SPICE-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK WITH ORANGE-PINEAPPLE CHIPOTLE GLAZE



Spice-Rubbed Rib Eye Steak With Orange-Pineapple Chipotle Glaze image

Here's a delicious dry-rubbed rib eye served with an outstanding glaze, smoky from pureed chipotles in adobo, sweetened with orange and pineapple juice, then tempered by vinegar, lime and savory spices. It's versatile, too: you can make the glaze ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use, or don't reduce it to a glaze and use as a basting sauce in other recipes. The glaze/sauce is great on chicken and ribs as well. Adapted from Melinda Lee. Prep time includes making the the glaze; if it's made ahead, steaks will be ready in about 40 minutes.

Categories     Steak

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
2 cups white vinegar
3 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo, to taste
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste
2 (6 -10 ounce) rib eye steaks, about 1 1/2 inches thick
2 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the glaze - you can make this ahead and reheat before use! In a saucepan blend the pineapple and orange juices with the vinegar, pureed chipotles and ground cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until mixture is reduced by 2/3, 45-60 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. (If you want to use as a basting sauce for other recipes, stop here.) Return mixture to heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to reduce by almost one half. The glaze or basting sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for one month.
  • For the steak, combine the toasted cumin seeds, cracked peppercorns and salt in a small bowl. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill.
  • Grill the steaks over very hot coals (or pan-sear the steaks over high heat) about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 1-2 minutes longer for medium, less for rare, checking carefully for doneness since the thickness of the steaks and intensity of heat will affect cooking time.
  • Remove steaks from heat when just slightly underdone: cooking will continue while standing. Brush with glaze, and allow steaks to stand for 5-8 minutes. Serve on warmed plates, with extra glaze on the side.

SPICE-RUBBED BABY BACK RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE-BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE



Spice-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs With Chipotle-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce image

The baby back (sometimes called top loin) is the perfect rib for neophytes. Cut from high on the hog - literally, it abuts the backbone - it's intrinsically tender and generously marbled, which keeps it moist during smoking. Thanks to these attributes, you can cook it at a higher temperature than the low-and-slow heat favored in the American barbecue belt. This shortens the cooking time and lets you cook the ribs on a common charcoal kettle grill. (However, you can certainly smoke these ribs low and slow at 250 degrees, in which case, you'll need 3 1/2 to 4 hours of cooking time - and a smoker.) The higher heat and shorter cooking time produce ribs with a firmer, meatier consistency. Add a chile-stung spice rub and a sweet, spicy chipotle-bourbon barbecue sauce, and you wind up with textbook barbecued ribs with a distinctive sweet, hot, smoky finish.

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 racks (2 to 4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 racks baby back ribs (2 to 2 1/2 pounds each)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
2 large or 4 small hardwood chunks or 3 cups hardwood chips (if using the latter, soak in water to cover for 30 minutes, then drain)
1/2 cup apple cider in a spray bottle (optional)
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/3 cup Thai sweet chile sauce
1/4 cup bourbon
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 canned chipotle chiles en adobo, minced, plus 1 to 2 teaspoons sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet. If the concave side of your ribs still has its papery membrane intact, remove it: Pry it up at the end of the bones using the tip of a meat thermometer or butter knife, then pull it off with a paper towel. Lightly brush the ribs on both sides with the mustard.
  • Prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine the chile powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper and celery seeds. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons rub for serving, then sprinkle the remaining rub on the ribs, coating both sides.
  • Set up your charcoal grill for indirect grilling and heat to 300 degrees.
  • Once the grill comes to temperature, add half the wood chunks or chips to the coals. Arrange the ribs meat (rounded) side up on the grate away from the heat, then cover the grill. Grill the ribs over indirect heat for 1 hour.
  • After the ribs have grilled for 1 hour, spray on both sides with apple cider (if using), turning the ribs with tongs. Add the remaining wood chunks or chips to the fire and close the grill again.
  • While the ribs grill, prepare the barbecue sauce: Place all the sauce ingredients, along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, in a heavy saucepan and whisk to mix. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often. Reduce the heat and gently simmer the sauce, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, 6 to 8 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste; set aside. (Makes about 2 cups.)
  • Continue grilling the ribs over indirect heat, rounded side up, until sizzling, browned, tender, and the meat has shrunk back from the ends of the bones by 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This normally takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours in all, but sometimes you'll need a full 3 hours. The last 20 minutes, brush the ribs on both sides with some of the barbecue sauce. When ready, the meat should be tender enough so you can pull the individual ribs apart with your fingers.
  • Brush each rack on both sides with more barbecue sauce. Move each rack directly over the fire and direct grill to sizzle the sauce into the meat, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the ribs to a platter for serving. Brush once more with barbecue sauce and sprinkle the ribs with the remaining rub. Serve the remaining sauce in a bowl on the side.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, preferably baby back or spare ribs, with good marbling for extra flavor and tenderness.
  • Preparing the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to allow the rub and glaze to penetrate better.
  • Creating the perfect spice rub: Combine a blend of aromatic spices like paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper to create a flavorful crust.
  • Rubbing the ribs: Generously apply the spice rub all over the ribs, ensuring it covers all sides and penetrates the meat.
  • Low and slow cooking: Cook the ribs slowly over indirect heat to allow the meat to tenderize and absorb the flavors from the rub.
  • Basting the ribs: Baste the ribs periodically with a mixture of melted butter, honey, and chipotle sauce to keep them moist and add a delicious glaze.

Conclusion:

Spice-rubbed ribs with chipotle honey glaze are a tantalizing dish that combines the smokiness of the spice rub with the sweet and spicy flavors of the glaze. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create a mouthwatering rib dish that will impress your friends and family.
