Make And Take Sticky Ribs Food

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.

STICKY BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.
• If your ribs still have the membrane/silver skin on the back of the rack attached, remove it by loosening the skin with a knife until you can grab it with a piece of paper towel. Pull the membrane off and discard.
• Combine the salt, sugar, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder then generously season the ribs on both sides. Place in two baking dishes or foil trays. .
• Pour in the apple juice, cover with foil and place in the oven. Allow to bake for 2½-3 hours or until the ribs are tender.
• To make the barbecue sauce, combine the tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce is thick and smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Once the ribs are tender, remove from the oven and set aside while you prepare the grill. Preheat the grill for at least 5 minutes. Heat should be medium-high as you don't want the barbecue sauce to burn before the ribs are glazed.
• Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce then place on the grill. Allow to cook for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing the ribs regularly with the barbecue sauce.
• Remove the ribs from the grill, allow to rest for 5 minutes then slice and serve

KILLER STICKY RIBS, RUB AND SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the rub in a plastic bag or tightly lidded container. Be sure there are no clumps of brown sugar and that spices are well distributed and combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the rub for the sauce. (If only using enough rub for fewer than 4 racks of ribs, separate amount of rub you will need so as not to contaminate what is left over. You may store additional rub mixture in a sealed container or zip top bag for further use - it works very well on pork chops or chicken.).
• Remove membrane from the underside of ribs. This can be easily done by using a paring knife to loosen one edge of the membrane and then, using paper towel to grab the membrane, pull it off. Rinse off ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Apply remaining rub on both sides of ribs. Wrap the ribs plastic or use an extra large food grade zip top bag. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours or at least 3 hours.
• 30 minutes before being ready to put ribs on grill, remove them from refrigerator and allow them to come closer to room temperature. On a gas grill set flame so that the temperature with the grill lid closed is 200-250°F Place water in a small aluminum pan (I use a loaf pan) on one side of the grill. This will allow a moist heat to penetrate the meat and allow for more moistness. Don't allow the water to evaporate completely. If you can use wood chips to smoke the meat with your grill, this is the time to get the chips smoking.
• Place ribs on the grill bone side down and leave them on the grill for 1½ to 3 hours at this temperature (depending upon how much time you have and how tender you want the meat). I try to turn the ribs about every 30-40 minutes. It will be necessary to turn the ribs at least once. This is actually something that you need to see when it's time to do. Check your ribs periodically to be sure that they are not getting charred and that your grill is not too hot. Depending upon your grill, you may have to turn the ribs more often to avoid hot spots or flame ups. If you haven't already done so, at about the 2 hour point, you'll need to turn the ribs over. Allow them an additional 1 1/2 - 2 hours on the grill depending upon your time schedule. The more time they are done low and slow, the more tender they will become.
• (If you can't or don't want to grill the ribs, heat oven to 250°F Place ribs on a wire rack on top of a jelly roll pan. Place water in the bottom of the pan so that it does not come up to the rack. Use foil to tightly wrap the entire pan. Bake in oven for 3-4 hours.).
• While grilling the ribs, mix all ingredients for the sauce in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved spices and add to the sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• If you prefer, mop the some of the sauce onto the ribs in the last 10 minutes of grilling. Leave the rest of the sauce so that guests can add their own sauce according to their tastes.
• Upon removing ribs from the grill, cut them into smaller sections or individual ribs (usually they're ready to fall apart). Serve immediately to a very happy crowd.

OVEN-BAKED SWEET AND STICKY PORK BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In a bowl mix soy sauce, orange marmalade, pineapple juice, honey, garlic, fresh ginger, lemon juice, rosemary and black pepper.
• Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels; place half of the ribs in each of 2 heavy plastic ziploc freezer bags (1-gallon size).
• Pour half of the soy sauce mixture into each bag, seal bags, toss to coat ribs with marinade.
• Set in a large bowl and refrigerate from 8-24 hours turning occasionally.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 11 x 17-inch or a 12 x 15-inch baking pan with foil.
• Set a rack in the pan, then arrange the ribs in a single layer with edges curving down on rack.
• Pour the remaining marinade from the bags into a bowl.
• Bake the ribs basting with the remaining marinade about every 20 minutes for the first hour, until the meat is well browned and pulls easily from the bones (about 1-1/4 hours total baking time).
• Transfer the ribs to a serving platter and cut between bones.
• Delicious!

REALLY STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a large bowl, mix together the passata, garlic, soy sauce, honey and Worcestershire sauce.
• Add the pork ribs to the bowl and mix well to coat evenly. Lay the ribs and all the sauce into a large, shallow roasting tin. Cover with foil and bake for 35 mins.
• Remove foil from tray and bake the ribs for a further 45-60 mins, turning them a couple of times, until sticky and almost all of the sauce has disappeared. To make ahead, cook or half-cook the ribs the night before and keep in the fridge until needed.
