellow. When removing the mixture from the slow cooker, take out the fruit first and place in a separate bowl from the meat to avoid coating them with the with brown sauce. I like to also serve it with rice.-Loanne Chiu, Fort Worth, Texas

  • Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon or tongs. Handle them carefully as the meat will be very tender and may start to fall off. Baste with the remaining barbecue sauce and lay on a foil-lined oven tray. Cook for 20 - 30 mins until starting to crisp on outside. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue, turning from time to time until piping hot throughout.

SLOW COOKER HOT HONEY RIBS



Slow Cooker Hot Honey Ribs image

These simple, snackable ribs are slow cooked until they are very tender. Then the ribs are brushed with spicy honey, and broiled for 2 minutes to caramelize. Don't worry that the ribs go into the slow cooker without liquid; the heat is gentle enough that the ribs do not burn, and the meat releases liquid as it cooks, so it braises in its own spiced juices. (You could also make these ribs in a pressure cooker by following this recipe.) One thing to note: Red chiles taste best in this recipe because green chiles are less sweet and can taste grassy. Any spicy red chile will work beautifully, and red-pepper flakes work in a pinch. If you prefer green chiles, however, you can use them.

Categories     dinner, finger foods, meat, appetizer, main course

Time 6h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon hot smoked paprika
1 tablespoon mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Black pepper
2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 pounds total)
2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for greasing
2/3 cup honey
5 red Thai chiles or 2 red jalapeño or serrano chiles, stemmed and thinly sliced (or 2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes)
3 (1-inch) strips lime peel and the juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon juice)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Add the sweet and hot smoked paprika, mustard and garlic powders and several generous grinds of black pepper to a small bowl; mix to combine.
  • Remove the ribs from the packaging and pat them dry with paper towels. (The easiest place to do this is the sink.) Turn the ribs over to remove the membrane that covers the back of the ribs: Grasp one end of the membrane with paper towels to keep your hands from slipping and pull; the membrane should pull right off in one or two sheets. (If it is not easy to pull off you can skip this step.) Season the ribs all over, front and back, using about 1 tablespoon of salt per rack of ribs. Coat the ribs in the spice mixture, patting it all over both sides of the ribs.
  • Lightly coat a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker pot with oil or cooking spray. With the meaty sides facing out and the bones pointing up, coil the ribs into the pot, standing them up in a circle. (You do not need to add liquid.) Cook on low until the meat is very tender when flaked with a fork, but the ribs are not quite falling apart, 6 to 8 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the hot honey: Combine the honey, chiles and lime peel in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let the mixture get very hot, until it simmers and then starts to foam, about 2 minutes. Remove it from the heat, pour it into a small heatproof bowl and set aside. (The honey can be made several days in advance. When it cools, cover it, and store it at room temperature.)
  • Line a sheet pan with foil. Using tongs, transfer the ribs to the sheet pan, meaty side up. Heat the broiler. Remove the lime zest from the honey (leave the chiles in) and stir the lime juice and apple cider vinegar into the honey. Using a spoon, drizzle the honey all over the ribs, using about half the honey, but leaving the chiles in the bowl.
  • Broil the ribs until they are caramelized, sizzling and lightly charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. (Check the ribs every 30 seconds or so to prevent burning, and rotate them to make sure that all the surfaces get caramelized.) Season the ribs with salt then drizzle more of the hot honey and chiles this time over the ribs, to taste. Serve with any remaining hot honey on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for meaty ribs with a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or fatty.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
  • Make the spice rub: Combine all of the spices and rub them evenly over the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs in a slow cooker: Place the ribs in a slow cooker and cook them on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Make the Caribbean-spiced sauce: While the ribs are cooking, make the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a saucepan and simmering it for 15 minutes.
  • Glaze the ribs with the sauce: Once the ribs are cooked, brush them with the sauce and return them to the slow cooker for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Serve the ribs: Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as rice and beans, coleslaw, or potato salad.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker Caribbean-spiced ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and the Caribbean-spiced sauce is flavorful and tangy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
