BRAISED AND GRILLED OR BROILED PORK RIBS



Braised and Grilled or Broiled Pork Ribs image

The barbecued ribs I like best are cooked all the way through, using moist, relatively low heat, then finished over a high flame for a final browning. And you can nicely, if imperfectly, replicate this process by braising the ribs and then finishing them over the grill or in the broiler. Of course the broiler won't add wood flavor, but then neither will a gas grill or briquettes. What I did for the ribs in the recipe here was brown them, then slowly braise them in the oven (the top of the stove would work as well). When they were nearly falling off the bone I took them straight from the braising liquid and ran them under the broiler, just until they crisped up.

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 pounds spare ribs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 allspice berries
2 or 3 3-inch cinnamon sticks
10 nickel-sized slices unpeeled fresh ginger or 1 tablespoon ground ginger
5 dried red chiles or a teaspoon of cayenne
5 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
1 bottle dark beer, like Guinness or any porter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cut meat into two racks if necessary; season with salt and pepper. Put oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet or casserole that can later be covered. Turn heat to medium-high and, when oil shimmers, sear meat on both sides until nicely browned, turning as necessary.
  • Add allspice, cinnamon, ginger, chiles and garlic and stir; add beer. Bring to a boil; cover pan and adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Put in oven and cook until meat is tender, 1 hour or more. (You can prepare meat up to a day or two ahead; if you are not going to grill or broil immediately, put whole pan in refrigerator after it cools a bit.)
  • Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; rack should be about 4 inches away from heat source. Drain meat and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Grill or broil on both sides until brown and crisp, just a few minutes. Meanwhile, skim cooking liquid of fat, bring to a boil, and use as sauce.

OVEN BRAISED BARBECUE PORK RIBS



Oven Braised Barbecue Pork Ribs image

This is a method I got from FoodNetwork's Alton Brown, and it's foolproof. I've tweaked the ingredients many times, in many ways, but it's always turned out great. This is my favorite variation, and the only way I make barbecued country ribs.

Provided by Vina7737

Categories     Meat

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs country-style pork ribs
3/4 cup tomato ketchup
3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup real maple syrup (dark grade B is best.)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon louisiana style hot sauce, plus more to season
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 sheets heavy duty weight aluminum foil (18x36 inch)

Steps:

  • Fold each sheet of foil in half lengthwise.
  • You now have two double thick sheets measuring 18x18 inches.
  • Stack them on top of each other, folded sides on top, and triple fold the three cut edge sides together, crimping firmly, leaving the folded edge side open.
  • You now have a double thickness foil bag.
  • Put the foil bag on a large baking sheet with sides (in case of leaks) and fill with the ribs, being careful not to puncture the bag if the ribs are 'bone-in'.
  • Mix together the ketchup, beer, syrup, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce.
  • Pour into the bag with the ribs.
  • Triple fold and firmly crimp the top folded edges of the foil.
  • Put the bag, still on the baking sheet, into a 300 degree oven for 3 hours.
  • Remove from the oven, cut a corner of the foil bag, and drain the liquid contents into a sauce pan.
  • Crimp the cut edge and set the ribs aside, still sealed in the foil.
  • Bring the liquids to a boil and reduce to a glaze-like consistency (like b-b-que sauce).
  • While the sauce is reducing, preheat your oven broiler.
  • Place the ribs on a oil-sprayed broiler pan, being careful to keep as whole as possible, as they will be very tender.
  • Taste the sauce and add more hot sauce if you want more spiciness.
  • Brush the ribs generously with the sauce and broil close to the heat until the sauce starts to bubble and caramelize (about 1-2 mins.).
  • Turn the ribs, and repeat.
  • If you want a thicker coating, do this brush-and-broil process one more time per side.
  • (I usually do.) Serve with any extra sauce to pour over.
  • NOTE: If you don't have or can't find the dark maple syrup, dark corn syrup is a good substitute.
