Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

5 pounds Danish baby back ribs (4 racks) or St. Louis ribs (2 racks)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe BC Barbecue Sauce (recipe follows)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 cup (10 ounces) tomato paste
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup (8 ounces) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the BC Barbecue Sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned.
Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt & fresh ground pepper
3 lbs pork baby back ribs
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

Preheat gas grill for high heat.
In a small bowl, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt and pepper Mix well.
Trim off the membrane sheath from the back of each rack.
You can do this by running a small, sharp knife between the membrane and snip or"shimmy" off the membrane as much as possible.
Don't skip this step because it prevents the ribs from being chewy.
Sprinkle or "throw" as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired.
Do not rub the spices in, because the ribs will turn too dark and spicy.
You may have some spices leftover, depending on your taste.
Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups.
Brush grate with oil, and lay ribs on top rack of grill.
Reduce heat to low, shut grill, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour.
Do not lift lid at all during this time period!
After one hour check for doneness, depending on your grill you may need to continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes (our grill takes one hour exactly). Brush ribs with barbecue sauce and grill an additional few minutes until sauce is slightly absorbed and a little brown around the edges.
Serve ribs as whole rack or cut between bones and pile individual ribs on the platter.

Tips:

To ensure fall-off-the-bone ribs, cook them low and slow.
Use a variety of spices and seasonings to create a flavorful rub.
Baste the ribs frequently with barbecue sauce to keep them moist and prevent them from burning.
If you're using a gas grill, cook the ribs over indirect heat.
If you're using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and cook the ribs on the other side.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Foolproof Ribs with Barbecue Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-follow recipe that will please even the most discerning palate. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a mouthwatering dish that is perfect for any occasion. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing ribs!
