GIANT BBQ RIB SANDWICH (TO FEED A CROWD) RECIPE BY TASTY



Giant BBQ Rib Sandwich (To Feed A Crowd) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: baby back ribs, paprika, pepper, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, barbecue sauce, honey, bread, butter, sesame seed, large onions, fresh parsley

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Lunch

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 rack baby back ribs, membrane removed (this is essential for de-boning)
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup honey
1 large loaf bread
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sesame seed
2 large onions, sliced and caramelized
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Lay the ribs on a long sheet of aluminum foil. Combine the paprika, pepper, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl, then cover the ribs evenly on both sides, pressing the rub into any cracks and smoothing out any large lumps. Wrap the foil around the ribs, making sure they're completely sealed. It's important that the juices of the ribs stay inside the foil to keep the ribs moist during cooking. Use more sheets of foil if necessary.
  • Bake the ribs for 3-3½ hours, until tender. Unwrap the ribs carefully, then wiggle the bones out slowly. If you're having trouble removing the bones, use a knife to make small cuts in the meat to aid their removal. Preheat the broiler on your oven.
  • Combine the barbecue sauce and honey in a small bowl and brush both sides of the deboned slab of ribs generously, being sure to carefully handle the ribs since the meat will be super tender.
  • Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and starting to brown.
  • Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise, then butter both sides of the bread. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside of the bread, then toast under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep a careful eye on it as they will burn extremely quickly.
  • With two long spatulas or knives, carefully transfer the glazed ribs to the bottom bread half, then top with the caramelized onions, parsley, and the top half of bread. Cut into about 8 2-inch (5-cm) sandwiches, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Yield 1 slab ribs

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 slabs ribs
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup garlic salt
3 1/2 tablespoons onion salt
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups ketchup
2/3 cup dark brown sugar

4 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • To prepare the rub: Combine all rub ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix.
  • Preheat a grill or the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Place slab of ribs bone side up on table. Slide a knife under the membrane and against the end bone to separate the two. With a dry paper towel or rag, grasp the edge of the thin membrane and pull. The entire membrane should separate from rib. Note: This will result in a more tender rib and will allow your barbecue flavors to better penetrate the meat.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of rub over each slab, front and back. Place ribs, meat side up, on the grill or in the oven for 2 hours. Remove and place each slab on a doubled aluminum foil square, meat side down. Pour 1 cup apple juice over each slab while wrapping tightly in foil. Cook for 1 more hour at 250 degrees F. Remove slabs from foil and sprinkle with another 1/4 cup of rub. Cook an additional 1 hour, uncovered, until ribs are tender.
  • In the meantime, mix together the barbecue sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer and cook 10-15 minutes. Let sauce cool.
  • To finish: Remove ribs from the grill or oven, paint with finishing glaze and cook for another 15 minutes. Cut and serve with additonal sauce.

QUICK AND EASY BARBECUE RUB



Quick and Easy Barbecue Rub image

This rub is my personal recipe, settled on after lots of experimenting. It's great on ribs, brisket, and pork butt. Quick and easy from ingredients everyone usually has. This recipe makes enough for 2 to 3 full racks of baby back ribs, depending on how liberally you coat them. For those that are new to barbecuing/smoking, 'rub' is a misnomer, as you're really just coating the meat and not actually rubbing it in. Generally, I'll rinse and pat dry the meat I'm prepping then apply a thin coat of yellow mustard so that the rub sticks.

  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure even cooking and better flavor penetration.
  • Use a flavorful rub: Combine spices, herbs, and seasonings to create a delicious rub that will enhance the natural flavor of the ribs.
  • Apply the rub generously: Rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs, ensuring it penetrates the meat.
  • Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: Cook the ribs at a low temperature for a longer period to achieve tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.
  • Baste the ribs: During cooking, baste the ribs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, honey, and melted butter to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ribs have reached an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) for fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
