This is an adapted family recipe. It is a lot of work, but worth the effort. If you do not have a slow cooker, you can bake the ribs for 2 to 3 hours, covered, in the oven.

Time 5h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 pounds pork baby back ribs
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch salt
1 pinch crushed red pepper
4 cups barbecue sauce
2 (12 ounce) bottles porter beer, room temperature

Steps:

  • Cut ribs into small portions of 2 or 3 bones each. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season water a pinch each of salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper to the water. Boil ribs in seasoned water for 20 minutes. Drain, and let the ribs sit for about a half an hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
  • Lightly coat the ribs with barbecue sauce. Cook the ribs over high heat for a 5 to 10 minutes on each side to get a nice grilled look to them.
  • Place grilled ribs in a slow cooker. Pour remaining barbecue sauce and one bottle of beer over the ribs; this should cover at least half of the ribs. Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours. Check ribs every hour or so, and add more beer if needed to dilute sauce. Stir to get the ribs on top into the sauce. The ribs are done when the meat is falling off the bone. The ribs were cooked completely in the first process, the rest is about flavor and texture.

THE MOST AMAZING TASTING RIBS IN THE WORLD!



The Most Amazing Tasting Ribs in the World! image

I actually got the basic idea from a Weber's Charcoal Grilling cook book, although I used a totally different barbecue sauce. This is the first time I've ever slow cooked ribs over charcoal and believe me - it really does make a huge difference. We've been doing ribs for years by boiling them, and then baking or barbecuing them and we've always enjoyed them. But slow cooking them over live fire just seems to add something that you can't get anywhere else! If you've got the time, and they're done right, you are going to love these!

Provided by Chef Ryoni

Categories     Pork

Time 3h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons paprika
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 (2 -2 1/2 lb) baby back ribs, racks 2 - 2 1/2 pounds each
hickory chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes (2 large handfuls)
1 cup kraft chick'n rib barbecue sauce
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons liquid honey
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons butter
2 -3 tablespoons barbecue sauce (from above)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix rub ingredients.
  • Season ribs all over, putting more on the meaty side than on the bone side. Do not press spices into the meat. Put ribs in a rib rack all facing the same direction.
  • Make sure the charcoal in your barbecue covers no more than 1/3 of the grate. Place a large disposable drip pan on the other side of the charcoal grate. Fill the pan about half way with warm water.
  • Drain 1 hand full of hickory chips and place them on top of the charcoal. Put the cooking grate in place. Place the rib rack over the drip pan as far from the charcoal as possible, with the bone sides facing the charcoal. Close the lid. Close the top vent about halfway. Let the ribs cook and smoke for about one hour. Maintain temperature between 250°F and 300°F by opening and closing the top vent. Meanwhile, make the sauce and the mop.
  • In a small saucepan mix the barbeque sauce ingredients. Simmer for a few minutes over medium heat, and then remove the sauce pan from the heat.
  • In another small saucepan mix the mop ingredients. Simmer over medium heat for a few minutes to melt the butter, and then remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • After the first hour of cooking add 8 - 10 charcoal briquettes and the remaining handful of hickory chips (drained) to the fire. At the same time lightly baste the ribs with some mop. Leaving the lid off for a few minutes while you mop the ribs will help the new briquettes to light. Close the lid and cook for another hour. During that time maintain the temperature at 250°F - 300°F by opening and closing the top vent.
  • After another hour of cooking add 8 to 10 more briquettes to the fire. Remove the ribs from the rib rack, spread them over a clean work surface, and based them generously with the mop sauce. You may add 2 more tablespoons of barbecue sauce to the mop sauce if you wish. Put them back in the rib rack, again all facing the same direction, but this time turned over so that the ends facing down earlier now face up. Also, reposition any ribs that appear to be cooking faster to the back of the rib rack, farther from the charcoal. Let the ribs cook for a 3rd hour. During that time, maintain temperature of 250°F - 300°F.
  • After 3 hours of cooking, check to see if any racks are ready to come off the grill. They are done when the meat has shrunk back from most of the bones by 1/4 inch or more. When you lift a rack by picking it up from one end with tongs, the rack should bend in the middle and the meat should tear easily. If the meat does not tear easily, continue to cook the ribs. The total cooking time could be anywhere from 3 to 4 1/2 hours. Not all racks will cook in the same amount of time. Baste the ribs with the barbeque sauce and, if desired for crispiness, cook them over direct heat for a few minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and tightly cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 - 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with the remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs. Look for ribs with good marbling and a bright red color.
  • Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to allow the rub to penetrate better. Cut the ribs into individual portions or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
  • Use a Flavorful Rub: Create a flavorful rub using a combination of spices, herbs, and salt. Common ingredients include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Apply the Rub Generously: Apply the rub liberally to all sides of the ribs, ensuring that they are evenly coated. Allow the ribs to rest for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Choose Your Cooking Method: You can cook ribs in the oven, on a grill, or in a smoker. Each method imparts a unique flavor and texture to the ribs.
  • Maintain Proper Temperature: When cooking ribs in the oven, maintain a low and slow temperature of around 225°F (107°C) to allow the meat to cook evenly and tenderize.
  • Monitor the Ribs: Keep an eye on the ribs as they cook, basting them occasionally with their juices or a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water to prevent them from drying out.
  • Check for Tenderness: To test if the ribs are done, insert a toothpick or skewer into the thickest part of the meat. If it slides in easily, the ribs are ready.
  • Allow the Ribs to Rest: Once cooked, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful ribs.

Conclusion:

Creating delicious and fall-off-the-bone ribs is an art form that requires patience, attention to detail, and a commitment to using high-quality ingredients and techniques. Experiment with different rubs, cooking methods, and flavors to discover your perfect rib recipe. Whether you prefer the smoky taste of grilled ribs or the convenience of oven-baked ribs, the journey to becoming a master of ribs is a flavorful and rewarding experience.
