Categories     Pork

Time 3h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

black tea (6 bags of any kind)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 orange
2 racks baby back ribs (about 2 lbs)
2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch chunks
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Combine the contents of 3 tea bags with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoons pepper and the zest of one orange in a bowl. Rub the tea mixture over both sides of the ribs, which have been pat dry and from which you've removed the tough membrane from the underside. Place the ribs in a roasting pan, meat-side up, and bring to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 275°F Steep the remaining 3 tea bags in 2 cups of boiling water which have been poured into a cup, about 5 minutes. Discard the bags and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the juice of half the orange. Pour the mixture around the ribs in the pan. Cover tightly with foil and roast in the center of the oven until tender, about 90 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a pot of salted water; bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and lay out on a cookie sheet to cool slightly. Mix the mayonnaise and parsley in a large bowl. Grate in the zest of half the lemon, and the juice of the lemon half. Fold in the potatoes and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste; refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 450°F Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Baste the ribs with some of the liquid, then return to the oven and cook uncovered, basting a few times, until the ribs are dark and glazed, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • When the remaining liquid in the saucepan is syrupy, add lemon juice to taste. Brush the ribs with the glaze. Glaze will thicken as it cools. Cut the racks into pieces and serve with the potato salad.

Many years ago, I ran out of Miracle Whip® while making potato salad and added coleslaw dressing. I wouldn't make it any other way now. This can be eaten the same day, but is best the next day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for meaty pork ribs with a good amount of marbling. Baby back ribs and spare ribs are both popular choices.
  • Make sure the ribs are properly trimmed: Remove any excess fat or silverskin from the ribs before cooking.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so make sure you use a blend that you like. You can find many different rib rub recipes online or in cookbooks.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: Ribs need to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature in order to become tender. The best way to do this is to smoke them, but you can also braise or bake them in the oven.
  • Don't overcook the ribs: Ribs are done when they are tender and fall off the bone easily. If you overcook them, they will become dry and tough.
  • Make a delicious sauce: A good sauce can really take ribs to the next level. There are many different types of BBQ sauces that you can use, or you can make your own.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Ribs are often served with sides such as potato salad, coleslaw, and baked beans.

Conclusion:

Sweet tea ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover sweet tea. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a meal that your family and friends will love.
