Categories     main-dish

Time 3h7m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons finely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons celery salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 racks St. Louis-cut ribs

Steps:

  • To make the rib rub, combine all the ingredients. Rub over the surface of the ribs to coat.
  • Preheat a BBQ pit or an oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Rub both sides of the rack of ribs evenly with the rib rub. Place on the pit or in the oven, bone side sown, and roast for about 3 hours. About 15 minutes before the ribs are done, turn the rack over and let the other side get some color. (In the oven, turn the ribs occasionally, then broil to brown.) When the ribs are done, the rack relaxes and droops when you lift it at the center. Cut the ribs parallel to the bones and serve with lots of napkins.

TEXAS STYLE FALL OF THE BONE CROCK POT PORK RIBS

Categories     Pork

Time 5h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

cryovacor any brand pork ribs
1/4 cup favorite dry rub seasonings
1/4 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • This recipe is so simple and easy and tastes so delicious. I use the cryovac Kansas City style pork rib slabs, but any style would work except boneless pork ribs. With those you would need some kind of rack in the bottom of your crock pot so they don't rest in the accumulation of fat and juices while cooking. Rub the rack of ribs with your favorite dry rub. If you don't have a favorite, you can make a quick dry rub with seasoned salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder (or any combination of those). You can do a marinate over night, but I like the way the dry rubs taste. For easier clean up use a crock pot liner. Place the ribs in the crock standing on their side. No need to add any liquid. Cook on low for 8 or more hours, or on high for 5 hours. The ribs are done when you see them pulling away from the bone. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the ribs carefully from the crockpot and place on a flat pan, meaty side up. Brush or pour on and spread BBQ sauce, as much or as little as you like. Cook in oven for 10-15 minutes, just long enough to carmelize the sugars in the sauce. Remove from oven, slice into servings. Serve with potato salad, ranch beans, pickles and onions. Yummy!

Cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste ribs with sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling, so the sauce does not burn.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for pork ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove the excess fat and silver skin from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the ribs: Rub the ribs with a mixture of spices, herbs, and salt. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook pork ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs: Baste the ribs with a mixture of your favorite barbecue sauce or apple juice every 30 minutes or so. This will help to keep the ribs moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Texas Pork Ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips and tricks in this recipe, you can create fall-off-the-bone ribs that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your smoker or grill and give this recipe a try today!
