SWEET AND STICKY PORK RIBS

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds pork spareribs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
  • For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

BBQ ribs done perfectly in the oven or on the charcoal grill. Just a rack of pork back ribs and 5 hours until the tastiest ribs ever!

Provided by John Mooney

Categories     Main Course

Time 5h50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 rack Pork back ribs
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup White sugar
1/4 cup Paprika
3 tablespoons Kosher salt
1 tablespoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons Garlic powder
2 tablespoons Onion powder
1 teaspoon Ground mustard
1 teaspoon Celery salt
1 teaspoon Dried thyme
1 1/2 cups Ketchup
1 cup Water
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Rib rub (From above recipe)
1/4 cup Honey

Steps:

  • Make the dry rub by adding all the dry ingredients and mixing well.
  • Remove the ribs membrane from the underside of the rack. Insert a small utensil under the membrane skin at a bone location and gently pry the membrane up so that you can grab it with a paper towel. Use the paper towel to get a hold of the membrane and pull of the membrane.
  • Liberally apply the rub to the top and bottom of the rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Start your grill, oven or smoker and set the temperature to 250 degrees. Place a water pan into the grill, under the grill grate, and fill the pan halfway with hot steaming water.
  • Place your ribs onto the grill and close the lid. Rotate the ribs once after 2 hours. After 4 hours apply the barbecue sauce to the ribs and then close the lid for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, check the temperature of the ribs. The internal temperature of the ribs should be between 195 degrees and 205 degrees. Cover the ribs and let the ribs rest in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
  • While your ribs begin to cook, make the barbecue sauce. The sauce and the rub can be made a head of time.
  • Serve the barbecue sauce on the side and provide bottles of hot sauce for your guests that prefer hot and spicy ribs. Enjoy!

SWEET & STICKY RIBS



Sweet & Sticky Ribs image

If you like baby back ribs that leave your fingers sticky this is the recipe for you! They are sweet and so delicious! I just put some ingredients together and everyone who has them just loves them and wants the recipe. Hope you enjoy them! (FYI: They are done on the BBQ--not the oven and I did not know how many ribs to put so I just put 32oz...use what you want-it wouldn't let me just say a package of ribs..lol)!

Categories     Pork

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 ounces pork ribs
2 (12 ounce) cans Coke, to add to boiling water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Splenda)
1/2 cup maple syrup (I use ED Smith Sugar Free)
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Boil ribs in water on oven for 1.5 - 2 hours. Add coke to the water and some soy sauce. I really recommend you boil them. Boil them until they are almost falling off the bone.
  • Mix together rest of the ingredients and set aside for basting the ribs on the BBQ.
  • When ribs are done boiling put on BBQ on LOW heat. Baste the ribs on each side every 3 min with the sauce. You can flip the ribs over and over and they will not get "tough". They get sticky from the sauce. Do this for about 1/2 hour. Use all the barbecue sauce up.
  • Eat and enjoy!

OVEN-BAKED SWEET AND STICKY PORK BACK RIBS



Oven-Baked Sweet and Sticky Pork Back Ribs image

I have to say that this is one of the best recipes for back ribs, and since my family loves ribs I have tried many in the past, although they certainly could be grilled on a barbecue the sticky sauce tends to burn on the grill, oven-baking produces a moist tender rib with the most wonderful sticky sauce, so make sure to have lots of napkins when serving these ribs!!! Plan ahead the ribs need to marinade for 8-24 hours (the longer, the better!). This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a crowd, and baked in two separate roasting pans. I make these ribs in a heavy foil baking pan, since the drippings char slightly it makes clean up a breeze, just toss the baking pan in the garbage after baking, if you are not using a disposable baking dish then make certain to line your pan with foil for easy clean-up. You will LOVE THESE RIBS!!!!!!

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 milder flavor, while spare ribs and St. Louis-style ribs are meatier and have a more robust flavor.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the rub and sauce penetrate the meat. You can also trim the ribs of excess fat, but be careful not to remove too much, as the fat helps to keep the ribs moist and flavorful.
  • Use a good rub: A good rub will help to create a flavorful crust on the ribs. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own. If you're making your own rub, be sure to use a variety of spices, including salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook BBQ ribs is low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop. You can cook the ribs in a smoker, oven, or on a grill.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs regularly with a mixture of sauce and water will help to keep them moist and flavorful. Baste the ribs every 30 minutes or so.
  • Cook the ribs until they are tender: The ribs are done cooking when they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone. This will usually take about 2-3 hours, but it may take longer depending on the type of ribs and the cooking method you're using.

Conclusion:

BBQ ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make BBQ ribs at home that are just as good as, if not better than, the ribs you get from a restaurant. So fire up your grill or smoker and get ready to enjoy some delicious BBQ ribs!
