Tender Pork Spare Ribs

Tender Pork Spare Ribs - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Mix brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl.

  3. Rub both sides of pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture.

  4. Place spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

  5. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Whisk together beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Set aside.

  6. Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. Place a rack of spare ribs on each sheet, meaty-side up.

  7. Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the spare ribs, shiny-side up. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet.

  8. Just before sealing completely, divide beer mixture evenly into each packet.

  9. Complete the seal. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.

  10. Bake ribs in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

  11. Carefully open each packet and drain drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet.

  12. Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and set aside.

  13. Heat the saucepan over medium-high and simmer drippings until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

  14. Brush the thickened sauce over ribs.

  15. Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Return ribs to the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.

Sweet Smoked Pork Ribs

Sweet Smoked Pork Ribs - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. To make the rub: Stir salt, white sugar, brown sugar, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and cumin together in a small bowl.

  3. Rub spice mixture all over ribs; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. To make the sauce: Stir apple juice, brown sugar, and barbeque sauce together until well combined. Set aside.

  5. Unwrap ribs and arrange in a single layer onto the wire racks of the smoker. Place the racks into a smoker, fill the smoker pan with apple, grape, pear, or cherry chips, and heat the smoker to 270 degrees F (130 degrees C). Cook ribs for 1 hour.

  6. Brush ribs with sauce and continue cooking, basting with sauce every 30 to 40 minutes, until pork is no longer pink and begins to shrink back from bones, 3 to 4 hours.

  7. Brush sauce onto ribs one last time and remove them from the smoker. Wrap ribs tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest until juices reabsorb into meat, 10 to 15 minutes.

  8. Enjoy!

Memphis-Style Pork Ribs

Memphis-Style Pork Ribs - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Remove the membrane:

    For more tender pork ribs that better absorb the flavor of the rub, remove the thin, whitish membrane found on the underside of the rack. Lay the rack on a work surface with the curved side up. Grab the membrane in a corner and give it a firm pull. If it resists, slip a knife (a table knife works) between the membrane and one of the bones at the end of the rack to loosen the membrane. Wad up a paper towel and use that to help get a better grip if you need to. Just keep pulling and the membrane should come off in one piece.

    Repeat with the other rack of ribs.

    Remove the membrane:
  2. Make the dry rub and rub all over ribs:

    Mix all the dry ingredients together. Rub them all over the ribs and, if you have time, set them in the fridge overnight.

    Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek

    Make the dry rub and rub all over ribs:
  3. Grill over low, indirect heat for 1 hour:

    Get your grill or smoker going. You want pretty low heat, about 200 to 220°F if you can measure it. Make sure you have a spot to put the ribs that is not directly over the heat source. Lay the ribs down. They should not sizzle. If they do, cool the grill down until the ribs no longer sizzle when placed down. Cover the grill or smoker and walk away for 1 hour.

    Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek

    Grill over low, indirect heat for 1 hour:
  4. Continue grilling 4 hours:

    Every hour or so after the initial hour of grilling, turn and rotate the ribs so they cook evenly. You should not have to baste them if you do this: the fat in the ribs will do the basting for you.

    When you rotate the ribs, keep monitoring the grill temperature so it's in that 200 to 220°F.

    Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek

    Continue grilling 4 hours:
  5. Check for doneness:

    Depending on how hot your set-up is and at what stage of doneness you like your ribs, they will be done in 4 to 8 hours.

    How do you know when the ribs are done? When you lift a rack from the grill with tongs, and give the tongs a jostle, you should see a crack form in the slightly charred crust, exposing the rosy pink meat underneath.

Grilled Spicy Citrus Ribs With Bourbon Glaze

Grilled Spicy Citrus Ribs With Bourbon Glaze - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brine:

    Combine the juices and water and measure in a measuring cup. You should have exactly 2 1/2 cups liquid. If you have less, add enough water so that you have 2 1/2 cups of liquid, if you have more, discard the excess. The correct ratio of liquid to salt is important for the brine to work properly.

    Place liquids in a medium sized bowl, add other brine ingredients—salt, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir for half a minute until the salt has completely dissolved.

    Prepare the brine:
  2. Prepare the ribs:

    Remove the thin membrane that lines the concave side of each rib rack. This will make it easier for the brine and spices to penetrate as well as easier to cut and eat when the ribs are done. Insert a dull knife edge between the membrane and ribs to loosen. Grip the loosened membrane and pull away to remove.

    Cut the racks in half. Put in a plastic zip top freezer bag. Add the brine to the bag. Squeeze the excess air out of the bag and seal. Massage the brine into the ribs. Place the bag of brine and ribs into a bowl (in case there is leakage) and place into the refrigerator.

    Refrigerate in the brine for 3 to 6 hours. Note that brining too long can over-saturate the meat with the brine. So stick within the 3 to 6 hour time frame.

    Prepare the ribs:
  3. Prepare the bourbon glaze:

    Heat the bourbon with sugar, peppers, and salt. Whisk in the butter until melted. Set aside or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Warm before using. You can also prepare while the meat is cooking.

    Prepare the bourbon glaze:
  4. Prepare the grill for indirect heat:

    On a gas grill, heat the grill to medium heat 300 to 325°F with the middle burners turned off (if a 3 or 4 burner grill) or one burner turned off (if a 2 burner grill).

    For a kettle grill with charcoal, use 3 to 4 pounds of briquets pushed to one side of the grill. An aluminum disposable drip pan set next to the briquets, underneath where the meat will be, will help keep your grill easier to clean. (I forgot this time, notice no drip pan in the photo, and now the grill's a mess.)

  5. Grill the ribs and regulate the grill temperature:

    Remove the ribs from the brining bag. Pat dry the ribs with paper towels. Brush grill grates with olive oil or canola oil. Place the ribs on the side of the grill away from the source of heat, either gas or briquets. Cover the grill.

    If you are using a gas grill, lower the burners so that you are maintaining a temperature of about 300°F to 325°F in the grill.

    If you are charcoal grilling, cover the grill so that the air vent on the kettle top is directly over the ribs. This way smoke from the charcoal will waft its way over the ribs on the way out of the grill.

    Adjust the vents so that the air flow is much reduced. Reducing the size of the air vents is a way to help control the temperature in the grill and keep it low. Fire lives off of oxygen, so if you reduce the oxygen, you reduce the amount of burning and heat. If you close the vents too much, the charcoals will put out too little heat, so the trick is to maintain a balance - enough air flow to keep the coals alive, but not too much or the grill will run too hot and your ribs will overcook.

    Try to maintain a temperature of about 300°F to 325°F in the grill. If you are using a charcoal grill that doesn't have a built-in thermometer, you can put a meat thermometer through the grill air vent to take a reading of the temp.

    Grill the ribs and regulate the grill temperature:
  6. Flip the ribs:

    After 20 to 25 minutes of cooking, use tongs to flip the rib racks over. If you are charcoal grilling, shift the ends of the ribs as well so that the end that was facing the coals now faces the edge of the grill.

    Check for doneness using a meat thermometer after 15 to 20 more minutes. They are done and ready to pull off at 155°F, but you want to get to them 10 minutes or so before they are done to apply the glaze.

    Flip the ribs:
  7. Glaze the ribs:

    At about 145°F start applying the spicy bourbon glaze. Brush the ribs with the glaze syrup, turning and basting the ribs until the syrup has been used up. When an instant read thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the ribs reads 155°F, the ribs are ready to take off the grill.

    Note that depending on the amount of heat in the grill and the size of your ribs, the ribs could be done in as little as 45 minutes or as long as 90 minutes. If the grill temperature stays more at about 350°F, then the ribs will be done faster. It's hard to maintain a charcoal grill lower than 350°F, though ideally for these ribs you do want the temp lower, closer to 300°F. Also note again that baby backs are smaller than St. Louis style and will cook faster.

    Glaze the ribs:
  8. Serve the ribs:

    Cut into 1- or 2-rib sections and place on a large serving platter.

    Serve the ribs:

Galbi Jjim 갈비찜 (Korean Braised Short Ribs) - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Soak the mushrooms:

    In a medium bowl, add the dried mushrooms and hot water. Place a small plate or bowl on the mushrooms to keep them submerged in the water. Soak them until the caps softened, about 30 minutes.

    Using a knife, trim off the stems (store them for making vegetable stock if you’d like). Keep the small mushrooms whole and halve the larger ones. Set the mushrooms and the soaking liquid aside in separate bowls.

  2. Meanwhile, sear the ribs:

    Season the meaty sides of the ribs with the salt and black pepper.

    In a large Dutch oven or a wide heavy-bottomed pot large enough to hold all of the ribs in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Place the ribs in a single layer so that they don’t touch or overlap. You may need to work in batches.

    Sear the ribs, turning them occasionally until all the meaty sides are nicely browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. The first batch of ribs will take longer than the following batches as the pot gets hotter as you go. Transfer the seared ribs into a large bowl.

    Meanwhile, sear the ribs:
  3. Make the purée:

    In a blender, add the pear and purée on low speed until it liquifies into a chunky paste. When using the blender, it helps to have some liquid to get things moving so I start with the juicy pear before adding the other ingredients. Add the garlic, onions, and ginger and purée on medium speed until smooth. Set it aside.

    Make the purée:
  4. Braise the ribs:

    When the ribs have all been seared, pour any of the oil remaining in the pot into a small heatproof bowl. Discard the oil when cool.

    Return the pot to medium-high heat and add the purée. Use a rubber spatula to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the scallions, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and honey.

    If there’s sediment in the bottom of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into the pot. If not, just add it to the pot.

    Return the ribs, and any juices that have accumulated in the bowl, to the pot. Position the ribs so that the bones are facing up and the meat is submerged. It may be a tight fit, but the meat will shrink while it cooks.

    The liquid in the pot should reach almost the top of the ribs, which won’t be fully covered. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer gently until the meat is fork tender but not falling off the bones, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the scallions and discard it.

  5. Add the vegetables:

    Add the soaked mushrooms, carrots, and daikon, pushing them down to submerge into the liquid. Cook, partially covered, until the vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

  6. Serve:

    Transfer the ribs, vegetables, and some of the braising liquid into a large serving bowl. Garnish with the scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve with rice.

    You will have some leftover braising liquid. It’s perfect for drizzling over rice or cook more vegetables in them, like potatoes.

Country-Style Ribs on the Grill

Country-Style Ribs on the Grill - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut and salt the ribs:

    Country ribs are usually more than a foot long. We recommend slicing them in half before cooking, as they'll be easier to handle. Coat the ribs in oil and then salt them well.

    Much of the fat will render away in cooking, leaving a crispy-salty-fatty bit you will be fighting over with your friends.

    Cut and salt the ribs:
  2. Slow cook the ribs for 90 min to start:

    To cook the ribs, you have several choices. You can bake them in a 250°F oven (line a baking pan with foil and cover the pan).

    You can slow-roast them in a gas grill (covered) with half the burners turned off (put them on the side that is not over direct flame).

    You can set up a large charcoal grill like a smoker and cook the country ribs on the cool side (again covered). But best of all would be to build a wood fire on one side of the grill and slowly barbecue these ribs over woodsmoke.

    No matter what you do, let the ribs cook untouched for 90 minutes. At the 90-minute mark, turn them and paint them with your barbecue sauce – we like the sweet-spicy Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce for this, but you could also use a South Carolina mustard-based barbecue sauce, a Bourbon BBQ sauce, or a traditional Kansas City-style sauce.

  3. Every 30 minutes or so, turn your ribs and paint them again with the sauce:

    How long to cook? Depends on how hot your fire is. At least 3 hours. Maybe as many as 5 hours. You really, really want to slow-cook these ribs because they are pretty fatty. The slower you cook them, the more fat renders out and the smoother your ribs will be. Take your time.

    Every 30 minutes or so, turn your ribs and paint them again with the sauce:
  4. Move to hot side of grill or broil:

    When the meat begins to fall apart – you’ll notice this when you turn the rib – you’re ready for the final step. Paint the ribs one more time and then move them to the hot side of the grill. If you are using the oven method, move the ribs to the broiler.

    Let the ribs cook a minute or two so the sauce can caramelize. Pay attention, and do not let the ribs get too blackened. A little char is good, but you don’t want a briquette.

    Serve with coleslaw, potato salad, deviled eggs or whatever you’d like. Oh, and napkins. Lots of napkins.

Slow Cooker Bourbon Short Ribs with Cheesy Grits

Slow Cooker Bourbon Short Ribs with Cheesy Grits - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Quickly brown the short ribs:

    Toss flour with salt and pepper and coat ribs well in the mixture.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and brown well on all sides, working in batches so as to not crowd the pan.

    When the short ribs are browned well, transfer them to a slow cooker.

    Quickly brown the short ribs:
  2. Scrape up the pan drippings:

    Add the shallot, carrots, and celery to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of water. Use the liquid to scrape up any bits stuck to the pan.

    Transfer the vegetables (they don’t need to be fully cooked) to the slow cooker along with any liquid from the skillet.

    Scrape up the pan drippings:
  3. Slow cook the short ribs and veggies:

    Add beef broth, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire, garlic, and bay leaf to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 5 to 6 hours).

    Slow cook the short ribs and veggies:
  4. Cook the grits:

    When there’s about thirty minutes left on the short ribs, heat the stock in a medium pot over medium heat until it’s simmering.

    Whisk in corn grits in a steady stream. Turn the heat down to low, and cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes until grits are thick and tender. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.

    The only way to truly know when grits are done is to taste them. If they are crunchy, keep going and if you need to add more liquid, then do so.

    When the grits are soft, add salt, pepper, butter, and cheese and stir to combine. Keep warm until ready to serve. If the grits get too thick (they hold their shape if stirred and don’t flow back into a single layer), add water by the 1/4 cup to loosen the grits.

    Cook the grits:
  5. Serve:

    Divide the grits onto between plates and top each plate with a short rib. Add the veggies and a few spoonfuls of juice from the slow cooker as well and garnish with fresh orange zest.

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Braised Beef Short Ribs - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season the ribs and brown in oil:

    Season ribs to taste with the salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed ovenproof pan over high heat. Add ribs and brown on all sides. Work in batches if you need to so that the ribs don't get crowded (this will help with browning).

    Season the ribs and brown in oil:
  2. Sauté the vegetables:

    Transfer ribs to a plate. Pour off the excess fat (do not put down the drain or you will clog your sink!). Add the onions, celery, and carrots to the pan and sauté, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan, set aside.

    Sauté the vegetables:
  3. Deglaze the pan with wine, then reduce sauce:

    Add the wine to the pan, deglazing the pan, scraping off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by three-quarters until thick and slightly syrupy, about 15 minutes on high heat.

    Deglaze the pan with wine, then reduce sauce:
  4. Braise the ribs in oven:

    Return the ribs to the pan, add the veal stock and enough water to cover the ribs. Bring to a boil, cover with foil, and place in the oven. Braise, cooking in the oven, until the meat is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

    During the last 1/2 hour of cooking, add back in the vegetables.

    Braise the ribs in oven:
  5. Chill overnight:

    Allow the ribs to cool in the liquid, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

  6. Remove the excess fat:

    The next day, remove the excess fat that has solidified at the top from the overnight chilling.

    Remove the excess fat:
  7. Reduce the sauce with ribs:

    Place the pan with the ribs and cooking liquid over medium heat, uncovered. Cook until the liquid has reduced by three-quarters, about 1 hour. Continue to cook, spooning the sauce over the ribs, until the sauce is thick and ribs are glazed. Take care not to burn the glaze; move the ribs around in the pan to keep them from burning.

    Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Foil-Wrapped Baby Back Ribs

Foil-Wrapped Baby Back Ribs - ribs recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill:

    Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350°F).

  2. Prepare the rub:

    In a small bowl, add the rub ingredients (salt, paprika, garlic, thyme, and pepper) and mix to combine.

  3. Prepare the ribs:

    Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs. Cut each rack crosswise in the middle to create two smaller racks.

  4. Season the ribs and wrap in foil:

    Season each half rack evenly with the rub. Using eight 18x24-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, double-wrap each half rack in its own packet.

  5. Cook the ribs:

    Clean the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grill over direct medium heat and cook for 1 hour, with the lid closed, occasionally turning the packets over for even cooking, making sure not to pierce the foil.

  6. Remove and rest:

    Remove the packets from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes. Carefully open the foil packets, remove the ribs, and discard the rendered fat and foil.

  7. Add wood chips, baste, and serve:

    Drain and add the wood chips directly onto burning coals or to the smoker box of a gas grill, following the manufacturer’s instructions. When the wood begins to smoke, return the ribs to the grill, bone side down.

    Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until they are sizzling and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes, turning and basting once or twice with the sauce. Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.

    Cut into individual ribs and serve warm with any remaining sauce.

Instructions

  1. Clean the ribs, and trim away any excess fat. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, 1/4 cup salt, ground black pepper, paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Coat ribs liberally with spice mix. Place the ribs in two 10x15 inch roasting pans, piling two racks of ribs per pan. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

  2. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Bake uncovered for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and nearly fall apart.

  3. Remove 5 tablespoons of drippings from the bottom of the roasting pans, and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in pan drippings until lightly browned and tender. Stir in ketchup, and heat for 3 to 4 more minutes, stirring constantly. Next, mix in water and brown sugar, and season to taste with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
