Oven Roasted Aromatic Ribs With A Bourbon Orange Glaze Food

OVEN ROASTED AROMATIC RIBS WITH A BOURBON & ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Put the pork ribs in a large roasting tin and pour over cold water until they are barely covered. Carefully place in the oven and cook for 1 hour. This tenderises the meat and removes much of the fat, but it makes the ribs look grey and unappetising at this stage. Don't worry - they'll be dark and glossy once they are roasted.
• Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients for the glaze in a saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the marmalade has dissolved. Turn up the heat and allow the mixture to bubble until it has reduced by about one quarter.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C. Tip the ribs and liquid into a colander in the sink and give the colander a good shake to remove any excess liquid. Return the ribs to the roasting tin, pour over the glaze and turn them until they're evenly coated. Roast in the oven for 50 minutes until the ribs are covered in a sticky glaze, turning and basting at least twice. Serve hot, with a herby green salad.

BOURBON BARBECUE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 290 degrees F.
• Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a proportionate size deep roasting pan. Add 1 cup barbecue sauce and 2 cups water over the ribs until almost completely submerged; if not add a bit more sauce and water or use a smaller pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, place on center rack of the oven, and bake for about 2 hours or until meat is almost falling off the bone. Remove, drain liquid immediately, and coat cooked ribs with fresh barbecue sauce. It is best to make the ribs a day ahead up to this point. Refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature before grilling.
• Preheat a grill to high. Place ribs on grill and grill for just a few minutes on each side. Serve.
• Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Reserve.

THE BEST OVEN ROASTED RIBS

Steps:

• Adjust one oven rack to low position, remove remaining oven rack, and heat oven to 250°.
• Mix a dry rub of the sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl.
• Mix mustard and liquid smoke in another bowl.
• Lay ribs directly on removed oven rack and lightly sprinkle with salt.
• Brush both sides of slab with mustard mix and then sprinkle both sides with dry rub.
• Line jelly roll pan with a large sheet of heavy duty foil, extending foil so it covers oven rack.
• Slide rack with ribs into upper-middle position and place foil lined pan on lower oven rack, making sure that foil covers rack.
• Bake/roast ribs until fork-tender, 2-3 hours for spareribs and 1 1/2 hours-2 hours for baby back ribs.
• If coating ribs with barbecue sauce, remove foil lined jelly roll pan from oven and pour off excess fat.
• Transfer ribs to foil lined pan meat side up.
• Turn on broiler and brush ribs with sauce and broil until bubbly but not burned.
• Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

ORANGE GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat greased grill to low heat.
• Mix barbecue sauce, zest, juice and pepper.
• Place ribs, bone-sides down, on grill.
• Grill, uncovered, 30 min. on each side. Brush with barbecue sauce mixture. Grill 30 min. or until ribs are done (160°F), turning and brushing occasionally with barbecue sauce mixture.

EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250* F.
• Season all sides of the ribs with your favorite rub.
• Using a 13x9x2 baking dish (or most likely a larger 15x11x2), place the ribs into the pan, do not over crowd. If using Baby Back slabs, place bone side facing up. If using individual Country Style (St. Louis), lay on their side.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and place on center rack of pre-heated oven. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours (depending on the size of the ribs you are using).
• Remove the ribs from oven and drain any grease from dish; reserving the foil for later use (waste not, want not). Flip the ribs over (meaty side up) and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and return the dish to the oven (un-covered) for an additional 30 minutes.
• Once done, remove the ribs to a platter, loosely tent the platter with the reserved foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This step is important -- the resting period gives the ribs time to re-distribute their juices, just like a steak would).
• Enjoy!
