Braised And Grilled Or Broiled Pork Ribs Recipes

BRAISED AND GRILLED OR BROILED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cut meat into two racks if necessary; season with salt and pepper. Put oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet or casserole that can later be covered. Turn heat to medium-high and, when oil shimmers, sear meat on both sides until nicely browned, turning as necessary.
• Add allspice, cinnamon, ginger, chiles and garlic and stir; add beer. Bring to a boil; cover pan and adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Put in oven and cook until meat is tender, 1 hour or more. (You can prepare meat up to a day or two ahead; if you are not going to grill or broil immediately, put whole pan in refrigerator after it cools a bit.)
• Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; rack should be about 4 inches away from heat source. Drain meat and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Grill or broil on both sides until brown and crisp, just a few minutes. Meanwhile, skim cooking liquid of fat, bring to a boil, and use as sauce.

BRAISED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Sprinkle separated ribs liberally on all sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Brown ribs in the hot oil on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add enough red wine to almost cover the ribs. Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer for 45 minutes. Stir in onion, carrot, and celery. Continue to simmer for 45 minutes more, adding more wine or water if sauce is too thick.

BRAISED BBQ SPARERIBS

Steps:

• In a large roasting or sheet pan, scatter half the onions. Rub the ribs with Cajun spices and overlap ribs onto the onions. Scatter remaining onions over the ribs. Pour a little water or stock into the pan. Cover tightly with foil and put into a preheated 350 degree oven, for 1 to 2 hours or until ribs are tender. When cooked, brush with barbecue sauce and grill or broil to glaze.
• Mix all ingredients and store in a jar.

BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pat the ribs dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2
• tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the ribs
• on all sides, working in batches if needed. Remove the ribs and set aside. Add
• the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium.
• Add the carrots, celery, onions and some salt and pepper and cook until soft,
• about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add
• the tomato paste and cook, stirring, to remove the raw flavor, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, and then add the red pepper flakes and bay
• leaves.
• Add the ribs back to the pan and add enough stock to reach
• halfway up the sides of the ribs. Bring the pan to a simmer, cover and place in
• the oven. Braise until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. During the last
• half hour, uncover to allow the liquid to reduce and the pork to brown.
• Serve the ribs with Creamy Polenta, spooning the sauce on
• top, and garnishing with parsley.
• Spray the insert of a slow cooker with cooking spray (for easier clean up) and preheat on high.
• In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of the half-and-half, the milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter and the polenta. Season with salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly to keep the mixture lump-free. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring once or twice per hour.
• Once you are ready to serve, open the slow cooker and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the remaining 1/3 cup half-and-half and the Parmesan. Salt and pepper conservatively since the polenta will be served with a robustly salted dish.

GRILLED OR BROILED LAMB RIBS

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire, or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the fire should be only moderately hot, and the rack should be at least 4 inches from the heat source. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Add the lamb, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Drain ribs. Grill or broil them for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice and sprinkling them with a little salt and pepper. Meanwhile, process the honey, mustard and onion in a blender until smooth.
• When ribs begin to brown, brush them with sauce, and continue to cook, watching so they do not catch fire. When they are brown and crisp all over - in about 10 to 15 minutes - remove from grill, and serve.

OVEN BRAISED BARBECUE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Fold each sheet of foil in half lengthwise.
• You now have two double thick sheets measuring 18x18 inches.
• Stack them on top of each other, folded sides on top, and triple fold the three cut edge sides together, crimping firmly, leaving the folded edge side open.
• You now have a double thickness foil bag.
• Put the foil bag on a large baking sheet with sides (in case of leaks) and fill with the ribs, being careful not to puncture the bag if the ribs are 'bone-in'.
• Mix together the ketchup, beer, syrup, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce.
• Pour into the bag with the ribs.
• Triple fold and firmly crimp the top folded edges of the foil.
• Put the bag, still on the baking sheet, into a 300 degree oven for 3 hours.
• Remove from the oven, cut a corner of the foil bag, and drain the liquid contents into a sauce pan.
• Crimp the cut edge and set the ribs aside, still sealed in the foil.
• Bring the liquids to a boil and reduce to a glaze-like consistency (like b-b-que sauce).
• While the sauce is reducing, preheat your oven broiler.
• Place the ribs on a oil-sprayed broiler pan, being careful to keep as whole as possible, as they will be very tender.
• Taste the sauce and add more hot sauce if you want more spiciness.
• Brush the ribs generously with the sauce and broil close to the heat until the sauce starts to bubble and caramelize (about 1-2 mins.).
• Turn the ribs, and repeat.
• If you want a thicker coating, do this brush-and-broil process one more time per side.
• (I usually do.) Serve with any extra sauce to pour over.
• NOTE: If you don't have or can't find the dark maple syrup, dark corn syrup is a good substitute.

BRAISED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine rub* ingredients in a plastic bag, shake to mix.
• Rub olive oil on ribs then generously cover both sides of ribs with rub, there's enough to do 2 racks.
• Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hrs or as long as 24 hours.
• For covered charcoal grill: Start coals 30-45 minutes prior to cooking, soak a couple hand fulls of hickory chips in water.
• Meanwhile, place each rack of ribs, curved side down on two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil, which have been wiped with a thin coat of vegetable oil use a piece of foil large enough to seal over the top.
• Form a pan with the foil.
• After coals turn white push them all to one side, drain wood chips, place soaked wood chips on hot coals, replace grill top.
• Soak some more chips.
• Place ribs and foil on cool side of grill, carefully pour water to the foil 'pans' to no more than 1/2" up the sides of the ribs.
• Replace lid on grill.
• Every 30 minutes add a few coals and some of the soaked chips and reverse the position of the ribs (rotate and reverse).
• Turn over about 1/2 way through the cooking process so they finish curved side up.
• Depending on your grill it could take as long as 4 hrs or as little as 1 hr to cook.
• To finish ribs, remove from heat, drain liquid from foil pan (reserve for sauce if desired) carefully cut racks into serving sized chunks (3-4 ribs), brush with sauce and return to hot side of grill for a few minutes to brown a bit.
• You can brown them under the broiler right in the foil pans if coals are not hot enough.
• This procedure can be replicated on a two (or more) zoned gas grill.
• Put the chips in another foil 'pan' and place them over the heat, when they start to smoke put the ribs over the cool side and cover.
• Replenish chips as necessary, rotate and reverse rib pans about every 30 minutes.
• *This is a sweet rub and may be a bit too sweet for some tastes, if so decrease sugar.
