SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS



Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs image

These are the best I've had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago. It's not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small racks baby back ribs (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each), cut in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2/3 cup teriyaki-style barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/4 cup pineapple preserves
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle

Steps:

  • Generously season the ribs with salt and pepper, then rub with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with the chile powder, pressing to adhere. Whisk 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, the vinegar, ginger and garlic in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Add the ribs and turn to coat in the sauce. Cover and cook on low until the ribs are tender, 7 hours.
  • Preheat the broiler. Transfer the ribs to a rimmed baking sheet. Remove 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid to a small bowl and whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, the pineapple preserves and ketchup.
  • Brush the pineapple sauce all over the ribs to coat completely; arrange bone-side down. Broil until the sauce is sticky and the ribs are lightly charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the scallions.

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.

PINEAPPLE GRILLED BBQ RIBS



Pineapple Grilled BBQ Ribs image

This was my 1st attempt at making ribs years ago, and is still my most requested recipe with family and friends. And, it works great with Baby backs, Spares, and St. Louie's (I prefer the St. Louis). And the longer they marinate in the fridge the better. Most importantly, don't fret over exact measurements for this recipe...I eyeball it, and it always comes out great.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 meaty pork rib racks, cut into 3-5 bone sections (depending on cut)
1 whole fresh pineapple
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 (18 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce (I prefer Sweet Baby Rays)
1 dash liquid smoke
1 orange, zest of, with remaining orange cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • wash the rough outside skin of the pineapple and slice off the bottom and leaves. Cut the skin off in 1/2"-3/4" slices. Set the remaining pineapple aside.
  • In a large stock pot (15 qt is best), add the pineapple skin slices, 1 cup brown sugar,2 cups BBQ sauce, the orange slices, dash of liquid smoke, and the rib sections.
  • Add enough water to the pot to cover the ribs completely, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer ribs for 40 minutes. Don't overcook them.
  • Remove ribs from pot and set aside to cool.
  • While ribs cool, make a rub from the orange zest, remaining brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • When ribs are cool enough to handle, apply rub to both sides of meat. Place ribs in a plastic freezer bag, and allow to marinate for 3 or 4 hours (or longer if you prefer).
  • After marinating time, add 1 cup of BBQ sauce to the bag and coat ribs. Allow them to come to room temperature in the bag.
  • In the mean time, slice the remaining pineapple into 1/2" thick rings and brush with BBQ sauce. I occasionally add a tsp of honey to the BBQ sauce for grilling --
  • Heat BBQ grill to 300 degrees. Place ribs on grill, and brush with BBQ sauce, turning frequently and basting with sauce, about 20 minutes, being careful not to let sauce burn. Reduce heat if necessary.
  • During the last 8 minutes of cooking, add the pineapple slices to the grill, turning once and allowing them to carmelize and brown with grill marks.
  • Remove ribs and pineapple to a serving platter and enjoy.
