This recipe is easier than it sounds. I usually cook the ribs the day before and grill them for a quick dinner the next night. FYI: the sauce is much better after it is cooked. It is not a dipping sauce.

Provided by [email protected]

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 (approx. 3 1/2 lb.) rack pork baby back ribs, remove sinew (silverskin) from back
1 large sheet foil, sprayed
¾ cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. sweet smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp. hickory smoked salt
1 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp.dried tarragon
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. ground anise seed powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. instant espresso powder
1/2 cup good root beer, (*regular, not diet)
1 cup sweet thick barbecue sauce such as Sweet Baby Ray's
1/2 cup root beer
1 Tbl. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cajun seasoning such as Slap Ya Mama
1/4 tsp. instant espresso powder
1/4 tsp. ground anise seed powder
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 Tbl. butter, salted or unsalted (add last when done)

Steps:

  • For Ribs:
  • Rinse ribs if needed and pat dry. Remove sinew from back. Place meaty side-up onto a large piece of heavy duty foil that has been sprayed in the center the size of the ribs.
  • In small bowl mix together the Dry Rub ingredients until very well mixed. Dump half of it onto the ribs and pat on evenly. Turn ribs over to bone side-up, and coat bone side with rub well, too. Bring up sides and ends, pour in half (1/4 cup) of the root beer into foil pouch lifting ribs up so it gets underneath. Drizzle rest (1/4 cup) over top of ribs, then roll down sides of foil to just touch ribs, then roll up ends to seal. Be careful not to tear foil! Place foil-wrapped rack of ribs onto foil-lined large baking sheet. Let marinate for several hours or overnight, or just bake now.
  • Place into preheated 300º F oven and bake for 2½ hours. (Make sauce while ribs are baking).
  • When done, remove from oven. Remove ribs carefully from foil onto another foil-lined baking sheet bone side-up. I do this with large grilling spatulas for ease. Turn oven up to 350º.
  • While oven temp is rising, coat bone side with half of the sauce. When oven is done preheating, pop back in and bake for 3-5 minutes until just bubbling.
  • Remove from oven, turn ribs over, coat meaty side with rest of sauce, pop back into oven and bake again until just bubbly, another few minutes. Watch so that they don't burn!
  • Cut into pieces and let rest a few minutes before serving as sauce will be very hot.
  • For Sauce:
  • In medium saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except butter, stir well to mix. Heat over medium-low heat until simmering. Simmer for about 5 - 8 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Cover and set aside.

PERFECT ROOT BEER BBQ SAUCE



Perfect Root Beer BBQ Sauce image

BBQ Sauce from USA Sunday paper by Guy Fieri. Used on Country Style ribs that I used his "Guy's Righteous Ribs" recipe. I actually cooked the ribs after putting the rub on them in the crock pot and drained the liquid off and applied the BBQ sauce and let cook on low an additional 30 min. So good. Prep and cooking time does not include cool down of root beer.

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup root beer
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon mild-flavored (light) molasses
1 teaspoon liquid smoke*
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • *Smoke-flavored liquid seasoning is available at specialty foods stores and many supermarkets.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality pork ribs: Choose ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Baby back ribs and spare ribs are both popular choices.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality root beer: The root beer is the key ingredient in the BBQ sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a root beer that is dark and flavorful.
  • Simmer the ribs in the root beer sauce: This will help to tenderize the ribs and infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help to ensure that the ribs are cooked through and fall off the bone.
  • Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will help to caramelize the sauce and give the ribs a delicious glaze.

Conclusion:

Root beer BBQ ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender and fall off the bone, and the BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
