OVEN-SMOKED RIBS



Oven-Smoked Ribs image

It took a few tries, but I finally came up with what I'd call "smoke kissed" ribs in my oven. I started with a dry rub; it's the same one I use every summer, based on a recipe my friend Chris Schlesinger shared with me years ago. Then I used a roasting pan and aluminum foil to cobble together a smoker. It's a rudimentary approach, but one that creates a smoky steam that in turn infuses the meat.

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 rack spareribs, 2 to 3 pounds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 225 degrees. While oven heats, mix together dry ingredients and rub them all over pork.
  • Layer bottom of roasting pan with hickory or oak chips and add enough water to create a shallow pool coating bottom of pan and moistening chips; do not drown them.
  • Put a rack over chips and put rubbed meat on rack. Cover entire roasting pan tightly with foil, making a tent at top so smoke-flavored steam can circulate around meat. Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is cooked and tender.
  • Carefully remove foil from pan and run ribs under broiler, watching carefully, until nicely crisp and browned, about 5 minutes.

BETH'S MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BARBECUE RIBS (OVEN)



Beth's Melt in Your Mouth Barbecue Ribs (Oven) image

I almost didn't want to share this ribs recipe because this is one of the dishes that I make that keep my sons coming back home! These can be done with baby back or regular pork ribs. I have also made split chickens this way. The ribs are tender, moist and just slide off of the bone. I know that your family will love them just as much as my family does. I noticed that some are unable to find hickory smoked salt. You can use smoked paprika or just brush the ribs with liquid smoke before applying the rub. The smoke flavor is nice because it helps give the ribs a cooked-on-the-grill flavor. Also, the easiest way to remove the membrane is to work a spoon, or I use the tips of my kitchen shears, into the bottom center of the membrane, work it back and forth to form a "pocket," then I slide my thumbs in and work the membrane off from the center outward to the ends.

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 lbs pork ribs, membrane removed

  • Transfer to the oven and = bake for 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat is starting to shrink away from the ends of the bone.

EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS



Easy Oven Baked Ribs image

When I can keep hubby from charring (burning) some ribs on the grill, I make them in the oven. These are so moist and tender, you will probably never want to grill them again. I've used many types of ribs... Baby Backs, Spare Ribs (St. Louis), or Country Style (which are not really "ribs" as they are cut from the Shoulder). My favorite rub to use is Recipe #510906 and hubby loves my Recipe #510968 on them, but use whatever your family favs are of both. If you decide to use either of my rub or sauce recipes, please feel free to add a review to those recipes, as well. This recipe is just basically a technique to baking ribs indoors. I hope you enjoy these easy, no fuss ribs. *Note: Ribs, Rub & Sauce measurements are only estimates... I just buy them, rub them, sauce them and eat them! :)

Categories     Pork

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 -5 lbs pork ribs
3 tablespoons dry rub seasonings (use your favorite, I use Rustic Spice Rub (Bulk))
1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite, I use BBQ Sauce: Sweet and Spicy)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 250* F.
  • Season all sides of the ribs with your favorite rub.
  • Using a 13x9x2 baking dish (or most likely a larger 15x11x2), place the ribs into the pan, do not over crowd. If using Baby Back slabs, place bone side facing up. If using individual Country Style (St. Louis), lay on their side.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and place on center rack of pre-heated oven. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours (depending on the size of the ribs you are using).
  • Remove the ribs from oven and drain any grease from dish; reserving the foil for later use (waste not, want not). Flip the ribs over (meaty side up) and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and return the dish to the oven (un-covered) for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Once done, remove the ribs to a platter, loosely tent the platter with the reserved foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This step is important -- the resting period gives the ribs time to re-distribute their juices, just like a steak would).
  • Enjoy!

EJ'S SIMPLE OVEN-BBQ RIBS



EJ'S Simple Oven-BBQ Ribs image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 racks baby back ribs
6 tablespoons Emeril's Rib Rub spice blend
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
Emeril's Sweet Original Bam BQ Barbecue Sauce, or your favorite barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to cover the pan twice (you will be folding this over the ribs and sealing it).
  • Arrange the ribs, meat side up, in one layer on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the Rib Rub, salt, pepper, and celery salt, and stir to combine. Divide the seasoning evenly between the 2 slabs of ribs, coating them well on both sides. Fold the extra length of foil over the ribs, and seal it tightly on all sides. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are very tender.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high (or leave the oven on).
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and peel back the foil so that the ribs are exposed. Using a basting brush or the back of a spoon, coat the meaty side of the rubs lightly with barbecue sauce. Place the slabs of ribs, meaty side up, on the grill and cook until the barbecue sauce is thickened and lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake the ribs, without the foil covering, until the barbecue sauce is thickened and lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.)
  • Plating / Assembly: Remove the ribs from the grill (or oven), and let them cool briefly. Then cut between the ribs and serve, with additional barbecue sauce on the side if desired.

NOT YOUR EVERY DAY SMOKED PORK SPARE RIBS



Not Your Every Day Smoked Pork Spare Ribs image

Our family's favorite. Slightly sweet and spicy, with a light non-tomato based baste that doesn't overpower the delicious falling-off-the-bone meat. We have also used this recipe on pork shoulder. Divine! BBQ sauce is never needed, but if you must, only use your favorite! Enjoy!

Time 12h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 pounds pork spareribs
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup apple cider
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups wood chips, or as needed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, kosher salt, cumin, cinnamon, jalapeno seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Rub generously onto the pork spareribs. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect heat, or preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Soak wood chips (apple or cherry are our favorites).
  • While the grill heats up, prepare the mop sauce. In a medium bowl, stir together the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, lemon juice, jalapeno, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.
  • When the coals are gray and ashed over, place 2 handfuls of soaked woodchips directly on them. Place the ribs on the grill grate bone-side down. Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Add more coals as needed. Baste with the mop sauce, and throw handfuls of soaked woodchips onto the coals every hour. Keep the temperature of the grill or smoker from going below 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Ribs are done when the rub has created a wonderful crispy blackened 'bark', and the meat has pulled away from the bone. Discard any leftover mop sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both suitable for oven smoking, but baby back ribs are leaner and more tender, while spare ribs are more flavorful and have more meat.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to improve the texture and flavor. Season the ribs with your favorite rub or marinade to enhance their taste.
  • Smoke the ribs at a low temperature: The ideal temperature for oven smoking ribs is between 225°F and 250°F (107°C to 121°C). This will help the ribs cook slowly and evenly, resulting in tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.
  • Use a smoker box or foil packet to generate smoke: If your oven does not have a built-in smoker, you can create a smoker box using a disposable aluminum pan filled with wood chips or a foil packet containing wood chips and spices.
  • Monitor the ribs during cooking: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the ribs and the temperature of the oven. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are done cooking, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful ribs.

Conclusion:

Oven smoking ribs is a great way to create delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs at home. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. Whether you prefer baby back ribs or spare ribs, seasoned with a dry rub or a marinade, oven smoking is a versatile method that allows you to customize the flavor and tenderness of your ribs to your liking. So fire up your oven, grab some ribs, and get ready to enjoy a mouthwatering barbecue feast.
