Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 slabs baby back ribs, about 1 pound each (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
  • Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
  • Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
  • While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

Categories     Pork

Time 4h20m

Yield 1/3 rack of ribs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 racks pork baby back ribs (our favorite are baby back ribs, but this works well with St. Louis style ribs too)
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  • Season your ribs with Dale's marinade, your favorite rib rub, grill seasoning, or simply salt and pepper.
  • Place ribs, meat side down, in baking dishes.
  • Cover the baking dishes with aluminum foil and place in the oven.
  • If you are using small baby back ribs, take out after 3.5 hours. If you are using regular baby back or St. Louis style ribs, then take out after 4 hours.
  • Drain off the drippings. Flip the ribs over using two spatulas (and an extra set of hands if you have them) so the meat side is up. Be careful, as they may be so tender they fall apart.
  • Put a layer of BBQ sauce on the ribs and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve them up with a side of potato salad and some baked beans.

OVEN-ROASTED RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Oven-Roasted Ribs with Barbecue Sauce image

This delicious recipe for Oven-Roasted Ribs is from Martha Stewart Living, May 2005.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 racks (about 8 pounds) Saint Louis style pork ribs, or baby back ribs, or spareribs, rinsed well and patted dry
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
4 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Down-Home Barbecue Sauce

Steps:

  • Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil, and place a wire rack on top of each. Transfer 2 racks of ribs to each wire rack, meat side up.
  • Using a sieve, sift sugar, paprika, salt, cocoa, cayenne, and cumin together into a small bowl. (Use the back of a spoon to break up any lumps and to press ingredients through a sieve.) Stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of each rack of ribs. Lightly rub mixture into the ribs to coat completely. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate on racks on sheets at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cook ribs on racks on sheets, switching positions of baking sheets about halfway through, until meat pulls away easily from the bones, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let cool completely. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to finish cooking, up to 2 days. (If finishing cooking immediately, raise oven temperature to 425 degrees and continue with step 6.)
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Let ribs stand at room temperature 20 minutes.
  • Using 2 cups reserved barbecue sauce, brush both sides of ribs. Cook ribs on wire racks set over rimmed baking sheets lined with foil until sauce is slightly caramelized and ribs are heated through, about 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; serve with more barbecue sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have good marbling. Avoid ribs that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the ribs for extra flavor.
  • Cook the ribs at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help the ribs to become fall-off-the-bone tender. The ideal cooking temperature is around 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Baste the ribs with sauce or glaze during the last 30 minutes of 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 ribs, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Oven-roasted baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create fall-off-the-bone tender ribs that will be sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give oven-roasted baby back ribs a try!
