SPICE-RUBBED RIBS

Spice-Rubbed Ribs image

For grilling, here's the rub I recommend. It's made with a wonderful blend of spices. If you have some left after making ribs, put it in a shaker and use it another day on pork or beef roasts, tenderloins, steaks and more. It's great alone or under sauce. -Cheryl Ewing, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania

BEST-EVER COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS

Best-Ever Country-Style Ribs image

I found this recipe years ago in a magazine and it has become a favorite. They are not only the best-ever, but also the easiest-ever. These finger-licking ribs start with a dry spice rub and end with an out-of-this-world sauce. And, they have one other distinct advantage: They're cooked mostly in advance, so they require very little last-minute tending. For a finishing touch, all you need to do is give them a quick crisping on the grill (or under the broiler.) Preparation time does not include marinating.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dry rub seasonings, recipe follows (I usually use a little more)
4 lbs country-style pork ribs (I prefer bone-in, but you could use boneless)
3 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups beer (beer is better) or 1 1/2 cups water (beer is better)
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (such as French's yellow mustard)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark, doesn't matter)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Rub Dry Rub all over ribs. Place in a glass baking dish; cover and refrigerate several hours or, even better, overnight.
Stir together ketchup, beer (or water), vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar (add more, if you like your sauce sweeter), oregano, basil, thyme, and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
Transfer ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Reserve 1 cup sauce for basting later; pour remainder over ribs. Cover pot and cook the ribs over low heat for about 45 minutes or until ribs are tender. (Ribs may be prepared up to a day ahead and refrigerated.).
Prepare grill or heat broiler. Remove ribs from sauce; discard sauce. Spread ribs with half the reserved sauce.
Cook ribs over medium coals (or medium direct heat on a gas grill) or broil until crispy and browned, about 5 minutes. Turn ribs over. Spread with remaining sauce. Cook 5 minutes more.
DRY RUB for COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS: Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons dried lemon peel (found in the spice section of your supermarket), 3 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika in a small bowl. Store unused dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Tips:

Choose high-quality spare ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of cartilage.
Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or cartilage from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will also make them more tender.
Make the spice rub ahead of time: The spice rub can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make the ribs even more flavorful.
Let the ribs rest before cooking: After you have applied the spice rub, let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat and will also help the ribs to cook more evenly.
Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook spare ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ribs: The ribs are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baste the ribs with sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will help the ribs to develop a nice glaze and will also add extra flavor.
Let the ribs rest before serving: After the ribs are done cooking, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs and will make them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Spare ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a summer cookout, a family dinner, or a party. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make delicious spare ribs at home.
