FOOLPROOF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Foolproof Ribs with Barbecue Sauce image

Ina Garten's secret to perfect grilled ribs: Cook them in the oven first! "There are two great benefits of this method. First, instead of fussing with the heat of the coals, all I have to do is put the ribs in the oven, set a timer and forget about them. Second (and even better): I can make them ahead! Early in the day, I'll roast the ribs, and just before serving, I'll fire up the grill and barbecue them. All the fun of cooking outdoors and I never need to call 911!"

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds Danish baby back ribs (4 racks) or St. Louis ribs (2 racks)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Barbecue Sauce (recipe follows)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 cup (10 ounces) tomato paste
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup (8 ounces) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
  • About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for BBQ ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a more tender texture, while spare ribs are meatier and have a more robust flavor.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs to cook more evenly and will prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the ribs: Season the ribs with a rub made from your favorite spices. A simple rub made from salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good starting point.
  • Cook the ribs: Cook the ribs low and slow until they are tender and fall off the bone. This can be done in a smoker, oven, or on the grill.
  • Baste the ribs: Baste the ribs with BBQ sauce during the last hour of cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Making BBQ ribs at home is not difficult, but it does take some time and effort. By following these tips, you can make delicious and fall-off-the-bone ribs that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
