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.

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 grandma2969

Categories     Pork

Time 10h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup marmalade
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 garlic clove, pressed
3 -4 lbs pork ribs, cut into serving pieces

Steps:

  • combine soy suace, marmalad, ketchup and garlic.mix well.
  • brush over ribs.
  • arrange in slow cooker; pour remaining sauce over ribs.
  • cover and heat on low setting for 10-12 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: For this recipe, baby back ribs or spare ribs are recommended. Baby back ribs are leaner and cook faster, while spare ribs have more meat and a richer flavor.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or membrane from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the ribs: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to season the ribs before cooking. This will help them develop a delicious crust and juicy interior.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: Slow cooking is the key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Cook them on low heat for at least 6 hours, or until the meat is easily pierced with a fork.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with the cooking liquid during the cooking process will help them stay moist and flavorful.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the ribs are cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker savory pork ribs are an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion.
