Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt
2 large racks (4 pounds or more) pork ribs
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup hot sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce (your choice)

Steps:

  • A few hours before beginning the slow cooking of the ribs, make the rub by combining garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, mustard, and salt in a bowl and mixing well. Rub the mix into the meat and let sit for at least an hour. The mixture will begin to cure the meat.
  • About 30 minutes before beginning to barbecue, heat the grill.
  • Wrap ribs in heavy duty aluminum foil and place on the grill over indirect heat and slowly cook for about 2 hours, turning occasionally.
  • While the ribs are cooking, begin the sauce on the stovetop. Combine apple juice, tomato juice, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and barbecue sauce in a saucepan, stirring to mix well. Simmer over low heat until it beings to thicken. Let simmer for 1/2 hour. Reserve about 1 cup to serve on the side with the ribs, and use the rest to brush on the ribs as they barbecue.
  • When the meat begins to become fork tender, unwrap ribs and begin brushing on the sauce. Continue to apply the sauce to the ribs during the barbeque process. When ribs are able to pull apart, they are ready.

SPICY BABY BACK RIBS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h15m

Yield 15 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cans pop, such as Dr. Pepper
2 cups barbecue sauce
2 cups brown sugar
Two 5-ounce cans chipotle peppers in adobo
2/3 cup brown mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
6 cloves garlic, minced
6 racks pork baby back ribs

Steps:

  • To prepare the marinade, add the pop, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, chipotles, mustard, vinegar and garlic to a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until reduced and thick, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Divide into 2 containers and refrigerate one container for later.
  • Brush the remaining container of the marinade all over the ribs on both sides. Wrap each strip of ribs individually in foil and refrigerate for 8 hours to marinate.
  • When you're ready to cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Place the ribs, still covered in foil, onto baking sheets and cook for 2 hours. Increase the temperature to 300 degrees F. Open the foil packages and use the other container of marinade to brush another generous layer all over the ribs. Return the ribs to the oven with their foil packages still open and continue cooking for another 30 to 40 minutes, brushing on another layer of marinade as they cook.
  • Remove the ribs when they're fork-tender (keep cooking until they are). Slice and serve!

EASY FALL OFF THE BONE OVEN-BAKED RIBS



Easy Fall Off the Bone Oven-Baked Ribs image

Low and slow cooking make these oven-baked ribs fall off the bone tender. Once baked, we like to add our sweet and spicy barbecue sauce to the ribs, but use whatever you love. For the most tender ribs, we remove the thin membrane covering the back of the rack. Depending on where you have purchased ribs, this may already be done for you. If not, instructions are in the notes section below. FAQ: We call for baby back ribs in the recipe, but other types of ribs (spareribs, country-style, St. Louis-style) will work with this recipe. Cook time should be similar, we recommend that you check on the ribs while they cook to see how they are progressing. FAQ: Doubling or tripling the recipe below should not change the recipe method or bake time. You might need to use two pans for baking.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h15m

Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 2 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup ketchup, try our homemade ketchup recipe
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (suggestion Sriracha)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 275° Fahrenheit (135C).
  • If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.
  • Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you are using a spice rub, add season the ribs with it now. Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan).
  • Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat falls easily from the bones, 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. We like to check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they are progressing. The ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender.
  • While the ribs bake, make the barbecue sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the ketchup, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, season with salt then cook for 2 minutes. Set aside in preparation for the ribs to finish roasting.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
  • Optional: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so the sauce does not burn.)
  • Store baked ribs, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze, wrapped in foil or freezer paper and in an airtight container, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, and then reheat.
  • To reheat the ribs, wrap in foil or parchment paper and place into a 300°F oven until warmed through, about 30 minutes. If you have some leftover, slather some extra sauce that's been warmed over the ribs before serving.
