Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT4h15m

Yield 4 large/8 small portions

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 slabs pork spare ribs, 3 pounds each
Kansas City Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup dry mustard
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (about 2/3 cup)small onion, finely diced
3 cups water
1 cup (2 (6-ounce) cans) tomato paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the thin white membrane off of the bone-side of the ribs. Mix together the brown sugar, dry mustard, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Massage the rub into the ribs and let sit for 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • If cooking on the grill, place the ribs meat-side down next to medium-hot coals that are about 225 degrees F. The indirect heat will cook them slower, making them tender. Allow to cook for 1 hour. Turn ribs every half hour and baste with the Kansas City Barbeque Sauce. Cook until the ribs are tender, about 3 to 4 hours.
  • If cooking indoors, place in a roasting pan with a rack. Slather the ribs with the Kansas City Barbeque Sauce and tent a piece of aluminum foil over them. In a preheated 350 degrees F. oven, place the ribs, basting with the sauce every 30 minutes and removing the foil for the last 30 minutes and cooking until fork tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • In a small sauce pot on medium-high heat, heat the oil and add the onion, cooking until translucent.
  • Add the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Add to sauce pan and let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Use to baste the pork spare ribs.

THE BEST EVER BBQ PORK RIBS



The Best Ever BBQ Pork Ribs image

BBQ Ribs are my passion!!! I've tried several different rib recipes & I have an earlier Rib recipe posted on Zaar, but this even beats that one!!! First of all, DO NOT BOIL RIBS!!!...it takes away the flavor & is just plain WRONG!!! Second, they shouldn't "fall-off-the-bone"...they should be tender, but sort of "SNAP-OFF" the bone!!! Third, everyone has their own favorite "rub" & "sauce"...give Recipe #410170 and/or Recipe #268574 or use whatever works best for YOU!!! I prefer my ribs smoked, but that's me. These ribs are good either way!!! You can mop them with sauce is desired, but I prefer not to. PLEASE READ DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h15m

Yield 2-4 half racks, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 -2 pork rib rack (Baby Back or St. Louis)
seasoning (Rib Rub)
barbecue sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°.
  • Cut ribs in half & generously apply rub on both sides, massaging it into the meat.
  • Wrap each half tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Place each in a shallow pan with sides.
  • Bake for 3 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce.
  • NOTE: If you want them BROWNED, carefully remove the ribs from the foil. Place under broiler or on grill until desired, but watch carefully so not to burn -- 10-12 minutes each side should be sufficient.
  • NOTE 2: If you want them SMOKED, carefully remove the ribs from the foil. Place on grill, using indirect method -- smoke for about an hour. I recommend Apple or Hickory.
  • DO NOT soak wood chips/chunks in water! Wood doesn't absorb much water, so all you're doing is cooling off the coals.
  • ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for BBQ ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a more delicate flavor, while spare ribs are meatier and have a more robust flavor. St. Louis-style ribs are a good compromise between the two.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and make them more tender. You can also trim any excess fat from the ribs.
  • Season the ribs: There are many different ways to season BBQ ribs. A simple rub made with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good place to start. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
  • Cook the ribs: BBQ ribs can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, smoking, or baking. The best way to cook ribs is low and slow. This will help the ribs cook evenly and become tender. If you are grilling the ribs, cook them over indirect heat. If you are smoking the ribs, cook them at a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours.
  • Sauce the ribs: BBQ sauce is a must-have for any BBQ ribs recipe. You can use a store-bought BBQ sauce or make your own. If you are making your own BBQ sauce, be sure to simmer it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the ribs: BBQ ribs are best served hot off the grill or smoker. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Kentucky BBQ pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make BBQ ribs that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your grill or smoker and get cooking!
