Baby Back Ribs With Espresso Bbq Sauce Food

FOOLPROOF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE

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.

BABY BACK RIBS WITH TROPICAL BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Tropical Rub:
• Whisk all ingredients together.
• For the ribs:
• Rinse and dry ribs. Place on a clean cutting board and pull off the membrane, the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with 1/4 cup of the tropical dry rub. Wrap ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours so flavors can permeate.
• Preheat grill to 200 to 225 degrees F using charcoal and indirect heat.
• Place ribs meatier side down on the grill away from the flame. Cook the ribs 2 to 2 1/2 hours total, turning the ribs halfway through, until ribs bend.
• In a food processor, add the ginger, jalapeno and green onion. Pulse until they are finely chopped. In a medium saucepan, add the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ginger mixture and saute until tender. Combine the ketchup, mango juice, passion fruit juice, cider vinegar, molasses and dry mustard in a bowl and add to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes for the flavors to blend.

BBQ BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Working with one rack of ribs at a time, slip a knife between the bones and thin membrane to loosen, then grab the membrane with a paper towel and pull it off. Put the ribs on a baking sheet and rub the spice rub on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
• Prepare a grill for indirect grilling: For a gas grill, preheat to medium high; after about 10 minutes, turn off one or two of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium low. For a charcoal grill, light the charcoal; once the coals have just ashed over, carefully push them to opposite sides of the grill and set a drip pan in the middle to avoid flare-ups.
• Place the ribs bone-side down on the cooler part of the grill (overlap the rib racks slightly to fit, if necessary). Cover and cook, rotating the position of the rib racks once halfway through, until the meat is tender and pulls back from the ends of the bones, 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes. Flip and move to direct heat and cook, uncovered, until charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into pieces.

MICHAEL CHIARELLO'S BABYBACK RIBS WITH ESPRESSO BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Cut each rack of ribs in half along the bone so they can be easily stacked. Lay them out on the parchment paper in which they were wrapped for easy cleanup.

On a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil, stack the ribs close together, about 3 layers high. Place in the oven for 2 hours, shifting the bottom layer of ribs to the top every 30 minutes until they are tender and almost falling off the bone.
• One half hour before serving, transfer ribs to a preheated grill (if using coals, make sure they have burnt down to an ember). Brush ribs with Espresso Sauce and close grill. Continue to turn and brush the ribs with sauce every 10 minutes, about 3 more times.
• Fresh ground black pepper
• Mash garlic with the side of a knife and then mince finely to release oils.
