Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (3-pound) slabs pork spareribs
Hickory chips
Southwest Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons reserved spice rub
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup peach nectar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small glass bowl to create the spice rub. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture for the BBQ Sauce.
  • Rinse and the dry ribs, then put on a clean cutting board and pull off the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with the spice rub. Wrap the ribs with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so flavors can develop and permeate the meat.
  • Soak the wood chips in water for 1 hour before grilling.
  • Preheat the grill to 250 degrees F. Using the hickory and charcoal, set up the grill for indirect heat.
  • Arrange the ribs, meatier side down, on the far side of the grill away from the coals. Close the cover of the grill and cook the ribs for 3 hours. Turn and cook until the ribs bend, about 1 more hour.
  • You will need to check on the charcoal and chips during the smoking process and replenish as needed. You will also need to maintain a temperature of 250 degrees F.
  • Remove ribs from grill to a cutting board and sprinkle with more spice rub. Cut each slab into individual ribs and transfer to a serving platter. Serve the ribs with Southwest Barbecue Sauce.
  • For dry ribs: Sprinkle Neely's BBQ seasoning over the ribs, cut between the bones and serve.
  • Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onions are soft. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer until thick and the sauce is flavorful, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.

SOUS-VIDE RIB STEAKS WITH SPICY SALSA VERDE



Sous-Vide Rib Steaks With Spicy Salsa Verde image

When you invest in really good rib steaks, you don't want to mess things up. Cooking them with a sous-vide machine until they are done to taste, then searing them on the grill until charred at the edges gives you the ultimate control.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, barbecues, meat, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 bone-in rib steaks, each 1 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste or finely grated
6 fresh thyme sprigs
Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1 serrano chile or jalapeño, halved, seeded and minced
1 garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon harissa or other hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Generously season steaks all over with salt and pepper. Rub garlic paste evenly over meat, then cover with thyme sprigs. Place steaks in a sous-vide bag and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
  • Fill a pot with water, add the sous-vide machine and set the temperature to your ideal steak temperature, 122 to 126 degrees for rare.
  • Lower bag into heated water, weighing it down if necessary to submerge. Cook steaks for 1 1/2 hours. If you'd like to dry out the cooked meat to get a better char, place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate for 6 to 36 hours. Otherwise, you can go straight to searing and serving.
  • When ready to serve, light the grill, or heat the broiler and place a rack 4 inches from heating element.
  • Remove thyme from meat and pat meat dry if you didn't already let it dry out. Grill or broil steaks until charred all over, 2 to 5 minutes total. (Make sure to char the fat on the bone as well as both meaty sides.) Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa verde: In a large bowl, stir together the cilantro, mint, thyme, scallions, chile, garlic, lime juice, harissa, cumin, salt and pepper until well combined. Whisk in the olive oil, then taste and add more salt and lime juice, if needed.
  • To serve, slice steak and drizzle with salsa verde, making sure to stir it well to distribute the herbs before using. Season with flaky salt if you like, and freshly ground black pepper.

LOW 'N' SLOW RIB STEAK WITH CUBAN MOJO SALSA



Low 'n' slow rib steak with Cuban mojo salsa image

This recipe guarantees steak heaven without the stress, the cooking method means it will never overcook. Served with a chilli, lime and coriander salsa - this is a treat for two!

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 rib steak on the bone or côte du boeuf (about 800g)
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 garlic clove
2 thyme sprigs
25g butter , chopped into small pieces
sweet potato fries
a dressed salad , to serve
2 limes
1 small orange
½ small bunch mint , finely chopped
small bunch coriander , finely chopped
4 spring onions , finely chopped
1 small garlic clove , crushed
1 fat green chilli , finely chopped
4 tbsp extra virgin rapeseed oil or olive oil

Steps:

  • Leave the beef at room temperature for about 1 hr before you cook it. Heat oven to 60C/40C fan/gas 1 /4 if you like your beef medium rare, or 65C/45C fan/gas 1 /4 for medium. (Cooking at these low temperatures will be more accurate in an electric oven than in a gas one. If using gas, put the oven on the lowest setting you have, and be aware that the cooking time may be shorter.)
  • Put the unseasoned beef in a heavy-based ovenproof frying pan. Cook in the middle of the oven for 3 hrs undisturbed.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa. Zest the limes and orange into a bowl. Cut each in half and place, cut-side down, in a hot pan. Cook for a few mins until the fruits are charred, then squeeze the juice into the bowl. Add the other ingredients and season well.
  • When the beef is cooked, it should look dry on the surface, and dark pink in colour. If you have a meat thermometer, test the internal temperature - it should be 58-60C. Remove the pan from the oven and set over a high heat on the hob. Add the oil and sear the meat on both sides for a few mins until caramelised. Sear the fat for a few mins too. Smash the garlic clove with the heel of your hand and add this to the pan with the thyme and butter. When the butter is foaming, spoon it over the beef and cook for another 1-2 mins. Transfer the beef to a warm plate, cover with foil, and leave to rest for 5-10 mins. Carve away from the bone and into slices before serving with the salsa, fries and salad.

SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS



Southwestern-Style Baby Back Ribs image

I once considered making more authentic smoked ribs for a tailgate party and, in the planning, realized that not only would I need to be at the parking lot hours before everyone else, but my grill was not large enough to smoke enough ribs for everyone in my party. And to try to pass off just "a taste" of barbecued ribs is like trying to arm-tackle Priest Holmes. So it was a choice between shelling out for another grill or devising another method of cooking the ribs. Baking them first in a slow oven produced moist, flavorful meat I then had only to finish on the grill.

Provided by Bob Sloan

Categories     Pork     Bake     Spice     Fall     Tailgating     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 racks baby back ribs, about 5 pounds
3 cups barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • At home
  • In a small bowl, mix together the thyme, garlic, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the ribs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Unwrap the ribs and place them on a baking sheet. Cover completely with foil. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove the foil and let the ribs cool. Refrigerate them, wrapped in plastic, until you are ready to pack, up to 24 hours.
  • Just before leaving, cut the racks into individual ribs and place them in a large, sealable plastic container. Add 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir so all the ribs are coated.
  • At the tailgate
  • Prepare coals for a medium fire. When the coals are hot, grill the ribs for 10 minutes, until they are lightly charred and heated through, turning them several times and applying several more moppings of sauce.
  • Serve the ribs hot, accompanied by more sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the rib roast is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The roast is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • Allow the rib roast to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become more tender.
  • For a more flavorful roast, marinate the beef in the salsa mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Serve the rib roast with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This Southwest rib roast with salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The combination of the tender beef, flavorful salsa, and smoky chipotle peppers is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple steps, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that will impress your guests.
