LARRY'S BEST BABY BACK RIBS
These are the best ribs you'll ever wrap your lips around! The meat practically falls off the bone by itself, and the sauce is better than anything you can buy in the supermarket!
2 racks baby back ribs
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, minced
5 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups catsup
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tbs. spicy mustard w/horseradish
2 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. liquid smoke
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Melt butter in 2 quart pot. Add onions and garlic. Cook over low heat until onions are soft.
Stir in remainder of ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely.
Cut each rib rack in half. Place in tins and pour a liberal amount of BBQ Sauce over ribs. Cover with tin foil and place in preheated 190°F oven for 9 hours. (Yes, 9 hours!)
Remove from oven. Discard drippings or save for other use. Transfer ribs to grill or place under broiler for about 10 minutes. May be refrigerated and grilled at later time. Serve with extra BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
Drippings Suggestions:
Pour drippings through a sieve and bring to a boil. Lightly brush slices of ciabatta or other Italian bread on both sides with drippings. Place on grill to toast, turning over midway through.
Use Sweet baby Rays BBQ Sauce. BEST stuff on the planet. We went to a friends BBQ and he used it. OMG!!! I died and fell in love. I have since switched to it.
DEVIN'S BABY BACK RIBS
baby back ribs (full rack) 2-4
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon spice supreme
1 tablespoon cumin
seasoning salt (to flavor)
Any other spices you may like to add to this, go ahead.
Combine all the spices together. Then rub over ribs generously until all ribs are covered. Cut up one lemon into slices and place slices on top of each rib. Put ribs into a zip lock bag one on top of each other, and let sit in refrigerator overnight 24 hrs.
When ready, take ribs out of bag. Remove lemon slices and place ribs in shallow pan. (Do not pile ribs on top of each other.)
Fill pan up with pineapple juice so ribs are just covered. Cover pan with tin foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees F. for 1 1/2-2 hrs. When ribs are ready, let cool down for 1/2 hour or more. Then place ribs on grill at Medium heat for 10 min per side, basting them with a mix of maple barbecue sauce and hickory barbecue sauce.
The best- weird but true:
cut ribs into manageble pieces (3-5 ribs) use a dry rub, or a combo of salt, pepper, seasoning salt, garlic- and rub all over the ribs, Wrap in saran wrap (yep saran wrap) very tightly a couple of layers, so no air can escape. Then wrap in foil, the same way. Preheat you oven to 350 and bake for 2 hours. ( yep- leave the wrappings on) take out and cool enough to handle, cut off all wrappings- they shouldbe nice and steamed and tender. No grill the ribs for 5 minutes on each side, brush with your favorite sauce, and grill for a minute or two more. These are perfect!!!
I know a chef that first cooks the ribs in water, yes water, just enough to cover them bake them until the water is gone or "baked out" about 15 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees), then put a "dry rub" on them, or put your favorite barbeque sauce on them, bake them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. They will fall off the bone.
For a more flavorful method try using chicken broth instead of water.
Smokin' Big Dawgs Sweet Rib Rub
1 C. Brown Sugar
1/3 C. Paprika
1 Tbsp. Black Pepper
2 Tbsp. Kosher Salt
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
2 Tbsp. Lemonade Mix (with the sugar added)
6 racks of ribs, baby back or spare
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Rub generously on both sides of ribs 15 minutes before cooking. Makes enough to do 5 to 6 full racks. Does not store well, tends to clump.
Smoke ribs for about 3 hours, adding wood and charcoal (if useing charcoal) as needed. Ideally you want to have just a light amount of white smoke coming from the exhaust of the smoker. After 3 hours remove ribs from smoker and wrap in heavy duty foil. Return to smoker and cook for 2 hours. No need for any more wood, just heat. Remove ribs after 2 hours and remove foil. Return ribs to smoker and baste with sauce. Cook about another hour.. Ribs are done when you can hold a full rack in the middle with one hand and it will bend but not crack or break.
