KOREAN BBQ BABY BACK RIBS

Korean BBQ Baby Back Ribs image

When you live-and cook-in Kentucky, you need to know your ribs. Chef Edward Lee starts his baby back rib recipe with a classic dry rub, then cooks the racks low and slow in a sauce spiked with spicy gochujang, a nod to his Korean roots. (Note: Ribs need to chill overnight in the fridge, so plan ahead!)

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3/4 cup ketchup
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups gochujang, Korean fermented chili paste, available at Asian markets or online
1 cup cider vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika, sweet or smoked
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Freshly ground black pepper
2 racks baby back ribs, about 3½?4 pounds

Steps:

BBQ sauce: In a saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer over low heat. Cook uncovered, 1-2 hours. (Note: Sauce can also be made while the ribs are baking during the first hour, Step 3.)
Ribs: Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Place ribs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle rub all over the ribs, using more on the meaty side. Massage the rub into the meat (tip: wear non-latex gloves for easy cleanup). Cover with foil and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove ribs from refrigerator and wrap each rack tightly in foil. Place them in a roasting pan side by side and bake 1 hour. (Alternatively, you can smoke the ribs, uncovered, in a smoker at 220 degrees F for 1 hour.)
Take the ribs from the oven and remove the foil. Return the ribs to roasting pan; pour any liquid in the foil over the ribs. Pour the BBQ sauce over the ribs. Loosely cover pan with foil and bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, basting halfway through.
Assembly: Remove ribs from oven and place on a cutting board. Cut into two-rib portions and serve stacked on a platter, with extra sauce from the pan on the side.

These remind me of your typical pot roast prep that your mom may have made growing up...if your mom happened to be a Korean man who went on to create the first fusion taco truck. Enjoy over a bed of steamed rice and your favorite banchan!

THE REAL DEAL KOREAN BEEF RIBS

The Real Deal Korean Beef Ribs image

This is an authentic Korean beef rib recipe, not the Americanized version. This is super easy and a crowd pleaser. This is for 4 pounds of ribs. I find 2 tablespoons of honey is perfect for a not-so-sweet rib. This gives you the perfect amount of tanginess. However, if you like it sweeter you can add up to 3 tablespoons.

Time P1DT1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 pounds Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick across bones)
½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 ½ tablespoons Asian plum wine

Steps:

Wash the ribs, removing any stray bits of bone, and allow to drain for 30 minutes.
Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, honey, garlic, pepper, water, sesame oil, and plum wine until the sugar has dissolved; pour the mixture into a 1 gallon plastic zipper bag. Place the ribs into the marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, zip it up, and refrigerate at least 24 hours.
The next day, remove the ribs from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before grilling. Remove the ribs from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Grill the ribs until browned and no longer pink inside, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Tips:

Choose the right ribs: Look for baby back ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the ribs their signature flavor, so make sure to use a good one. The recipe in the article uses a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
Cook the ribs slowly and low: This allows the ribs to cook through and become fall-off-the-bone tender.
Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a sauce helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
Don't overcook the ribs: Overcooked ribs will be tough and dry. Cook them until they are just tender enough to fall off the bone.

Conclusion:

Korean-style baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and savory flavor, these ribs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give these Korean-style baby back ribs a try.
