SOUS VIDE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Set sous vide machine to 74C/165F.
• Remove the membrane from the backside of the rack of ribs. Do this by sliding a table knife under the membrane anywhere along the rack. Lift and loosen it with the knife until you can grab it with a paper towel. Pull it off the ribs; it should peel away in one large sheet, but if it breaks, use the knife to restart at another section.
• Lightly season the rack of ribs with salt. Put the ribs in a freezer bag, and remove the air through a vacuum sealer or the displacement method. Note: the ribs may have to be cut in half to fit in to bag. Place rack of ribs in the bath, and cook for 12 hours.
• Take ribs out of the bath and pat dry with paper towel. Combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, brown sugar, pepper, salt and cayenne pepper in a small bowl, then season generously on both sides.
• Turn grill on high. Place ribs on grill, meat side down, for 5 minutes. Flip the ribs over and coat the top with your favorite BBQ sauce. After 2-3 more minutes, take the ribs off the grill and coat with BBQ sauce again. Let rest for 5 minutes, and enjoy the most tender, flavorful ribs of your life!
• Alternative instruction - If you do not have a grill, you can also finish the ribs in the oven. Set oven to 350F, and bake for 10 minutes. Take ribs out and coat the rack with your favorite BBQ sauce. Turn on broiler and place ribs back in oven for 2-3 more minutes. Take the ribs out of the oven and coat with BBQ sauce again. Let rest for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

SIMPLE TENDER SOUS VIDE BABY BACK RIBS MASTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Start your sous vide machine preheating. I prefer 150°F (65.6°C) for a perfect braise-like texture that is extra juicy but many people want a more shreddable, fall-apart version at 165°F (73.9°C).
• Trim off any fat or gristle. Salt the pork then coat with any spices.
• Seal the pork in a sous vide bag, Ziploc-brand freezer bag, silicon bag, or other food- and heat-safe bag or zip top bag.
• Cook the pork until tenderized, usually 18 to 36 hours for pork baby back ribs.
• Take the sous vide bag out of the water and remove the cooked baby back ribs. Dry it off thoroughly using paper towels or a dish cloth.
• Sear the baby back ribs for 1 to 2 minutes per side over high heat. It should just start to brown but the core temperature shouldn't rise. Remove it from the heat.
• Place the baby back ribs onto a plate with any salads or sides then serve.

SOUS VIDE PORK BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Place a heat-resistant pad underneath a large pot filled with water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 155 degrees F (68°C).
• Combine brown sugar, kosher salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl; mix well. Remove rough membranes from the ribs and cut each rack into thirds. Rub spice mixture onto the fleshy side of the meat. Place each rack into a plastic bag and seal.
• Once water temperature has reached 155 degrees F (68°C), submerge both bags in the water. Open the seal of the bags and allow any air to escape. Reseal. Make sure bags are completely submerged. Cover pot with aluminum foil so steam does not escape.
• Set the timer for 24 hours, checking water level occasionally. Add more water of the same temperature water if necessary.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the bags and pat dry. Place ribs on the prepared baking sheet and brush with barbecue sauce.
• Broil for 4 minutes. Remove ribs from the oven, brush with more BBQ sauce, and broil until sauce starts to caramelize, about 3 more minutes.
