Black Pepper Beef Ribs Recipes

BLACK-PEPPER BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F with rack in middle. Stir together pepper, brown sugar, salt, and paprika. Pat ribs dry. Rub beef all over with spice mixture.
• Arrange beef in 1 layer in a large roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, until meat is tender, about 6 hours. Cut into ribs and serve immediately. Stir juice into sauce before serving.

STICKY PEPPER-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir the chili and cumin together with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture all over the ribs, then put the ribs bone-side down in a large roasting pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake until the meat is very tender but not quite falling off the bone, about 2 1/2 hours.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns, garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until the garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, preserves, honey, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Finish the ribs: Preheat the broiler to high. Remove the foil and transfer the racks to a cutting board to cool slightly. Drain any fat from the roasting pan. Cut the racks into individual ribs and place back in the roasting pan. Drizzle the ribs with the sauce.
• Broil the ribs a few inches from the broiler, tossing occasionally with tongs, until bubbling and charred in spots, about 6 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a platter and sprinkle with the scallions.

BLACK PEPPER CRUSTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse the roast and pat dry. Bring roast to room temperature. Stud prime rib with garlic cloves by cutting slits into the meat and placing cloves inside. Rub Italian dressing mix all over roast. Pour black peppercorns into a shallow dish and dredge the roast in the pepper so that it's completely covered. Transfer to a roasting pan lined in aluminum foil.
• Place roast in the oven and cook for 1 hour. Turn oven off and let meat sit in oven until meat reaches the desired degree of doneness, about 130 to 135 degrees F for medium rare. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• *Cook's Note: Have butcher remove ribs from roast and tie it.

PEPOSA DELL'IMPRUNETA (TUSCAN BLACK PEPPER BEEF)

Steps:

• Place meat in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle all sides generously with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
• Place chopped garlic and a pinch of salt in a mortar and mash with pestle until pastelike. Add tomato paste; mash until blended. Transfer mixture into bowl with beef and rub onto all sides of meat. Add crushed peppercorns and ground pepper. Distribute evenly over all sides of beef. Transfer to a deep skillet or Dutch oven bone side down. Tuck sage leaves, rosemary, and dry bay leaves between pieces of meat. Carefully add wine along the side of the pan to avoid washing over the top of the meat.
• Place pan over high heat and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low. Cover tightly. Cook until meat is fork tender, turning pieces every 30 minutes or so, about 3 1/2 hours. Transfer pieces of meat to a warm bowl.
• Increase heat to high and bring braising liquid to a boil. Simmer until liquid is reduced by about half or until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bones from meat.
• When sauce is thickened, transfer meat back to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and spoon sauce over meat. Cook until until heated through, about 5 minutes.

SALT-AND-PEPPER BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• On one-half of a grill fitted with a cover, build a small charcoal fire, about the size of a loaf of commercial sandwich bread, making sure all the charcoal becomes engulfed in flame.
• Place the ribs meat-side down on a baking sheet or cutting board and remove the papery membrane from the back of the rack by inserting a small knife beneath it and levering it up to give you enough to gain purchase with a dish towel. Peel off the membrane and discard.
• Mix the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika and, if you choose, red-pepper flakes in a bowl, breaking up the brown sugar with a fork. Using your hands, cover the meat entirely in this rub.
• When the flames begin to die down, leaving flickering coals, place the rib racks meat-side up on the half of the grill without the burning charcoal. Do not let the flames touch the meat at any time. Add a handful of the hickory chips to the fire. Cover the grill, vent slightly and cook, adding a handful of hickory chips every 30 minutes and a bit more fuel as necessary, until the meat is crusty, soft to the touch and well browned, about two and a half hours.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Set the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for around 5 hours.
• Cut into individual portions. Serve with extra napkins and, if you choose, barbecue sauce.

KOREAN BRAISED SPARE RIBS WITH SOY AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, garlic, ginger, oil, sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and mix well.
• Divide ribs and onions between 2 large rimmed baking sheets and season with salt and pepper. Divide the sauce between the 2 baking sheets and toss to coat the onions and ribs, rubbing the sauce into the ribs. Spread onions in an even layer on the bottom and top with ribs, meat side-up. Add 1/2 cup water to each baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast for 1 hour, then transfer ribs to a cutting board or platter.
• Season potatoes and carrots with salt and pepper and divide between the 2 baking sheets. Toss with onions and pan juices until coated. Place the ribs back on top of vegetables, meat-side up, and baste with the pan juices. Cover tightly and roast until vegetables and ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
• Transfer ribs to a cutting board or platter. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter. Pour pan sauce into a bowl for serving, skimming off any excess oil. Return all of the ribs to one baking sheet.
• Heat broiler and set an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the heat. Baste ribs with some of the reserved pan sauce and broil, meat side-up, until golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide ribs among plates. Drizzle with some of the sauce and garnish with more scallions. Serve with the roasted vegetables, and any combination of kimchi, pickles or rice.

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
• Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
• Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
• Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

SALT AND PEPPER BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare ribs: Place a rack of ribs meat side down on a baking sheet; remove the thin, papery membrane from the back of the rack by inserting a slender implement, such as a butter knife or the tip of a meat thermometer, under it; the best place to start is on one of the middle bones.
• Using a dish cloth, paper towel, or pliers to gain a secure grip, peel off the membrane; repeat with remaining racks.
• Generously season both sides of ribs with salt, cracked black pepper, and hot pepper flakes.
• Cover the ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate them while you set up the smoker.
• Set up and light the smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat to low; add wood chips per manufacturer's instructions.
• When ready to cook, brush and oil the smoker rack; place ribs bone side down on the rack and smoke until cooked through, 4-5 hours.
• Prepare sauce: To a saucepan add all the sauce ingredients; whisk to blend.
• Gradually bring sauce to a boil over medium heat, whisking as needed.
• Decrease heat slightly and let the sauce simmer gently until thick and richly flavored, about 10 minutes; serve warm or at room temperatue.
• When ribs are done, transfer to a large platter or cutting board; let rest for a few minutes.
• Cut racks in half or into 1-2 rib pieces; serve immediately with sauce.
