Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 1/2 pounds total)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, ground to a medium grind in a spice grinder
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium shallot, minced
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Stir the chili and cumin together with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture all over the ribs, then put the ribs bone-side down in a large roasting pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake until the meat is very tender but not quite falling off the bone, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns, garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until the garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, preserves, honey, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes.
  • Finish the ribs: Preheat the broiler to high. Remove the foil and transfer the racks to a cutting board to cool slightly. Drain any fat from the roasting pan. Cut the racks into individual ribs and place back in the roasting pan. Drizzle the ribs with the sauce.
  • Broil the ribs a few inches from the broiler, tossing occasionally with tongs, until bubbling and charred in spots, about 6 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a platter and sprinkle with the scallions.

PEPOSA DELL'IMPRUNETA (TUSCAN BLACK PEPPER BEEF)



Peposa Dell'Impruneta (Tuscan Black Pepper Beef) image

The story goes that terracotta tile workers in Impruneta, Tuscany, would place this stew into clay pots and cook it in their still-hot kilns overnight where it would be ready in the morning. They used a lot of pepper because the meat was not always top quality. The amount of pepper is up to you--I used a ridiculous amount, but even so it wasn't overpowering.

Time 3h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 beef short ribs (8 to 10 oz. each)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
8 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns, freshly crushed
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
3 sage leaves
3 small sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
2 cups red wine, preferably Chianti
salt to taste, to adjust sauce

Steps:

  • Place meat in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle all sides generously with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  • Place chopped garlic and a pinch of salt in a mortar and mash with pestle until pastelike. Add tomato paste; mash until blended. Transfer mixture into bowl with beef and rub onto all sides of meat. Add crushed peppercorns and ground pepper. Distribute evenly over all sides of beef. Transfer to a deep skillet or Dutch oven bone side down. Tuck sage leaves, rosemary, and dry bay leaves between pieces of meat. Carefully add wine along the side of the pan to avoid washing over the top of the meat.
  • Place pan over high heat and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low. Cover tightly. Cook until meat is fork tender, turning pieces every 30 minutes or so, about 3 1/2 hours. Transfer pieces of meat to a warm bowl.
  • Increase heat to high and bring braising liquid to a boil. Simmer until liquid is reduced by about half or until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bones from meat.
  • When sauce is thickened, transfer meat back to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and spoon sauce over meat. Cook until until heated through, about 5 minutes.

SALT-AND-PEPPER BEEF RIBS



Salt-and-Pepper Beef Ribs image

These beef ribs are an adaptation of the ones the chef Kenny Callaghan used to serve at the restaurant Blue Smoke, in Manhattan. For best results, order the ribs ahead of time from a butcher. (Pre-packaged ribs are generally too well-trimmed of meat for good barbecue purpose.) Ask for two back-rib racks trimmed from the prime rib, keeping as much meat on the ribs as possible, each rack approximately 6 ribs wide. That will do you brilliantly. Cook for a while in a bath of hickory smoke, then finish in the oven. Beef, salt, pepper, smoke, fat. You'll need napkins.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 racks beef ribs, 5 to 7 pounds total (see note)
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
Red-pepper flakes, to taste
2 cups hickory chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Barbecue sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • On one-half of a grill fitted with a cover, build a small charcoal fire, about the size of a loaf of commercial sandwich bread, making sure all the charcoal becomes engulfed in flame.
  • Place the ribs meat-side down on a baking sheet or cutting board and remove the papery membrane from the back of the rack by inserting a small knife beneath it and levering it up to give you enough to gain purchase with a dish towel. Peel off the membrane and discard.
  • Mix the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika and, if you choose, red-pepper flakes in a bowl, breaking up the brown sugar with a fork. Using your hands, cover the meat entirely in this rub.
  • When the flames begin to die down, leaving flickering coals, place the rib racks meat-side up on the half of the grill without the burning charcoal. Do not let the flames touch the meat at any time. Add a handful of the hickory chips to the fire. Cover the grill, vent slightly and cook, adding a handful of hickory chips every 30 minutes and a bit more fuel as necessary, until the meat is crusty, soft to the touch and well browned, about two and a half hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Set the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for around 5 hours.
  • Cut into individual portions. Serve with extra napkins and, if you choose, barbecue sauce.

KOREAN BRAISED SPARE RIBS WITH SOY AND BLACK PEPPER



Korean Braised Spare Ribs With Soy and Black Pepper image

These St. Louis-style spareribs are braised until tender and lacquered in a savory Korean soy sauce glaze that's spiked with fragrant garlic, ginger, scallions and lots of black pepper. There's no marinating required and little hands-on work, but you will need to make sure the tough membrane on the back of each rack has been removed before cooking. (That task is easy: Set the ribs meat side down and find the thin, translucent skin that sits over the bones. Gently pull it up at one corner, inserting a sharp knife to loosen it at one end if necessary, then peel the membrane off in one piece.) The potatoes and carrots sit underneath the ribs and soak up the meaty drippings. The pork and vegetables all release flavorful juices as they roast, resulting in a rich, assertive pan sauce. A quick broil at the end achieves golden, crispy edges.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (from about 4 scallions), plus more for garnish
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger (from one 4-inch piece)
2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
2 tablespoons turbinado or brown sugar
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (3-pound) St. Louis-style sparerib racks, each halved crosswise into 2 equal pieces
2 small yellow onions, thinly sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced crosswise 1-inch-thick
1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
Any combination of kimchi, pickles or cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, garlic, ginger, oil, sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and mix well.
  • Divide ribs and onions between 2 large rimmed baking sheets and season with salt and pepper. Divide the sauce between the 2 baking sheets and toss to coat the onions and ribs, rubbing the sauce into the ribs. Spread onions in an even layer on the bottom and top with ribs, meat side-up. Add 1/2 cup water to each baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Roast for 1 hour, then transfer ribs to a cutting board or platter.
  • Season potatoes and carrots with salt and pepper and divide between the 2 baking sheets. Toss with onions and pan juices until coated. Place the ribs back on top of vegetables, meat-side up, and baste with the pan juices. Cover tightly and roast until vegetables and ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer ribs to a cutting board or platter. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter. Pour pan sauce into a bowl for serving, skimming off any excess oil. Return all of the ribs to one baking sheet.
  • Heat broiler and set an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the heat. Baste ribs with some of the reserved pan sauce and broil, meat side-up, until golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Divide ribs among plates. Drizzle with some of the sauce and garnish with more scallions. Serve with the roasted vegetables, and any combination of kimchi, pickles or rice.

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS



Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs image

They say that whoever makes the most delicious thing with the fewest number of ingredients wins, which was the idea that inspired these. The recipe reminded me just how delicious pork ribs are when we don't try to do too much to them. Plus, this has to be the easiest method I've ever shared for doing ribs.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Rib Recipes     Spare Ribs

Time 7h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 rack St. Louis-style pork spare ribs

Steps:

  • Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
  • Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
  • Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
  • Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
  • Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
  • Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

  • Prepare sauce: To a saucepan add all the sauce ingredients; whisk to blend.
  • Gradually bring sauce to a boil over medium heat, whisking as needed.
  • Decrease heat slightly and let the sauce simmer gently until thick and richly flavored, about 10 minutes; serve warm or at room temperatue.
