STICKY RIBS



Sticky Ribs image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3-pound slab baby back ribs
2 cups BBQ sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl (I did 30 grinds).
  • Place the ribs on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the dry rub all over the top of the meaty side of the ribs. Wrap the foil around the ribs and seal tightly so that no juices can escape during baking. Bake until the meat is tender and can easily be pulled away from the bones with a fork, about 2 hours.
  • Heat the BBQ sauce in a small pan over medium heat until warm. Remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil pack. Remove the ribs from the foil and pour any juices that have accumulated into the BBQ sauce and mix to combine. Continue to simmer the sauce until thickened, about 7 minutes.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan for cooking at medium-high heat.
  • Slice the ribs into 1-bone pieces. Brush all over with the BBQ sauce. Place the ribs on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, a few minutes on each side. Brush with more BBQ sauce and remove from the heat, then serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.

SWEET AND STICKY PORK RIBS



Sweet and Sticky Pork Ribs image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds pork spareribs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
  • For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE STICKY BARBECUE RIBS



Fall-off-the-bone sticky barbecue ribs image

Prep these ribs in the oven first, then glaze with a sticky sauce and fire up the barbecue. They can be easily transported for finishing outdoors

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 racks of baby back pork ribs or other whole racks (about 450g each)
5 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp smoked paprika
4 tbsp light brown soft sugar
1 tbsp garlic granules
1 tbsp onion granules
1 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
300g tomato ketchup
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
300ml apple juice

Steps:

  • If there's a thin membrane on the back of the ribs, peel this off as best you can. The length of the ribs will be determined by the size of your roasting tin and barbecue - leave them whole or cut in half or thirds. Tip the ribs into a large, deep roasting tin. Whisk the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl until completely combined, then pour this over the ribs. Toss the ribs in the sauce using your hands to ensure they're completely coated. Cover the tin with foil, shiny-side down. To cook straightaway, simply leave to marinate while the oven heats up, or chill the ribs overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bake the ribs for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs, turning once or twice until the bones are exposed and the meat is pull-apart tender. When the ribs are cooked, leave to cool a little, then lift onto a tray using tongs. Pour the sauce from the tin into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened. Leave to cool. The sauce and ribs can be prepared up to two days ahead and chilled.
  • Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, or set a gas barbecue to medium. Put as many ribs on the grill as you can fit, then brush generously with the sauce. Working quickly, grill the ribs, basting with more sauce and turning every minute or so until the ribs are well-coated, charred at the edges, caramelised and sticky. Repeat with any remaining ribs and sauce if they didn't all fit on the grill at once. Serve piled high on a platter with the reserved sauce on the side for slathering on top. Any leftover sauce will keep chilled in the fridge for up to a week.

YUMMY STICKY BEEF RIBS



Yummy Sticky Beef Ribs image

These are tasty and a little sticky, but sticky is good when it comes to ribs.

Provided by Dmikmik

Categories     Everyday Cooking

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large celery rib, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup dark brown sugar
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
salt to taste
3 pounds rack of beef back rib, at room temperature

Steps:

Add jalapeno peppers and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir chicken stock, ketchup, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, and mustard into the vegetable mixture; cook until reduced to about 3 cups, about 30 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Season the sauce with salt.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Tips:

  • Select the right ribs: Look for ribs with good marbling and a nice pink color. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of cartilage.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs and any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs: Rub the ribs with your favorite seasonings. You can use a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can get more creative with your spices.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs during cooking will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can use a variety of liquids for basting, such as barbecue sauce, apple juice, or even beer.
  • Let the ribs rest: After cooking, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sticky pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little bit of time and effort, you can create a rack of ribs that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give sticky pork ribs a try.
