Grilled Pork Ribs With Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Recipes

FALL APART OVEN BAKED RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the Rub ingredients in a bowl.
• Pat the ribs dry, then rub with the Rub. If time permits, refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Take ribs out of the fridge, place in a large baking dish in a single layer (squished is ok, they will shrink slightly).
• Preheat oven to 160C/325F.
• Pour beer into the baking dish and cover with a lid (use foil if you don't have a lid). Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the Sauce.
• Take out of the oven and remove lid. Pour the sauce over the ribs, then return to the oven (uncovered).
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, turning once or twice, until the ribs are cooked to your liking. The meat should be very tender and comes off the bone easily, and the sauce should be thick and "jam-like". If the pan starts looking dry, add a splash of water.
• To finish the ribs off, grill/broil for 5 to 10 minutes to get a nice browned finish on top (this is an optional step).
• Serve, garnished with fresh coriander/cilantro leaves and wedges of lime.

GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the pork ribs on a large cutting board and remove the membrane that covers the bones. To do this, slip a dull knife under the membrane, and then with the aid of a paper towel grasp membrane with fingertips, and strip it away from the bones.
• Transfer ribs to a large baking sheet, pat dry, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the seasoned salt, pepper, 1 tsp chipotle, cumin, and sugar. Rub mixture on both sides of the ribs with your fingers.
• Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for about 1 hour at room temp. Meanwhile, mix barbecue sauce, 1/2 tsp chipotle powder, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in and let simmer for 4-5 minutes.
• Prepare charcoal grill for indirect cooking. To do this, bank charcoal into a slope against one side of the grill. Oil the grill grate. Place the ribs to cook, covered, on the part of the grate opposite the bank of coals, so that they will cook slowly over a longer amount of time.
• To maximize moisture, place a small disposable aluminum pan filled with hot water on the bottom of the grill beneath the ribs. If space allows, you can set another small pan filled with hot water on the grate directly above the coals.
• Position the top vent holes of the lid of the grill so that they overlie the ribs, and leave them open at least half-way. This will enhance the smoky flavor. Also open the bottom vents to about half-way initially.
• After 40 minutes from the start of cooking, check ribs. If they appear to be browning/cooking too fast, cut back on the heat by narrowing down the bottom vent holes.
• Keep checking every 20 minutes until ribs have cooked for about 75-85 minutes total. Brush on the sauce for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Remove when done/tender. Brush on more sauce and serve with oregano on top. Enjoy!

CHIPOTLE BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil.
• Place the ribs on the prepared baking pan meat-side up. Sprinkle them with the paprika, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Rub the spices all over the ribs.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the meat is very tender and can easily be pulled off the bone, about 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the ketchup, orange juice, Worcestershire, chipotles and adobo and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to keep at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Alternately, an immersion blender can be used in the pot.
• Finish the ribs: Preheat the grill to medium-high (or set the oven to broil).
• Reserve about a cup of the barbecue sauce for serving alongside the ribs. Brush a small amount of the remaining sauce on the bone side of the ribs and a generous amount on the meaty side.
• Grill the ribs, meaty-side up, until the underside is lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn the ribs over and grill until the meaty side is charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes (if using the oven, simply broil for 3 to 5 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board and cut each rack in half. Serve immediately with the reserved sauce on the side.

CHERRY-CHIPOTLE GLAZED BACK RIBS

Steps:

• About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Pat ribs dry with paper towels; generously coat both sides of ribs with rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients except cherry preserves in medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in preserves. Set aside to cool.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
• Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours spraying both sides of ribs with apple juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
• Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
• Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes until the glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.
• Serve ribs with remaining glaze.

GRILLED SPARE RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season ribs with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stack slabs on a double layer of aluminum foil; wrap tightly. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until meat is fork-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, cayenne, and desired variation (see ingredients above). Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Carefully remove ribs from foil, pouring off any accumulated liquid. Brush ribs generously with sauce; grill until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with extra sauce, if desired.
• Helpful Hint.
• The base of our three sauces is made with ketchup, vinegar, onion, garlic, and cayenne. Add one of the variations for a sweet, spicy, or smoky sauce.

SPICE-RUBBED BABY BACK RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE-BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet. If the concave side of your ribs still has its papery membrane intact, remove it: Pry it up at the end of the bones using the tip of a meat thermometer or butter knife, then pull it off with a paper towel. Lightly brush the ribs on both sides with the mustard.
• Prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine the chile powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper and celery seeds. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons rub for serving, then sprinkle the remaining rub on the ribs, coating both sides.
• Set up your charcoal grill for indirect grilling and heat to 300 degrees.
• Once the grill comes to temperature, add half the wood chunks or chips to the coals. Arrange the ribs meat (rounded) side up on the grate away from the heat, then cover the grill. Grill the ribs over indirect heat for 1 hour.
• After the ribs have grilled for 1 hour, spray on both sides with apple cider (if using), turning the ribs with tongs. Add the remaining wood chunks or chips to the fire and close the grill again.
• While the ribs grill, prepare the barbecue sauce: Place all the sauce ingredients, along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, in a heavy saucepan and whisk to mix. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often. Reduce the heat and gently simmer the sauce, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, 6 to 8 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste; set aside. (Makes about 2 cups.)
• Continue grilling the ribs over indirect heat, rounded side up, until sizzling, browned, tender, and the meat has shrunk back from the ends of the bones by 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This normally takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours in all, but sometimes you'll need a full 3 hours. The last 20 minutes, brush the ribs on both sides with some of the barbecue sauce. When ready, the meat should be tender enough so you can pull the individual ribs apart with your fingers.
• Brush each rack on both sides with more barbecue sauce. Move each rack directly over the fire and direct grill to sizzle the sauce into the meat, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer the ribs to a platter for serving. Brush once more with barbecue sauce and sprinkle the ribs with the remaining rub. Serve the remaining sauce in a bowl on the side.
