SWEET AND SMOKY BABY BACK RIBS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 racks baby back ribs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
1 cup bourbon whiskey
1 tablespoon each salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar
1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder
Barbecue sauce, of choice
2 cups wood chips, preferably whiskey barrel chips or hickory chips, soaked in 2 cups beer for 1 hour, then drained

Steps:

  • Remove the thin papery skin on the back of each rack of the ribs or ask your butcher to do it. (Pull it off in a sheet with your fingers, using a corner of a dish towel to gain a secure grip.) Place the ribs in a roasting pan and pour the bourbon over them. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour, turning the ribs several times.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the rub in a bowl and stir to mix. Pour off and discard the bourbon. Sprinkle the ribs on both sides with 2/3 of the rub, patting it in with your fingers. Let the ribs marinate for 30 minutes, while you light your grill.
  • Set up your grill for indirect grilling and smoking, using wood chips and adjust the heat to 350 degrees. Arrange the ribs on a rack in the center of the grill away from the heat and cook until very tender and the meat has pulled away from the ends of the bones, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. The last 15 minutes, brush the ribs with 1/3 cup sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining rub. Serve the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

SWEET-AND-SPICY BABY BACK RIBS



Sweet-and-Spicy Baby Back Ribs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
3 1-pound racks baby back pork ribs
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup lager-style beer
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
1 cup Thai sweet chile sauce (such as Mae Ploy)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the ribs meat-side down on a cutting board. Insert a paring knife between the membrane and the bones on one end of each rack, then loosen the membrane and pull it off. Rub the ribs with the lemon juice and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the ribs bone-side down in a large roasting pan, then add the beer. Cover tightly with foil, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chile sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven; increase the temperature to 400 degrees F. Uncover the pan; carefully pour out the cooking liquid. Stir 1/4 cup cooking liquid into the sauce, then discard the rest of the liquid. Generously brush the ribs with the sauce. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting, uncovered, until the ribs are golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and slice, then return to the roasting pan. Pour the remaining sauce on top and toss. Photograph by Anna Williams

SWEET 'N SASSY CHINESE RIBS



Sweet 'n Sassy Chinese Ribs image

This recipe comes from DH's favorite book, Weber's Big Book Of Grilling. Removing the membrane from the underneath side results in tender, "falling off the bone" ribs. To cook on indirect medium heat simply means to have your fire on one side and your meat on the other side so your meat is not directly over the fire. These ribs are "finger-licking" and "out of this world" good. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular type of ribs for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the ribs are well-trimmed: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality rub: The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so be sure to use a good quality rub. You can find many different recipes for rubs online or in cookbooks.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will allow the collagen in the ribs to break down and the meat to become tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a mixture of apple juice, brown sugar, and vinegar will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make the ribs more tender.

Conclusion:

Sweet sassy baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up your grill or smoker and get ready to enjoy some of the best ribs you've ever had!
