THE BEST EVER BBQ PORK RIBS



The Best Ever BBQ Pork Ribs image

BBQ Ribs are my passion!!! I've tried several different rib recipes & I have an earlier Rib recipe posted on Zaar, but this even beats that one!!! First of all, DO NOT BOIL RIBS!!!...it takes away the flavor & is just plain WRONG!!! Second, they shouldn't "fall-off-the-bone"...they should be tender, but sort of "SNAP-OFF" the bone!!! Third, everyone has their own favorite "rub" & "sauce"...give Recipe #410170 and/or Recipe #268574 or use whatever works best for YOU!!! I prefer my ribs smoked, but that's me. These ribs are good either way!!! You can mop them with sauce is desired, but I prefer not to. PLEASE READ DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2-4 half racks, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 -2 pork rib rack (Baby Back or St. Louis)
seasoning (Rib Rub)
barbecue sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°.
  • Cut ribs in half & generously apply rub on both sides, massaging it into the meat.
  • Wrap each half tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Place each in a shallow pan with sides.
  • Bake for 3 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce.
  • NOTE: If you want them BROWNED, carefully remove the ribs from the foil. Place under broiler or on grill until desired, but watch carefully so not to burn -- 10-12 minutes each side should be sufficient.
  • NOTE 2: If you want them SMOKED, carefully remove the ribs from the foil. Place on grill, using indirect method -- smoke for about an hour. I recommend Apple or Hickory.
  • DO NOT soak wood chips/chunks in water! Wood doesn't absorb much water, so all you're doing is cooling off the coals.
  • ENJOY!

Categories     Pork

Time 4h

Yield 4-6 depends on size of rack, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 racks of baby-back pork ribs
3 tablespoons mustard powder
3 tablespoons onion powder
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cayenne powder
3 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory flavored barbecue sauce
1 (18 ounce) bottle honey-flavored barbecue sauce
3/4 cup light brown sugar
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F.
  • Wash ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Set on rimmed baking sheet or in a large roasted pan. Place mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, allspice powder, chili powder, cayenne, Lowry's seasoned salt, salt and pepper in a gallon-sized re-closable plastic bag, or a pizza spice shaker container, and shake vigorously to mix well. Pour half seasoned rub mixture onto one side of the ribs and massage into flesh. Turn ribs over and pour the remaining rub mixture onto other side of ribs and massage into flesh. Cover ribs fully with a large sheet of heavy duty tin foil, rolling edges of foil under and into baking sheet to make an air proof seal. I leave them in the frige overnight to merinate well. I don't know if this is what makes them so tender, but they are! Place in oven and cook for 3 hours.
  • Remove from oven, carefully unseal foil - keep your hands and face a way from the hot steam. Heat grill to high. Place barbecue sauces, brown sugar, garlic, liquid smoke and cider vinegar into a medium-sized sauce pan, stir to combine. Using a large pastry brush, baste generously with sauce. Place sauce over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Place ribs on grill and cook, about 4-6 minutes a side, 8-12 minutes total.
  • Remove to a cutting board, cut into 2-3 rib portions, place on serving platter and serve with remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 pounds baby back pork ribs (8 racks) or St. Louis-style spareribs (4 racks)
Low-salt chicken broth (optional)
1 1/2 cups store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce plus more

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place each rack of ribs on a double layer of foil; sprinkle rub all over ribs. Wrap racks individually and divide between 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake ribs until very tender but not falling apart, about 2 hours for baby backs and 3 hours for spareribs. Carefully unwrap ribs; pour any juices from foil into a 4-cup heatproof measuring cup; reserve juices. Let ribs cool completely. DO AHEAD: Ribs can be baked up to 3 days ahead (the flavor will be more developed, and the cold ribs will hold together better on the grill as they heat through). Cover and chill juices. Rewrap ribs in foil and chill.
  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Add broth or water to rib juices, if needed, to measure 1 1/2 cups. Whisk in barbecue sauce to blend.
  • Grill ribs, basting with barbecue sauce mixture and turning frequently, until lacquered and charred in places and heated through, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut between ribs to separate. Transfer to a platter and serve with additional barbecue sauce.

STICKIEST EVER BBQ RIBS WITH CHIVE DIP



Stickiest ever BBQ ribs with chive dip image

Slow cook these American-style pork ribs so they're really tender then coat in an irresistibly sweet, sticky sauce

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Main course

Time 4h10m

Yield Serves 4 or 8 with other bbq food

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 racks baby back pork ribs
2 cans cola
2 tsp toasted sesame seed (optional)
8 tbsp tomato ketchup
8 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tsp paprika
300ml pot half-fat soured cream
2 tbsp salad cream
small bunch chive, snipped
6 spring onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and snugly fit the ribs into a roasting tin. Pour over the cola and enough water to cover the ribs, then cover the tin tightly with foil. Roast for 2-3 hrs, turning halfway through, until the ribs are really tender but not falling apart.
  • Meanwhile, put all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Gently heat, then bubble for about 2 mins, stirring.
  • When the ribs are done, carefully lift each out of the tin and sit on kitchen paper to dry. Tip away the liquid and wipe out the tin. Put the dry ribs back in the tin and coat all over with the sticky sauce. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr to marinate, but better still up to 24 hrs. Can be frozen at this stage.
  • Mix the dip ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.
  • Heat the barbecue and wait for the flames to die down, or heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Add the ribs (in a roasting tin, if using the oven) and cook for 20 mins, turning occasionally, and basting often with remaining sauce. When ribs are sticky, hot through and crisping on the outside, slice to serve. Scatter with sesame seeds, if you like, and plate up with any remaining sticky sauce, warmed, and the chive dip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good choices for barbecue, but baby back ribs are leaner and cook more quickly.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, and trim any excess fat.
  • Use a good quality rub: A dry rub made with spices, herbs, and brown sugar will help to flavor the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: Ribs should be cooked at a low temperature (225-250 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours, until they are tender and fall off the bone.
  • Use a smoker or a grill: Ribs can be cooked in a smoker or on a grill. If you are using a grill, use indirect heat to prevent the ribs from burning.
  • Baste the ribs with sauce: During the last hour of cooking, baste the ribs with barbecue sauce to add flavor and moisture.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Barbecued pork ribs are a classic American dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs that everyone will love.
