Slow-Cooker Barbecue Ribs image

Yes, you can cook ribs in a slow cooker! In this easy recipe, the seasoning paste transforms into a savory dipping sauce. Slather it on the ribs and pop them on the grill just before serving for a final char.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground mustard seeds
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 racks baby back ribs (about 3 pounds)
Oil, for grilling

Steps:

  • Whisk the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, mustard, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Cut each rack of ribs in half and add to the slow cooker. Use your hands to rub the sauce on to the ribs. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until tender, about 4 hours.
  • Gently transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and cool for at least 20 minutes; this will help maintain the shape of the ribs as they grill. Whisk the sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce to brush on to the ribs and save any remaining sauce to serve on the side (it will thicken as it cools).
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the ribs, top-side down, until lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, brush the top side of the ribs with the reserved barbecue sauce and grill until the underside of the ribs are lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately with the extra barbecue sauce on the side.

Categories     Pork

Time 4h20m

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

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.

  • Put a layer of BBQ sauce on the ribs and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes.

SLOW COOKER BBQ RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY



Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pork rib, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, BBQ sauce

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ lb pork rib, 2 racks
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 bottle BBQ sauce, of preference

Steps:

  • Lay out the ribs on a large baking tray.
  • Season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Rub in on all sides.
  • Pour half the BBQ sauce over the ribs and brush to evenly coat all sides.
  • Transfer the ribs to a large slow cooker. Position the ribs so they are standing up, with the meatier side down, and so the meat side is against the walls of the slow cooker, with the bone sides facing in.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours, or high for 4 hours. Check after the allotted time, you want to make sure the meat is cooked through and tender, but you do not want it to be so tender it falls off the bone. If they seem a little tough, allow to cook an additional 30 minutes, as needed.
  • Remove the ribs and transfer to wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Paint the ribs with additional BBQ sauce, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
  • Broil HIGH for 5-8 minutes to caramelize the sauce, making it slightly charred and bubbly.
  • Remove and carefully cut between the bones to separate into individual ribs.
  • Serve with additional BBQ sauce, as needed.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for a rack of ribs that are meaty and well-marbled. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove the excess fat and membrane from the ribs. This will help the ribs to cook evenly and absorb the flavor of the marinade.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: Use a combination of spices, herbs, and liquids to create a marinade that will add flavor to the ribs. Some popular ingredients include garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, cumin, and brown sugar.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs with sauce: During the last hour of cooking, baste the ribs with a barbecue sauce of your choice. This will help to add flavor and keep the ribs moist.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the ribs to retain their juices.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked barbecue pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are cooking them for a special occasion or just for a weeknight meal, these ribs are sure to be a hit. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create mouthwatering ribs that will leave your taste buds tantalized. So fire up your grill or smoker and get ready to enjoy some of the best barbecue ribs you've ever had!
