Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1 teaspoon salt
5 pounds meaty pork ribs
One 14-ounce bottle ketchup
One 12-ounce bottle chili sauce
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • For the ribs: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, molasses, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Put the ribs in a large, turkey-sized baking bag or sealable plastic bag. Support the bag in a 12-by-14-inch baking pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs and seal the bag. Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for a few hours, turning the bag occasionally to thoroughly coat the meat.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Drain and discard the marinade. Cut four slits in the top of the baking bag, if you are using one. Otherwise, remove the ribs, transfer them to the baking pan, and cover the pan with foil or a lid. Bake for 2 hours.
  • For the barbecue sauce: While the ribs are baking, blend the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
  • When the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the baking bag. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce and return them to the oven to bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer. Just before serving, throw the ribs under the broiler to give them a bit of a char.

FOOLPROOF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Foolproof Ribs with Barbecue Sauce image

Ina Garten's secret to perfect grilled ribs: Cook them in the oven first! "There are two great benefits of this method. First, instead of fussing with the heat of the coals, all I have to do is put the ribs in the oven, set a timer and forget about them. Second (and even better): I can make them ahead! Early in the day, I'll roast the ribs, and just before serving, I'll fire up the grill and barbecue them. All the fun of cooking outdoors and I never need to call 911!"

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds Danish baby back ribs (4 racks) or St. Louis ribs (2 racks)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Barbecue Sauce (recipe follows)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 cup (10 ounces) tomato paste
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup (8 ounces) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
  • About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.

BBQ BEEF RIBS



BBQ Beef Ribs image

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slabs BBQ beef ribs
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup apple juice
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
Pinch of cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for indirect heat using hickory and charcoal and heat to 250 degrees F.
  • Place the ribs on a clean cutting board and pull off the membrane, the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat.
  • For the rub: Whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, brown sugar, paprika, chile powder, cumin and pepper. Rub the beef ribs with the seasoning and place on a sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap, and if time, let marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
  • For the glaze: Add the maple syrup, apple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chile powder, cayenne, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until syrupy, about 8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon on occasion.
  • Remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Place the ribs meatier-side-down on the grill away from the coals. Cook the beef 3 hours, adding more coals as needed. Turn and cook until the ribs "bend" and the meat easily separates from the bone using a fork, about 45 minutes more. Brush on the glaze to the ribs and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and slice into individual ribs.

BBQ RIBS DRY RUB



BBQ Ribs Dry Rub image

This is a dry rub I've experimented with for a while. I put this on a couple racks of Pork ribs, marinaded overnight then cooked slow in my smoker. Wow did they turn out great! Wife and kids loved them. I put a homemade BBQ sauce on one rack and none on the other. Both were great but I think the one without sauce was better. Though this was cooked in a smoker, it could also be done in the oven or BBQ.

  • Cover with plastic wrap or vacuum seal bag and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat smoker/cooker to at least 250°F and keep between 250-300°F.
  • Pour 2 cups of the apple juice in water pan to steam the ribs with.
  • Add soaked hardwood chips or smoking wood of your choice to the smoker.
  • Amount of smoke is up to you.
  • After about 3 hours, internal temperature of the meat should be around 170°F In order to make the meat a bit more tender, wrap the ribs in foil and spray or drizzle some remaining apple juice on the ribs, closing the foil around them until desired tenderness is achieved. Don't drown the ribs in juice but moisten them, about another hour or so.
  • If sauce is desired, mop it on the ribs the last 30 minutes or so of cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for BBQ ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or country-style ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and more tender, while spare ribs and country-style ribs have more meat and a richer flavor.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the rub penetrate the meat better. You can also trim off any excess fat.
  • Use a good rub: A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the ribs before cooking. There are many different recipes for rubs, so you can choose one that suits your taste. Be sure to apply the rub generously to the ribs, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook BBQ ribs is low and slow. This allows the meat to become tender and fall off the bone. You can cook the ribs on a grill, in a smoker, or in an oven. If you are using a grill, be sure to use indirect heat. If you are using an oven, cook the ribs at a low temperature (225 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and butter will help to keep them moist and flavorful. Baste the ribs every 30 minutes or so during the cooking process.
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and delicious.

Conclusion:

BBQ ribs are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best BBQ ribs that will impress your friends and family. So fire up the grill or smoker and get cooking!
