BBQ BEEF RIBS

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.

BEER-B-Q RIBS FOR TWO



Beer-B-Q Ribs for Two image

This Beer-B-Q Sauce is heaven. You'll want to drink it, but let's not do that. Rather, let's slather it on some ribs and grill 'em up, because it's darn tasty that way! Also, I should mention that you shouldn't skip the dry rub-and-baking part. Yes, it means longer prep time, but really, the oven is doing all the work for two hours, and you'll achieve fall-off-the-bone ribs.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/4 pounds baby back ribs (about 2 racks)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon stout beer
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
Pinch garlic powder
Pinch onion powder

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the silver skin on the backside of the ribs and discard. Place the racks of ribs on the prepared baking sheet, meaty-side up. (If the racks of ribs are too long for your baking sheet, arrange on 2 lined baking sheets, cutting the racks in half as necessary.)
  • For the dry rub: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle the rub generously on top of the ribs, saving just enough for a light rub on the underside. Tightly cover the entire baking sheet with another sheet of foil and bake until the meat falls easily off the bone when you pierce it with a fork, 2 1/2 hours.
  • For the beer-b-q sauce: Meanwhile combine the ketchup, beer, honey, Worcestershire, sugar, mustard, garlic powder and onion powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a grill for cooking at medium-high heat. Using a pastry brush, brush a medium layer of beer-b-q sauce on the meaty side of the ribs. Gently place the racks of ribs, meaty-side down, on the grill and cook until there is a nice char on the meat, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest for another 5 minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite sides!

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Four 1-pound beef short ribs
Sea salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill grate
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, peeled
5 stalks lemon grass, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 two-inch piece ginger, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed with side of knife
3 1/4-inch slices fresh ginger

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Season the ribs all over with salt. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and brown on all sides, turning with tongs, 5 minutes a side. Transfer to a platter and pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
  • Add the onion, carrots, garlic, lemon grass and ginger to the pot. Cook over high heat until lightly browned, 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar and 3 cups water, and bring to a boil. Return the ribs to the pot, immersing them in the liquid. Tightly cover and bake, turning the ribs once or twice until very tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Let the ribs cool in the liquid, then drain well. (Ribs can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
  • For the glaze: In a heavy saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and simmer over medium heat until thick, about 10 minutes. Strain.
  • Prepare a grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil the grate. Cook the ribs until dark brown all over, 3 to 5 minutes a side, basting with the glaze. Serve with the remaining glaze drizzled on top or passed separately in a bowl.

BARBECUED RIBS OF BEEF WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE



Barbecued ribs of beef with béarnaise sauce image

Get the barbecue out for a summery take on a traditional roast with our ribs of beef with béarnaise sauce, served with roasties and veg.

Provided by Jack Stein

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 separate rib steaks on the bone (côte de boeuf), about 600g each
roast potatoes glazed carrots with tarragon & chives and warm runner beans, to serve (optional, see below)
225g unsalted butter
1 tbsp chopped tarragon
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 egg yolks (freeze the whites for another recipe)

Steps:

  • Light the barbecue - you want the coals to be glowing hot. Meanwhile, if you're making your own béarnaise, put the butter in a small pan over a very low heat and leave to melt. Skim off any scum from the surface and pour the clear (clarified) butter into a bowl, leaving behind the milky white solids that settle at the bottom.
  • Tip the tarragon, shallots, vinegar, 1 tbsp water and ½ tsp black pepper into another small pan and boil rapidly until the liquid has reduced to 1 tbsp. Put the egg yolks and 1 tbsp water in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl isn't touching the water, and whisk vigorously until voluminous and creamy. Remove the bowl from the pan and gradually whisk in the clarified butter until you have a thick, creamy sauce. Stir in the tarragon and shallot reduction and season with salt. Scrape into a serving bowl and keep warm in the oven on a low heat.
  • Season the ribs well on both sides. Barbecue for 9-10 mins on each side for rare (it should read about 55C on a meat thermometer) or 11-13 mins each side for medium-rare (60-65C). Remove and leave to rest for 10 mins. To serve, cut off the bone and carve the meat into long, thin slices. Serve with the béarnaise sauce, potatoes, carrots and runner beans, if you like (see below).

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select meaty beef ribs with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the tough membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure they cook evenly and the sauce penetrates the meat.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub: This will enhance the taste of the ribs and help them stay moist during cooking.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: This allows the collagen in the ribs to break down, resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting helps keep the ribs moist and adds extra flavor.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful rib.

Conclusion:

Barbecued beef ribs are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for special occasions or casual gatherings. By following these tips, you can create tender, flavorful ribs that will impress your family and friends. So fire up your grill or smoker and get ready to enjoy some amazing barbecue!
