Barbecued Baby Back Ribs Food

FALL OFF THE BONE BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix Brown sugar with spices and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 2 piece broiler pan, the lower half filled with very hot water, then layer racks of rib on the top. Ribs can be left whole in racks and layered, I have done 6 at a time, they still come out great. Rub the brown sugar mixture liberally over each rack. Then using heavy duty tin foil, cover the pan so that no heat escapes. I usually double wrap the ribs. Set in oven for 3 hours and can be up to 5 hours. Remove foil carefully and cut ribs into a manageable length to grill them. If you try to grill the rack without making it smaller, some of the ribs will fall apart and the meat will literally fall off the bones! Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce, I like homemade or Sweet Baby Ray's brand. Grill over a very hot gas or charcoal rill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with plenty of napkins. These ribs are amazing!

'BARBECUED' BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Cut the vegetables into nice thick chunks. Halve the garlic and quarter the apples. Don't worry about the skins, seeds, etc. All will be strained later.
• Take the racks of ribs, and cut them in half, and season with salt, and pepper. In a large bowl, dredge the rib racks in flour on all sides. In a large wide pot, on high heat, add the oil, let it get hot, and sear the ribs, until brown on all sides. Don't tamper with them. Let their surface maintain a nice contact with the hot pan. It will take about 4 to 5 minutes, per side. Remove the meat, and drain the excess oil, leaving behind all of the solid meaty bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Add all the vegetables, apples, and a few sprigs each of herbs to the pot. Let them caramelize by leaving them to sit without tossing, for a few minutes, then toss to turn them, and let sit a bit longer. Return the ribs to the pot, and place them over the vegetables.
• In a large bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, cider vinegar, soy, and maple syrup. Add the chipotle peppers with their adobo sauce, to taste. Stir. Add the liquids to the cooking pot. Add the wine, and add enough water, if needed, to ensure that the ribs are just barely covered. Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Cover the pan with foil, and place in the oven until the ribs are barely fork tender - but not so tender they are falling off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the meat from the pot, and cut into rib sections, and set aside.
• Strain the solids out of the liquid. Return the liquid to the pan, and reduce by half (about 15 minutes), to make the barbecue glaze.
• When nearly done, remove a 1/2 cup of liquid and place it into a medium bowl, add the potato starch, and whisk until smooth. Whisk the mixture back into the pot. This will help thicken the glaze and give the shiny look and syrupy texture. Toss the ribs back into the glaze to warm and coat them.
• Mound the ribs up on a platter, and garnish with a handful of baby greens or sprouts, and serve with Warm Potato Salad.

BEST BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

• Prepare ribs by removing membrane from the back of the ribs (use a paper towel to grab the edge and pull), then rinse ribs under cool water and pat dry.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap larger than the rib piece on the counter and top with ribs.
• Take the rib rub and rub it into the meat on both sides using your fingers, trying to coat it as much as possible.
• Top the ribs with another sheet of plastic, wrapping it, then refrigerate ribs overnight.
• Remove ribs from refrigerator and allow the ribs to rise to room temp while the oven heats up to 250°F.
• Remove ribs from plastic and wrap in foil, placing the wrapped ribs on a large shallow baking sheet.

• Finish ribs on the grill, adding bbq sauce as soon as you put them on, and grilling for 6-8 minutes or until sauce sets.

OVEN-BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl combine all ingredients except ribs to make a sauce; season with salt and pepper. On a rack set in a roasting pan season ribs with salt and pepper and brush with a thick layer of sauce. Roast ribs, basting every 30 minutes, until tender and falling off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours.

• In a bowl, stir together mayonnaise with cilantro, garlic, salt and 7 turns black pepper. Add potatoes and onions and toss to combine thoroughly; cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving.

GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Turn the ribs bone-side up. Slip a paring knife between the thin membrane and the bone to loosen, then pull off the membrane. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, steak seasoning, cumin and oregano in a small bowl; rub all over the ribs. Place on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling: For a gas grill, turn off one or two of the center burners and reduce the remaining burners to medium low. On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to the sides, leaving the center open; set up a drip pan to avoid flare-ups.
• Oil the grill grates. Place the ribs bone-side down, overlapping slightly if needed, on the cooler part of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, rotating the rib racks once, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones, about 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.
• Mix the honey, vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Transfer the ribs to direct heat. Brush with the honey mixture and continue to grill, uncovered, brushing with the honey mixture once more, until glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into ribs.

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.

Steps:

• Build charcoal fire or preheat gas grill. Remove silver skin from back of ribs, if desired. Set up the grill for indirect heat and if using wood chips, place soaked chips directly on charcoal, or in smoking box of gas grill. Rub the cut lemons over front and back of ribs squeezing to release as much juice as possible. Set aside for 5 minutes. Rub ribs liberally with spice rub and let sit, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place ribs (bone side down) in the center of the cooking grate or in a rib holder/rack over direct medium Low heat, making sure they are not over a direct flame. Grill covered (at about 325 degrees F, if your grill has a thermometer) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones.
• Do not open the grill for the first 30 minutes--this means no peeking; especially important if using wood chips. If the ribs start to burn on the edges, stack them on top of one another in the very center of the grill and lower your fire slightly. Twenty minutes before serving, unstack ribs, if necessary and brush with barbecue sauce. Remove ribs from grill and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into individual or 2 to 3 rib portions. Warm remaining sauce in a saucepan and serve on the side, if desired.
• Combine paprika, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt and oregano in bowl; mix well. For a smoother rub, puree ingredients in a spice grinder until well combined and all pieces are uniform (the rub will be very fine and tan in color). This step is important if adding to any homemade barbecue sauce.
• Extra rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

BABY BACK RIBS WITH CAROLINA BASTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Combine the sugar, paprika, mustard powder, celery salt and garlic granules in a bowl, and rub all over the ribs. Place in 2 large roasting tins with racks set inside (if you don't have racks, that's fine). Pour 150ml water into the bottom of each tin, cover tightly with foil and roast for 3 hrs until nearly falling apart. If your roasting tins are on different shelves, swap them over halfway through the cooking time. Once cooked, remove and drain the cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, to make the baste, mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
• Heat an outdoor barbecue. Whether your grill is gas or charcoal, use low heat to barbecue the ribs. Cook the ribs for 3-4 mins each side, brushing regularly with the baste, until golden and sticky. Alternatively, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7 and roast the ribs for 25-30 mins, turning the ribs over and rotating the tins halfway through the cooking time.

BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Marinate ribs Rub paste evenly over ribs and wrap well in plastic. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours.
• Prepare grill Open the bottom vents and fill a chimney starter to the top with charcoal briquettes and allow them to burn until all are coated with a fine gray ash. Scrub grates with a grill brush and sweep lightly with oil. Push charcoal to one side of the grill and set the ribs on the opposite side. Rest an oven thermometer near the ribs. Cover the grill, then open the vents and position them over the ribs (this draws heat from coals to ribs).
• Grill ribs After 20 minutes, check on the temperature inside the grill. The thermometer should read 275°F to 300°F (open lid, if necessary, to lower temperature). Let the ribs cook like this for a total of about 2 hours, turning them over and rotating 90 degrees every 30 minutes and adding more coals after 1 hour. If the ribs seem to be getting too dark too soon, tent them with foil. After 2 hours, the ribs should be cooked through (to test doneness, lift and hold the rack with tongs-they should bend and start to break away at the bend point) and nicely charred in spots; if not, continue cooking and check frequently until they are ready (this could take up to about 30 minutes more). Brush ribs with some sauce and cook 15 minutes more. Transfer ribs to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving with remaining sauce.
• ABOUT BARBECUE
• The terms grilling and barbecuing are often used interchangeably, but there is an important (if little known) distinction between the two techniques. Barbecuing uses indirect heat at a very low temperature-even lower than indirect heat grilling-to slowly cook food with a combination of heat and smoke. The slow and low heat of barbecuing is ideally suited for large, tougher cuts of meat, such as whole briskets and racks of ribs. Grilling, on the other hand, uses a more intense direct heat that browns the meat, but that doesn't add the depth of smokiness that distinguishes true barbecue.
• Equipment
• A 22-inch round charcoal grill is ideal for grilling ribs, as it will allow enough room for both hot and cool spots created by the charcoal. An 18-inch grill will also work, but you will need to start with fewer briquettes and to replenish them more frequently during cooking. Either way, they must be tended to with a watchful eye. Although it burns hotter than briquettes, hardwood lump charcoal can be used instead: Fill a chimney starter three-fourths full and add a handful of coals every 20 minutes; if the temperature in the grill rises too high, wait about 30 minutes before adding more coals. The trick is to know when the coals are starting to burn out, which can cause a significant decline in temperature; adding more coals at the right time will help maintain steady heat.

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate.
• In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.
• Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
• Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you're using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.
• Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.
