Bourbon Barbecue Pork Ribs Food

BOURBON-BBQ GLAZED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl and mix together well.
• Tear a large enough piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to place rack of ribs on it and be able to fully cover, meat side up. Evenly coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it in with your hands.
• Fold up the sides of the foil to create a rim, and pour the apple juice in around the ribs. Fold the foil over the ribs and crimp it to create a tight seal. Tear off one more piece of large foil and wrap the whole thing again to ensure a tight seal.
• Place the wrapped ribs in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F and cook ribs for about 4 hours. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they shouldn't be falling off the bone.
• Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken and reduce by about a third, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat grill to high heat. Cover the grill rack with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place the cooked ribs meat side up on the grill and brush the top with a layer of sauce. Close grill until the sauce is mostly dried, about 5 minutes. Brush another layer of sauce on top and close grill for an additional 5 minutes. Remove ribs from grill and lightly brush with one more layer of sauce.
• Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.

STICKY MAPLE AND BOURBON PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs:
• Place the vinegar, water, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, rock salt and onion in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
• Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the pork is tender.
• For the glaze:
• Place the bourbon, maple syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika and salt flakes in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until slightly reduced. Set aside.
• To finish:
• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
• Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place, meat-side down, in a large deep-sided ovenproof dish. Top with the glaze and roast for 15 minutes.
• Turn the ribs over, baste with the glaze and roast for a further 15 minutes or until the pork is tender and the glaze is reduced. Brush with any remaining glaze and slice to serve.

BOURBON BARBECUED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, then turn off the burners on one side and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side.
• Whisk 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3 cups warm water in a large bowl. Add the pork and soak 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the bourbon, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, the garlic and ginger in an ovenproof saucepan. Put on the grill over direct heat; bring to a boil, then remove from the grill.
• Grill the onion and tomatoes over direct heat until charred, about 3 minutes per side for the tomato and 4 to 5 minutes per side for the onion. Add to the saucepan, then return the pan to the grill and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 15 more minutes.
• Remove the chops from the brine; pat dry. Brush with the vegetable oil and grill over direct heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill and cook 3 to 4 more minutes per side, brushing with the sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce and vegetables.

DYNAMITE BOURBON RIBS

Steps:

• Process brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, and garlic in a food processor or blender to mince garlic with other ingredients. Pour over ribs, and marinate for several hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Place ribs on grate, and cover. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on thickness of your ribs. When finished, the internal temperature of the ribs should be 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer.

BBQ BOURBON RIBS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Place half the ribs in single layer on center of large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Mix sugar and seasonings; rub half evenly onto both sides of ribs. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and one end to seal packet. Add 1/4 cup orange juice to packet through open end. Double fold remaining end, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Repeat to make second packet.
• Place packets on grate of grill; cover with lid. Grill 45 min. to 1 hour or until ribs are done. Remove ribs from foil; discard foil.
• Return ribs to grill; brush with combined barbecue sauce and bourbon. Grill 15 min., turning occasionally and brushing with remaining sauce.

BOURBON PORK RIBS MARINADE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan until brown sugar is dissolved. Remove sauce from the heat and allow to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove membrane from back of ribs and any extra fatty pieces. Place the ribs in a large dish.
• Cover ribs with half of the sauce and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 hours. Reserve the other half of sauce for later.
• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Remove ribs from the dish and reserve marinade .
• Place the ribs on the grill and allow them to cook for 20 minutes, turning once.
• Cover ribs loosely with foil and cook for an additional hour and a half.
• Once ribs reach an internal temperature of 165 F, remove from heat, place on a cutting board, and let ribs rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully open foil packaging and discard.
• Heat reserved sauce, brush some over ribs, and carve.
• Serve the remaining sauce with ribs.

SPICE-RUBBED BABY BACK RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE-BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet. If the concave side of your ribs still has its papery membrane intact, remove it: Pry it up at the end of the bones using the tip of a meat thermometer or butter knife, then pull it off with a paper towel. Lightly brush the ribs on both sides with the mustard.
• Prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine the chile powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper and celery seeds. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons rub for serving, then sprinkle the remaining rub on the ribs, coating both sides.
• Set up your charcoal grill for indirect grilling and heat to 300 degrees.
• Once the grill comes to temperature, add half the wood chunks or chips to the coals. Arrange the ribs meat (rounded) side up on the grate away from the heat, then cover the grill. Grill the ribs over indirect heat for 1 hour.
• After the ribs have grilled for 1 hour, spray on both sides with apple cider (if using), turning the ribs with tongs. Add the remaining wood chunks or chips to the fire and close the grill again.
• While the ribs grill, prepare the barbecue sauce: Place all the sauce ingredients, along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, in a heavy saucepan and whisk to mix. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often. Reduce the heat and gently simmer the sauce, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, 6 to 8 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste; set aside. (Makes about 2 cups.)
• Continue grilling the ribs over indirect heat, rounded side up, until sizzling, browned, tender, and the meat has shrunk back from the ends of the bones by 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This normally takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours in all, but sometimes you'll need a full 3 hours. The last 20 minutes, brush the ribs on both sides with some of the barbecue sauce. When ready, the meat should be tender enough so you can pull the individual ribs apart with your fingers.
• Brush each rack on both sides with more barbecue sauce. Move each rack directly over the fire and direct grill to sizzle the sauce into the meat, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer the ribs to a platter for serving. Brush once more with barbecue sauce and sprinkle the ribs with the remaining rub. Serve the remaining sauce in a bowl on the side.

HONEY BOURBON RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare the pork ribs by slicing them into individual ribs, I prefer a rib with a fair bit of meat on it (Often called a Chinese rib in Australia).
• Pour the honey bourbon into a saucepan with a lid, place over a small burner and simmer on a low heat, light the bourbon with a match carefully to burn off some of the alcohol and caramelize the honey. After 2 minutes turn off the heat, and cover the saucepan with a lid to extinguish the flame.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine, then pour the sauce into a plastic bag and add the ribs, squeezing out any excess air and tying off the bag to place in the fridge for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
• Place the ribs and sauce into a baking tray and seal the tray with aluminum foil, then place into an oven at 90C for 4 hours.
• You can eat them at this point but I like to BBQ them for 2 minutes a side to get some nice grill marks on them and give it more of a smoky flavor.
