2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

BABY BACK RIBS



Baby Back Ribs image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 17h30m

Yield 2 servings (half slab per person)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup turbinado sugar, ground
1/4 cup kosher salt
6 tablespoons Spanish paprika
4 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
One 2.25-pound slab of baby back pork ribs (also known as loin-back ribs)
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, for glazing, optional

Steps:

  • For the rub: The day before cooking, mix the turbinado sugar, salt, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, ground mustard, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
  • For the ribs: Take a slab of ribs and turn over so the curved side is up. Using your fingernail or a knife, pry under the membrane until you can put your finger under it and then pull it off.
  • Sprinkle this side of the ribs with about 1 tablespoon rub, and then about 1 tablespoon yellow mustard. Use the mustard to help evenly distribute the seasoning. Turn the ribs over and repeat the process. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
  • To cook, start a smoker and bring the temp to 200 degrees F. Use apple or cherry wood chunks to provide smoke and flavor. Place the ribs in the smoker, curved side down. Smoke for 2 hours at 200 degrees F, and then raise the temperature to 250 degrees F for about 2 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness by testing if the bones will pull apart with a slight bit of pressure. If they are still tough, allow to cook for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the smoker. For dry-style ribs, sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon rub. For wet-style ribs, glaze with the BBQ sauce.

Time 4h10m

Yield 45 pounds ribs

Number Of Ingredients 22

45 pounds baby back ribs, diamond scored on bone side
2 quarts Rib Spice, recipe follows
Salt and pepper
3 quarts porter or other dark beer
3 quarts vegetable stock
5 white onions, julienned
Molasses Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup chili powder
1/2 cup granulated onion
1/2 cup salt and pepper, mixed
1/2 cup salt and pepper, mixed
1/4 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup dried oregano
2 cups ketchup, such as Heinz

4 1/2 tablespoons steak sauce, such as A1
1/4 pound brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon granulated onion

Steps:

  • Rub the ribs liberally with the Rib Spice and let them sit, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Prepare a charcoal grill.
  • Season the ribs with salt and pepper. When the coals are very hot, grill the ribs for 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Arrange the ribs in roasting pans. Pour the beer and vegetable stock over the ribs and spread the onions over the top.
  • Cover each roasting pan with plastic wrap and heavy-duty aluminum foil. There should be no holes in the plastic wrap or the foil. Braise the ribs until a bone comes out with minimal resistance when pulled, about 2 hours. Do not over-braise.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and foil and let the ribs cool in their braising liquid.
  • To serve, prepare a charcoal grill. Warm the ribs over medium heat and baste with the Molasses Barbeque Sauce. Serve hot.
  • Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, granulated onion, salt and pepper, granulated garlic and dried oregano in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
  • Combine the ketchup, molasses, vinegar and steak sauce in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once the mixture comes to a simmer add the sugar, chili powder, granulated garlic and granulated onion. Stir the sauce often to prevent the sugars from scorching and do not allow the sauce to boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Yield: enough for 3 racks of ribs.

Time 8h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 lbs pork baby back ribs
36 ounces beer
3 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 cups Heinz Chili Sauce
1 cup beer
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Prepare your ribs by rinsing them off and removing the membrane on the back (slide a sharp knife under there to loosen it, then grab it with something dry like a paper towel and pull it off).
  • You may cut your ribs into sections before brining, if desired.
  • Mix together beer, salt, brown sugar, celery seed, cayenne pepper, black pepper and liquid smoke in a saucepan.
  • Heat over low heat, stirring gently until all the salt dissolves; allow to cool.
  • Place rib sections in a large ziplock or resealable bag and pour the cooled brine over; squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag.
  • Allow the ribs to brine in this mixture, for 6 hours or overnight, rotating bag occasionally.
  • Prior to cooking, remove ribs from brine and pat dry; discard used brine.
  • Using a drip pan, prepare a grill for indirect cooking.
  • Place the ribs over the drip pan and grill using indirect medium heat (test by placing your hand over the heat- you should be able to keep it there for about 3 seconds).
  • Cover grill and cook for 1 1/2- 1 3/4 hours or until the ribs are tender, and the meat has pulled back from the edges of the bone slightly.
  • Add additional coals during cooking if needed.
  • Baste with honey bbq sauce during the last minutes of cooking, allowing the sauce to set.
  • To make the sauce, cook onion and garlic in oil in a small saucepan until the onions become tender.
  • Add the chili sauce, beer, honey, Worcestershire sauce and mustard to the pan, stirring to mix well.
  • Bring sauce to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it is as thick as you like it.
  • Use sauce on ribs as a baste; sauce can be prepared ahead.

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 4h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 rack baby back pork ribs, outer membrane removed
4 ounces apple juice
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
¼ tablespoon garlic powder
¼ tablespoon onion powder
¼ tablespoon ground coriander
¼ tablespoon dry mustard
⅛ tablespoon cayenne pepper
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup bourbon whiskey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 clove garlic, finely minced
½ tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl and mix together well.
  • Tear a large enough piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to place rack of ribs on it and be able to fully cover, meat side up. Evenly coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it in with your hands.
  • Fold up the sides of the foil to create a rim, and pour the apple juice in around the ribs. Fold the foil over the ribs and crimp it to create a tight seal. Tear off one more piece of large foil and wrap the whole thing again to ensure a tight seal.
  • Place the wrapped ribs in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F and cook ribs for about 4 hours. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they shouldn't be falling off the bone.
  • Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken and reduce by about a third, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat grill to high heat. Cover the grill rack with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place the cooked ribs meat side up on the grill and brush the top with a layer of sauce. Close grill until the sauce is mostly dried, about 5 minutes. Brush another layer of sauce on top and close grill for an additional 5 minutes. Remove ribs from grill and lightly brush with one more layer of sauce.
  • Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.
