RIB MARINADE



Rib Marinade image

This is good on grilled meats - chicken, beef - however, we always use it for pork ribs. I omit the oil and have never had a problem but I know marinade is technically supposed to have oil so I put it in the recipie. I don't really know where this recipe comes from. Can be used for up to 10 lbs of meat. Can be stored in the refrigerator if you don't use it all.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds pork spareribs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
  • For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

These are the best ribs ever. The trick is to buy belly of pork and cook it fairly slowly. The spices and juices cook out to a great thick sauce, which should be brushed over the ribs as they cook.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs, with good marbling for extra flavor.
  • Preparing the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender and juicy meat.
  • Marinating time: The longer you marinate the ribs, the more flavorful they will be. However, marinating for too long can result in mushy meat. Aim for a marinating time of at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Cooking methods: You can cook the ribs using various methods, including grilling, baking, or smoking. Each method imparts a unique flavor and texture to the ribs.
  • Saucing the ribs: For a delicious and glossy glaze, apply a barbecue sauce or glaze during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. This will caramelize the sauce and enhance the flavor.
  • Resting the ribs: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful ribs.

Conclusion:

Pork ribs are a versatile and delicious dish that can be prepared using various marinades, cooking methods, and sauces. By following the tips mentioned above, you can create tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone ribs that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different marinades, cooking techniques, and sauces to find your favorite pork rib recipe.
