JANE'S BARBECUED SHORT RIBS



Jane's Barbecued Short Ribs image

A recipe I got from an dear friend many, many years ago, who got it from her mother. Very easy, and wonderful flavor. Good in the summer and even better in the winter on a cold night. Can also cook it in the slow cooker. Then when you come home from work, all you have to do is either grill or broil them to brown them before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes or potato salad or egg noodles.

I have never shared this recipe with anyone since it was always my signature dish! My family has made this forever and I guarantee you won't find a better barbecue rib dish ANYWHERE!! This is spicy and sweet and creates melt-in-your-mouth delicious BBQ ribs. It can be made completely in the oven or you can do a combo of cooking on the oven/stovetop and finishing it off on the grill for the perfect char look and taste. We do the oven/stovetop/grill method and it's pure heaven!!!!! If you make this in the oven the entire time, the meat will just fall off the bones. I will never eat ribs anyplace else because this recipe has ruined me from every enjoying them at any restaurant. I hope you love them too!

1 stalk celery, sliced
3 cups tomato puree

  • To make the ribs easier to handle, cut each slab between the middle bones into 2 equal pieces.
  • Rub the salt, black pepper, and red pepper into both sides of the ribs.
  • Place the ribs in a deep baking dish, cover them, and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 450F.

  • Rotate the ribs two or three times during baking and spoon some of the pan juices over them.
  • Remove the ribs from the baking dish and place in a single layer on baking sheets.
  • (Line the baking sheets with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.) Bake at 450 F for 1 hour.
  • The ribs should be tender and well browned.

  • Cut the slabs between the bones into individual ribs.

SYLVIA'S RIBS



Sylvia's Ribs image

Provided by Sylvia Rose

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Rib Recipes     Spare Ribs

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 pounds pork spareribs
3 cups ketchup
1 cup barbeque sauce
1 cup brown sugar
2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste
3 tablespoons steak sauce, (e.g. Heinz 57)
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Place the ribs in a large stock pot with enough water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and cook over medium-high heat for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In medium saucepan, combine ketchup, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, steak sauce and garlic; blend well. Cook the sauce over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. (Please note that the above ingredients are all to taste. Use more or less of anything you like. I never make the ribs the same way twice!)
  • Cut the ribs between the bones and place in a baking pan. Pour sauce over ribs, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are popular for their tenderness, while spare ribs are known for their flavor. Beef ribs, however, are less common but offer a unique taste experience.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure even cooking and better flavor penetration.
  • Use a flavorful rub: A good rub, applied generously to the ribs, enhances the taste and creates a delicious crust.
  • Smoke the ribs low and slow: Smoking the ribs at a low temperature (between 225°F and 250°F) for several hours produces tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of your favorite barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, or other liquids during the smoking process adds moisture and flavor.
  • Test for doneness: The ribs are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Alternatively, you can check the internal temperature, which should reach at least 145°F.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation, attention to detail, and a little patience, you can create mouthwatering barbecue soul ribs that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different rubs, sauces, and smoking techniques to find your perfect recipe. Remember, the key to great ribs is low and slow cooking, so don't rush the process. Enjoy the delicious results of your culinary efforts and share the joy of homemade barbecue with those you love.
