APPLEBEE'S BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Applebee's Baby Back Ribs Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by nperry1006

Number Of Ingredients 8

BBQ Sauce:
3 racks (about 1 lb each) pork baby back ribs, each cut in half
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
3 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Put ribs in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour or until ribs are fork tender. Mix all sauce ingredients together in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring often, for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Heat broiler. Line broiler with foil for easy cleanup. Place ribs, mean side down, on broiler pan, brush with 1/2 the sauce and broil 4-5 inches from heat source for 6 to 7 minutes. Turn ribs over, brush with remaining sauce and broil 6 to 7 minutes longer or until edges are slightly charred.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect fall-off-the-bone texture, cook the ribs low and slow. Braising them in liquid for several hours helps tenderize the meat and allows the flavors to meld.
  • For a smoky flavor, use a combination of liquid smoke, paprika, and cumin. You can also add a touch of chili powder for a bit of heat.
  • Don't skimp on the brown sugar. It helps caramelize the ribs and gives them a delicious glaze.
  • If you don't have time to braise the ribs, you can bake them in the oven. Just be sure to cover them tightly with foil so they don't dry out.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or baked beans.
