Grilled Beef Ribs Recipes

GRILLING BEEF RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine rub ingredients until well-blended.
• You can store the mixture in an air-tight container in a cool dry location for future use.
• Mix the basting sauce ingredients well. Notice how your basting sauce complements the ingredients in your rub.
• Soak your chosen flavored wood chips for 15 minutes, then drain.
• Bundling the wood is what will cause smoldering to produce that coveted smoke.
• You can accomplish that with two methods.
• A smokebox is simplest. You can also create a smoke bomb without too much effort.
• Clean the beef ribs by trimming excess fat and meat around the edges.
• Do not remove any of the fat that would sit between the ribs if they were together.
• You need that to assist with keeping your beef ribs succulent.
• Remove any of the tough thin membranes you encounter.
• Run the trimmed ribs under water and pat dry.
• Lightly coat your ribs but do not overseason.
• Be prepared to move your ribs to the grill within 10 to 20 minutes of applying the spices.
• Any longer than an hour and any rubs will begin to change the texture of the meat.
• Some accept this for additional flavoring.
• Place your metal drip pan under the area rack where you will cook the ribs.
• This will be over the unused burner for indirect heating.
• Pour a shallow layer of water in the pan.
• You can also use apple cider for additional flavoring.
• Preheat your grill to the desired setting.
• For beef ribs, you want your grill set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place your grill thermometer so you can more readily keep on top of what is happening inside the grill.
• You are going to use an indirect grilling method. If you only have two burners, only turn one on.
• When you have three burners, the most efficient way to work them is to leave the center off and turn the other two on.
• Place your smoke bomb or smoker box over direct heat right on the cooking grate.
• Allow the grill to come up to your desired temperature.
• Place your beef ribs bone-side down on the grill opposite to the heat source if you have two burners and in the center if you have three.
• Allow ribs to cook undisturbed with the lid closed for 30 minutes.
• This keeps both heat and smoke inside the grill.
• Adjust your grill so the temperature stays between 200 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Baste or "mop" your ribs every half hour.
• This is your opportunity to also quickly turn them to ensure they are cooking evenly.
• An alternative to basting: How to Cook Ribs on Gas Grill in Foil
• Whether you use apple juice or cider or butter and raw sugar, this step will alleviate any doubts about flavor, juiciness, or tenderness.
• Cook ribs for 30 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove your ribs from the grill and place them on a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Tip-up the edges of the foil to create a makeshift dish. Pour apple juice over the ribs and wrap tightly in the aluminum foil.
• Place the wrapped ribs back on the grill and close the lid.
• Increase the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit so the apple juice boils, tenderizing the ribs in the process.
• Unwrap the ribs after 30 minutes of cooking, placing them back on the grill.
• Turn your heat back down to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• This greatly speeds up your cooking process, so look for your ribs to be ready in another 15 to 30 minutes.
• In this low and slow method, your beef ribs will take six to eight hours to cook.
• You may see the fleshy part start to loosen from the bone as they reach the end.
• Use your tongs to see how tender they are.
• You can also cut into the meat to make sure there is no pink remaining.
• If your ribs are in a rack, you can twist the center rib. If it comes away from the meat easily, your ribs are ready.
• Ribs are not the most practical cuts into which to try to insert a probe.
• Some areas are pretty thin. Temperature measurements near the bone do not tell you about meat in the center of the rib.
• However, where meat thermometer placement may be tricky, toothpicks work like a charm.
• When ribs are ready, a toothpick should slide easily in and out of the flesh between the bones.
• If your rack of ribs is till intact, allow them to rest under tented aluminum foil for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

BBQ BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for indirect heat using hickory and charcoal and heat to 250 degrees F.
• Place the ribs on a clean cutting board and pull off the membrane, the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat.
• For the rub: Whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, brown sugar, paprika, chile powder, cumin and pepper. Rub the beef ribs with the seasoning and place on a sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap, and if time, let marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• For the glaze: Add the maple syrup, apple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chile powder, cayenne, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until syrupy, about 8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon on occasion.
• Remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Place the ribs meatier-side-down on the grill away from the coals. Cook the beef 3 hours, adding more coals as needed. Turn and cook until the ribs "bend" and the meat easily separates from the bone using a fork, about 45 minutes more. Brush on the glaze to the ribs and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and slice into individual ribs.

BEST BARBECUE RIBS EVER

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the oregano, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl and rub the mixture on both sides of the ribs. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a roasting pan, combine the broth and vinegar. Add the ribs to the pan. Cover with foil and tightly seal. Bake 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the pan and place them on a platter. Pour the liquid from the pan into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add the barbecue sauce.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high. Put the ribs on the grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly charred. Cut the ribs between the bones and toss them in a large bowl with the sauce. Serve hot.

GRILLED BEEF RIBS WITH SWEET-AND-STICKY BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in large deep saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until very thick, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Cool sauce. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Place ribs in heavy large pot. Add celery, onion, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns and 1 tablespoon salt. Add enough water to cover ribs and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Using tongs, remove rib racks from pot. Cool slightly. Cut between bones into individual ribs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush ribs with some of sauce. Grill ribs until brown and thickly glazed, occasionally turning and basting with more sauce, about 10 minutes.

TENDER SLOW-GRILLED BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, combine the wine, soy sauce, vegetable oil, barbecue sauce, if using, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix well.
• Place the ribs in a shallow, non-metal baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the ribs are evenly coated.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours. Bring the ribs to room temperature before grilling.
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for indirect heat. Adjust the heat on the active burner to 250 F. When the grill is hot, remove the ribs from marinade and place on the cool side of the grill to cook indirectly. Discard the marinade. Close the lid and cook until the ribs are tender, turning every 15 minutes, about 3 hours depending on meatiness of the ribs.
• You can apply barbecue sauce during the last 15 minutes of cook time if you like. Make sure to keep a close eye on the ribs so they don't burn.
• Once ribs reach an internal temperature of 165 F (make sure to check several ribs), remove from heat and serve.
