Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons hot paprika
4 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 racks baby back ribs (each about 1 3/4 pounds), membranes removed
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar

Balsamic Potato Salad, for serving

Steps:

Switch oven to broil, with a rack 6 inches from heating element. Stir together vinegar and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Brush ribs with half of glaze. Broil until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h40m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 18-ounce bone-in rib-eye steak, about 1 1/2-inches thick
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 large egg
6 or 7 leaves baby arugula

Steps:

  • For the marinade: The day before you plan on cooking your steak, place the rib-eye in a resealable baggie along with the olive oil, rosemary, thyme and garlic. Move the herbs and garlic around in the bag to coat the steak with all the flavors. Refrigerate overnight.
  • For the steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Place the steak on the grill pan and sear for 5 minutes without moving the steak. Flip the steak and repeat on the other side. Remove the steak to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes for medium doneness. Allow the steak to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons olive oil, rosemary, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and slide in the egg, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently cook the egg until the white is just set and the yolk is still soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the rested steak to a serving plate. Scatter the arugula over the steak and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the herb oil. Lay the egg, sunny-side up, over the top. Drizzle with the remaining herb oil and season with a few grinds of black pepper.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 racks of baby back ribs
Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup espresso
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cut each rack of ribs in half and season with salt and pepper. Stack the ribs on a foil-covered baking sheet, in two piles of 3 pieces. Bake in the oven about 2-1/2 hours, or until tender, rotating the ribs every 30 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven and cover them with foil to keep them moist and tender.
  • Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and espresso. Place the olive oil and garlic in a small saute pan. Cook over low heat for about 1 minute, or until it turns a golden brown. Remove from heat. Add to the honey mixture. Place the honey mixture in a saucepan and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • To complete: Brush the BBQ sauce on both sides of the ribs, and arrange them in a single layer. Place the ribs on an outdoor grill or in a 425 degree F oven. Turn and baste the ribs as they cook. Remove when the ribs are glazed and tender, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • For fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, cook them low and slow in the oven at 275°F (135°C) for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).
  • Use a flavorful rub to add lots of taste to your ribs. A good rub recipe typically includes a mix of spices, herbs, and brown sugar.
  • Enhance the flavor of your ribs by marinating them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and spices.
  • Place the ribs on a wire rack in a baking dish to allow the air to circulate around them and promote even cooking.
  • Baste the ribs with the marinade or a barbecue sauce every 30 minutes or so to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become even more tender.

Conclusion:

Tuscan ribs are a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With a little bit of preparation and attention to detail, you can easily create fall-off-the-bone tender ribs at home that taste even better than your favorite restaurant's version.
