Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 33

Jerk Marinade
1 large red onion, cut into ¼-in/6-mm slices
¾ cup (180 mL) soy sauce
¾ cup (180 mL) vegetable oil
½ cup (120 mL) apple cider vinegar
½ cup (120 mL) water
1 jalapeño chile, sliced
Habanero Vinegar
½ habanero chile, stemmed and seeded
⅓ cup (80 mL) white wine vinegar
Pineapple Glaze
Two 6 oz. (180-mL) cans pineapple juice
¼ cup (50 g) firmly packed brown sugar
Pineapple Salsa
½ pineapple, diced
1 small red onion, diced
3 small jalapeño chiles, diced
⅓ cup (55 g) diced red bell pepper
⅓ cup (8 g) chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp. canola oil
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt
Jerk Spice Rub
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. ground allspice
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. grated nutmeg
2 tsp. cascabel or ancho chile powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Two 2-lb (910 g) racks baby back ribs

Steps:

  • To make the jerk marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the onion, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, water, and jalapeño. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
  • To make the habanero vinegar: In a food processor, com¬bine the habanero chile and vinegar and purée until smooth. Pour into a small bowl. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
  • To make the pineapple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until sauce is thick and reduced to about one-third, about 15 minutes. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
  • To make the pineapple salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapeños, bell pepper, cilantro, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 8 hours.)
  • To make the jerk spice rub: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, salt, nutmeg, chile powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Use a butter knife to pry the membrane off the bone side of the ribs. Once you get a piece of the membrane loose, grab it with a paper towel and pull it toward the other end of the slab to remove it. Rub the Jerk Spice Rub evenly over the ribs. Arrange the ribs in a 15-by-10-in/38-by-25-cm baking pan. Pour the Jerk Marinade over the ribs, turning to coat both sides. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Remove ribs from marinade, letting the excess drip off. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Brush with the Habanero Vinegar.
  • To cook ribs using a charcoal grill: Prepare grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Place a shallow metal pan filled with water in the center of the grill and arrange the hot coals around it. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate directly above the water-filled pan, cover the grill, and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add coals as needed to maintain medium heat.
  • To cook ribs using a gas grill: Preheat the grill with all the burners on high. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate, turn off the burner directly under the ribs, and reduce the other burners to medium heat. Cover the grill and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • After 45 minutes, brush the ribs with some of the Pineapple Glaze, and brush them two or three times before serving. Do not flip the ribs during cooking. When the ribs are done, they will be well browned and the meat will have shrunk back from the ends of the bones. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting rack into individual ribs. Serve warm with the Pineapple Salsa.

JERK RIBS



Jerk Ribs image

Harold Dieterle, the chef and an owner of two restaurants in Manhattan, Perilla and Kin Shop, cooks food that is often fiery and always immensely detailed. It resembles intricate music that is played very, very loud. This Jamaican-style jerk sauce is no exception. Its heat is towering, but it does not overwhelm the flavors that accompany the flames: thyme and allspice, along with wisps of caramelized sugar and a scent of rum. "You could serve it on chicken," Dieterle told me. "It's insane on ribs." Not to mention pork tenderloin and bluefish. Jerk tofu? That'd be terrific as well.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 medium-size bunch of scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/2 small yellow onion, peeled and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled
4 habanero peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 serrano pepper, stemmed and seeded
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons dried thyme
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon chipotle powder or habanero powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark rum
2 racks baby back ribs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300. Place the scallions, onions, garlic and peppers into a food processor with a pinch of salt, and pulse to mince.
  • Add the spices, sugar and soy sauce, and blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Add the rum, and pulse to combine. Add water to thin the marinade, approximately 1/4 cup. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use. (Covered tightly, the marinade will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.)
  • Slide the handle of a wooden spoon, or the edge of a butter knife, below the membrane on the back of each rack of ribs, and then use your fingers to grab it and pull it off. Season the ribs aggressively with salt and pepper.
  • Place each rack of ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, and slather with the jerk marinade. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, and place on a sheet pan in the oven for 90 minutes.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven, carefully unwrap the ribs and anoint again with the jerk marinade. Return the ribs, uncovered, to the oven, and continue roasting for an additional 90 minutes, or until the meat is crusty and has just begun to pull back from the bone. Remove ribs from oven, allow to rest 5 minutes, then slice into individual ribs and serve on a warmed platter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for jerk ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or short ribs. Spare ribs have more meat on them, while short ribs are more flavorful.
  • Make sure the ribs are well-trimmed: Remove any excess fat or membrane from the ribs before cooking. This will help the jerk seasoning to penetrate the meat and give the ribs a better flavor.
  • Use a good jerk seasoning: There are many different jerk seasoning recipes available, so find one that you like. Some popular ingredients in jerk seasoning include allspice, thyme, ginger, garlic, and Scotch bonnet peppers.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight: This will give the jerk seasoning time to penetrate the meat and give the ribs a more flavorful taste.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and patiently: Jerk ribs are best cooked low and slow. This will help the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs with the marinade during cooking: This will help to keep the ribs moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make the ribs even more tender.

Conclusion:

Jerk ribs are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your jerk ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing jerk ribs!
