STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl (I did 30 grinds).
• Place the ribs on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the dry rub all over the top of the meaty side of the ribs. Wrap the foil around the ribs and seal tightly so that no juices can escape during baking. Bake until the meat is tender and can easily be pulled away from the bones with a fork, about 2 hours.
• Heat the BBQ sauce in a small pan over medium heat until warm. Remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil pack. Remove the ribs from the foil and pour any juices that have accumulated into the BBQ sauce and mix to combine. Continue to simmer the sauce until thickened, about 7 minutes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan for cooking at medium-high heat.
• Slice the ribs into 1-bone pieces. Brush all over with the BBQ sauce. Place the ribs on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, a few minutes on each side. Brush with more BBQ sauce and remove from the heat, then serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
• Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
• When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
• Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
• Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
• Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.

SWEET AND SPICY ASIAN BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to approximately 250 degrees F.
• Lightly season the ribs with the five-spice powder so it forms a light crust. Put the ribs, meat side up, over an area of the grill with indirect heat. Let the ribs cook for 2 hours.
• While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook slowly to render its fat, about 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the particles with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallot and garlic, and saute until fragrant and slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the light soy sauce and rice vinegar. Allow the liquid to deglaze the pan for a moment, and then whisk vigorously to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hoisin sauce and ketchup, and continue whisking together until well incorporated. Simmer the glaze for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, apricot preserves and brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger, whisk and keep simmering for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the chili sauce and let the sauce simmer for a final 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce in a separate bowl.
• After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, begin basting them with the barbecue sauce. Coat them well once every 15 minutes, until the ribs reach an internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Slice the ribs between each bone and arrange them on a serving dish. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and garnish with the chopped green onions.

ASIAN STYLE STICKY RIBS RECIPE | TRAEGER GRILLS

Steps:

• When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 165°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
• Generously rub each rack of ribs with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub. Place directly on the grill grate and smoke for 1 hour.
• Line a large roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Once ribs have smoked for 1 hour, add ribs to the pan and increase the Traeger temperature to 300°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sake, orange juice, brown sugar and cayenne. Whisk until the sugar crystals dissolve. Add the garlic, ginger and whites of the scallions (reserve the green tops for garnish).
• Open grill lid and pour mixture evenly over the ribs in the pan, turning the racks to coat them.
• Place the ribs meat-side down in the sauce. Cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until they are tender, about 3 to 3-1/2 hours, or until rib meat pulls away from the bones about 1/2 inch.
• Move ribs to a cutting board and let rest.
• Leave the Traeger on. Make the Glaze: Strain the cooking juices into a heat-proof container, such as a Pyrex measuring cup, and measure 3 cups. (Discard any solids or extra liquid.) Skim off any excess fat.
• Add the cooking liquid to a large saucepan or skillet. Stir in the jelly and cider vinegar, and bring to a boil on the stovetop over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/3. Remove from the heat.
• In the meantime, using a sharp knife, slice the rib racks into individual ribs. (Each rack should yield 10 to 13 bones.) Working in batches, add the ribs to the glaze, turning them to coat with tongs.
• Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grate or return them to the pan they were cooked in and grill for 5 to 10 minutes, turning as needed to warm the ribs and "tighten" the sauce. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!

EASY GRILLED STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Mix salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Line a large sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place rack of ribs on the prepared pan, bone side down. Poke all over with a sharp knife. Make shallow slits across at an angle, and then repeat the opposite way; this allows the dry rub to penetrate. Coat on both sides with rub; flip back over, ensuring the bone side is down. Wrap tightly with foil.
• Transfer to the center of the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very ashy and hot.
• Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap, and brush off excess fat. Slice between the bones to separate each rib.
• Combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and cayenne with a spoon in a bowl for glaze.
• Place ribs on the preheated grill and cook for 2 minutes; flip and brush over glaze. Flip and repeat process until ribs are as caramelized as you prefer, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove to a plate and brush over one more application of glaze. Serve.
