Time 1h35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs pork ribs
1 large white onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, mashed
soy sauce
water
sesame oil

Steps:

  • Coat a baking dish with sesame oil and sprinkle with half the onion.
  • Smear ribs with the mashed garlic and place them in the pan on top of the onion.
  • Sprinkle the top of the ribs with the rest of the onion and soy sauce (to taste).
  • Fill pan with about a quarter of an inch of water. Bake at 325 degrees for 1.5 - 2 hours, until meat is crisped on top and pulls away from the bone easily with a fork.
  • Alteration: Add sesame seeds, ground ginger, Tabasco, and a little honey (during the last half hour, so it browns and doesn't scorch)
  • Add lots of hot pepper flakes and some sweet smoked paprika.

Mom's Oven-Barbecued Ribs image

My mom made these tender ribs for special Sunday suppers when we were growing up. A few common ingredients are all you need to make the zesty sauce that coats them. My family's eyes light up when I bring a plate of these ribs to the table, and company never suspects how easy they are to prepare. -Yvonne White Williamson, New York

BEST-EVER COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS



Best-Ever Country-Style Ribs image

I found this recipe years ago in a magazine and it has become a favorite. They are not only the best-ever, but also the easiest-ever. These finger-licking ribs start with a dry spice rub and end with an out-of-this-world sauce. And, they have one other distinct advantage: They're cooked mostly in advance, so they require very little last-minute tending. For a finishing touch, all you need to do is give them a quick crisping on the grill (or under the broiler.) Preparation time does not include marinating.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons dry rub seasonings, recipe follows (I usually use a little more)
4 lbs country-style pork ribs (I prefer bone-in, but you could use boneless)
3 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups beer (beer is better) or 1 1/2 cups water (beer is better)
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (such as French's yellow mustard)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark, doesn't matter)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Rub Dry Rub all over ribs. Place in a glass baking dish; cover and refrigerate several hours or, even better, overnight.
  • Stir together ketchup, beer (or water), vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar (add more, if you like your sauce sweeter), oregano, basil, thyme, and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
  • Transfer ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Reserve 1 cup sauce for basting later; pour remainder over ribs. Cover pot and cook the ribs over low heat for about 45 minutes or until ribs are tender. (Ribs may be prepared up to a day ahead and refrigerated.).
  • Prepare grill or heat broiler. Remove ribs from sauce; discard sauce. Spread ribs with half the reserved sauce.
  • Cook ribs over medium coals (or medium direct heat on a gas grill) or broil until crispy and browned, about 5 minutes. Turn ribs over. Spread with remaining sauce. Cook 5 minutes more.
  • DRY RUB for COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS: Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons dried lemon peel (found in the spice section of your supermarket), 3 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika in a small bowl. Store unused dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

FOOLPROOF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Foolproof Ribs with Barbecue Sauce image

Ina Garten's secret to perfect grilled ribs: Cook them in the oven first! "There are two great benefits of this method. First, instead of fussing with the heat of the coals, all I have to do is put the ribs in the oven, set a timer and forget about them. Second (and even better): I can make them ahead! Early in the day, I'll roast the ribs, and just before serving, I'll fire up the grill and barbecue them. All the fun of cooking outdoors and I never need to call 911!"

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds Danish baby back ribs (4 racks) or St. Louis ribs (2 racks)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Barbecue Sauce (recipe follows)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 cup (10 ounces) tomato paste
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup (8 ounces) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
  • About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.
