BAKED BABY BACK RIBS



Baked Baby Back Ribs image

Even a barbeque purist cannot scoff at these foil-wrapped, baked and glazed baby back ribs. They're satisfyingly sweet, savory, smoky and flavorful. The meat falls off the bones! Baking in foil also reduces the amount of clean up. You'll be busy enjoying these ribs -- who has time for dishes?

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 slabs baby back ribs, about 1 pound each (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
  • Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
  • Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
  • While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt
2 full racks baby back ribs (about 3 pounds each), halved
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 small yellow onions, diced (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt
4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 large red Fresno chiles, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup yellow mustard
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock

Steps:

  • For the rub: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, cumin and 1 tablespoon salt.
  • Lay 2 half-racks of ribs flat in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 2 half-racks. Using your hands, coat each rack with the spice rub. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until translucent and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and chiles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar, and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, for 3 minutes. Add the mustard and preserves. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook to allow the flavors to marry, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully pour half the sauce over the ribs. Pour 1/2 cup of the chicken stock into the bottom of each dish. Cover the baking dishes with foil and place into the oven on the middle rack. Bake until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cook the remaining sauce over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan or a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat.
  • Using a pastry brush, glaze the baked ribs with the reduced sauce. Place the ribs meat-side down onto the hot grill and cook until slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the ribs over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Flip one final time, allowing the ribs to cook until perfectly charred, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from the grill and rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve alongside a bowl of any remaining sauce.

RACHAEL RAY'S BABY BACK RIBS WITH JAMMY GLAZE



Rachael Ray's Baby Back Ribs With Jammy Glaze image

This is from Rachael Ray's Everyday with Rachael Ray. I had some extra jam from my blackberry bushes left and wanted to use it up. I made mine on the grill while she did hers in the oven. I like to boil my baby backs for around 1/2 hours then place them on the grill and brush the sauce on them. This sauce is sweet with a kick (the chili powder).
