My husband and I saw this on Food Networks Down Home With the Neeley's and had to try it. I am so glad we did! It is awesome!!! The ONLY way we will make ribs anymore!!! These ribs are time consuming; it is an all day job, so make these on a day that you have 5 or 6 hours to spare! You won't be dissapointed!!!

Time P1DT5h

Yield 1 rack of ribs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup dried mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 rack baby back ribs

Steps:

  • Mix all the dry rub ingredients together.
  • Rub desired amount onto a rack of baby back ribs.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in refrigerator for 24 hours before grilling.
  • Heat your charcoal grill and prepare it to use your smoker attachment. If you do not have a smoker (we don't) just situate the charcoals to one side of the grill.
  • When grill is heated and the flames go away place rack of ribs, skin side up, on the grill on the opposite side that the charcoals are on. This makes for cooking with indirect heat.
  • Cook ribs on grill for 5 or 6 hours, turning and basting with your favorite BBQ sauce (ours is Sweet Baby Rays hickory and brown sugar) every 30 minutes. Temperature of grill should be around 225 degrees.

NEELY'S KANSAS CITY STYLE PORK RIBS



Neely's Kansas City Style Pork Ribs image

The Neeley's have a cooking show on Food Network, and I love their recipes. If you love ribs like I do, you have got to TRY THESE!!! These ribs have some spice to them, so if you are making them for the kiddos or for those that don't like spicy food, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. PLEASE NOTE: The preparation time does not include the time it takes for the ribs to sit in the fridge with the rub on (1-24 hrs.) ALSO: It takes 3-4 hours, depending on whether you slow cook them on the grill or in the oven.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 large or 8 small

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 slabs pork spareribs, 3 pounds each
kansas city barbecue 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 fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 about 2/3 cup small onion, finely diced
3 cups water
1 cup tomato paste (2 6-ounce cans)
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 fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Dry Rub:.
  • 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.
  • Kansas City Barbeque Sauce:.
  • 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.
  • Makes 3 cups sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back or spare ribs, with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
  • Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better seasoning penetration and easier eating. Cut the ribs into individual portions for even cooking.
  • Create a Flavorful Rub: Combine spices and herbs to create a flavorful rub that will enhance the taste of the ribs. Use a mixture of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors for a well-balanced taste.
  • Smoke the Ribs Low and Slow: Cook the ribs at a low temperature (around 225°F) for several hours to allow the meat to become tender and fall off the bone. Use indirect heat to prevent the ribs from burning or drying out.
  • Baste and Wrap: Baste the ribs periodically with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and butter to add moisture and flavor. Wrapping the ribs in foil during the last hour of cooking helps them become even more tender.
  • Let the Ribs Rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more flavorful and juicy ribs.
