STOVETOP SMOKED BABY BACK RIBS WITH MAPLE BBQ SAUCE



Stovetop Smoked Baby Back Ribs with Maple BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
One 2- to 2 1/2-pound rack pork baby back ribs
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup good-quality maple syrup
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Put 4 cups hickory wood chips into a container and cover with 4 cups of water. Allow the chips to soak for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, assemble the dry rub for the ribs. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and chili powder.
  • Cut the rib rack into 4 pieces. Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet and put the ribs on top. Let the ribs come to room temperature, then rub the meat all over with the dry rub.
  • Set up a stovetop smoker: Make a shallow bowl out of heavy-duty aluminum foil that fits into a 5- to 7-quart Dutch oven, with the sides of the aluminum bowl coming 2 inches up the sides of the pot; put it in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Put the soaked and drained wood chips over the aluminum foil in an even layer. Put a small round of aluminum foil on top of the wood chips. Put a 6-inch steamer basket (make sure the handle is attached in the center for easy removal) on top of the aluminum round. Transfer the smoker to the stovetop.
  • Put the ribs in the steamer basket; it is okay if the pieces overlap slightly. Cover the smoker and create a strong seal by wrapping the rim of the lid with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Turn the heat to medium high and smoke the ribs for 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully remove the aluminum foil seal and lid.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Remove the ribs and steamer basket from the Dutch oven and set aside. Remove the remaining foil and wood chips carefully, as grease from the ribs may have dripped down; use tongs to lift the wood chips and foil bowl out and transfer them to a baking sheet to cool before discarding. Put the ribs back into the empty Dutch oven and cover with the lid. Slow roast until the ribs are completely tender, an additional 2 hours. The meat should pull away from the bones very easily.
  • Meanwhile, pour the ketchup, maple syrup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire and soy sauce into a small saucepot and stir to combine. Place over medium heat and heat just until simmering. Keep warm.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and brush the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce. Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Broil the ribs until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

MAPLE BOURBON SMOKED RIBS



Maple Bourbon Smoked Ribs image

Maple Bourbon Smoked Ribs are a delectable dinner that are simply bursting with flavor. They're slow smoked, wrapped in Reynolds Wrap Foil, braised with a maple bourbon marinade, and glazed with a sinful maple bourbon glaze.

Provided by Susie Bulloch (heygrillhey.com)

Categories     Main Course

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 racks baby back ribs
4 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub
½ cup bourbon
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
8 Tablespoons butter
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup bourbon
2 Tablespoons ketchup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat smoker to 225 degrees F.
  • Remover the membrane from the ribs and season on both sides with Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub.
  • Place ribs on smoker and smoke for 3 hours.
  • Lay out two sheets of 18-inch wide Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty foil side by side on a large work surface. Put 2 Tablespoons of butter on each sheet of foil. Sprinkle each with 1 Tablespoons of brown sugar.
  • Remove the ribs form the smoker, place them meat side down onto the butter and brown sugar. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil without crimping to create a bowl (this is going to hold in the foiling liquid).
  • Pour the maple syrup, bourbon and remaining butter onto the ribs.
  • Bring together the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Fold the foil together and then roll until the foil is tight against the ribs. Double fold the two short ends to completely seal the ribs in the foil. Place them back on smoker for 2 more hours.
  • While your ribs are smoking, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 mins until the glaze reaches a syrupy consistency.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil. Return them to the smoker and baste them with the glaze. Close the lid and smoke for additional 30-60 minutes or until the sauce is set and ribs are tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are a popular choice for smoking, as they are tender and flavorful. Spare ribs are also a good option, but they are a bit tougher and take longer to cook.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the smoke and seasonings penetrate the meat better. You can also trim off any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs: There are many different ways to season ribs. Some popular options include a dry rub, a wet rub, or a combination of the two. Experiment to find the flavors that you like best.
  • Smoke the ribs: Smoke the ribs over indirect heat at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take several hours, so be patient. You can use a smoker, a grill, or even a Dutch oven to smoke the ribs.
  • Glaze the ribs: Once the ribs are cooked through, you can glaze them with a maple glaze or your favorite barbecue sauce. This will add a delicious flavor and shine to the ribs.

Conclusion:

Spicy smoked back ribs with maple glaze are a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these ribs at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above and you'll be rewarded with a rack of ribs that is fall-off-the-bone tender and full of flavor.
