TO DIE FOR BARBEQUED RIBS



To Die for Barbequed Ribs image

If you are looking for a rib recipe that is not your regular BBQ sauce kind of thing - look no further. The original recipe is called Vietnamese Style Barbequed Ribs from the 'Cocktail Chef'. My husband has made this recipe many times and it never fails to bring in rave reviews. The flavours are asian inspired and wonderful.The marinade can be frozen and re-used a 2nd time; the 2nd use gets a spicier note.Our kids (9 & 7) love the recipe, so it is also kid friendly and not too spicy even when using chilies. You need to prepare in advance as a long marinating time is required (24-48 hours). Don't look to closely at the calorie count as the marinade packs a lot of calories that are not consumed

3 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

  • Grill the individual ribs on the BBQ for 10 minutes until done.
  • Alternately you can use the grill/broil function of your oven.

The title is the best description. Everyone who eats them, loves them. I have NEVER had any leftovers when I make them. The nice thing about this recipe, is that you can make it ahead...and then just throw the ribs on the grill or broiler 15 minutes before you are ready to eat. They are so easy, and it will seem like you slaved in the kitchen. :)

FALL OFF THE BONE BBQ RIBS RECIPE



Fall Off The Bone BBQ Ribs Recipe image

These ribs are so simple to make - throw them in the slow cooker to tenderize all day, then toss them on the grill to caramelize the BBQ sauce and seal in all the flavors. Holy cow . . . these are amazing!

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Main Course

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds pork loin ribs
3½ cups pineapple juice (divided)
1½ cups brown sugar
16 ounces BBQ Sauce (1 bottle, (I love Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy sauce))

Steps:

  • Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (or use a slow cooker liner to make clean up a breeze!).
  • Take your slab of ribs (make sure that they are defrosted) and cut into individual slabs (about 2-3 ribs each). Throw the ribs into the slow cooker.
  • Mix 3 1/4 cups pineapple juice and the brown sugar together and pour over the ribs.
  • Cook on HIGH heat in the slow cooker for 7-8 hours or LOW for 10-12 hours.
  • After they are done in the slow cooker, use tongs to gently pull them out (they will literally fall apart when you touch them).
  • Turn the grill on medium heat. While the grill is warming up, mix together the bottle of BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup of pineapple juice you saved from earlier.
  • Place the ribs gently on the grill and and brush with BBQ sauce.
  • Turn the ribs twice, slathering with more sauce each time (you can't have enough sauce).
  • They will take about 10-15 minutes to glaze over (as soon as that sauce starts to turn sticky, you know they are done).
  • Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ribs: Opt for high-quality pork ribs, such as St. Louis-style ribs or baby back ribs, as they have a good meat-to-bone ratio and cook evenly.
  • Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tenderness and allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.
  • Use a flavorful Marinade: Create a marinade using a combination of spices, herbs, and liquids to enhance the flavor of the ribs.
  • Slow and Low Cooking: Cook the ribs slowly and at a low temperature to allow the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste Regularly: Baste the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of your choice during the cooking process to keep them moist and prevent drying.
  • Monitor Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the ribs and ensure they reach a safe internal temperature of 145°F for pork ribs.
