Redeye Ribs With Cafe Au Lait Barbecue Sauce Recipes

REDEYE RIBS WITH CAFE AU LAIT BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the barbecue sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan; add in the shallot, garlic, and celery; cook over medium heat until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the coffee, ketchup, cream, soy sauce, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, liquid smoke, and brown sugar; bring to a boil.
• Decrease heat slightly and let the sauce simmer until thick and richly flavored, 8-10 minutes, whisking from time to time.
• Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste and more brown sugar (or any other ingredient) as necessary.
• The sauce can be refrigerated, covered, for several weeks; let return to room temperature before serving.
• Make the rub: put the ground coffee, salt, chile powder, onion powder, garlic powder, coriander, pepper, and cinnamon in a small bowl; mix using your fingers to break up any lumps.
• Place a rack of ribs meat side down on a baking sheet; remove the thin, papery membrane from the back of the rack; repeat with the other rack.
• Sprinkle the rub over both sides of the ribs, rubbing it onto the meat; cover the ribs with plastic wrap and let cure in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or as long as 4 hours (the longer the ribs cure, the richer the flavor will be).
• Meanwhile, make the mop sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add in the brewed coffee, vinegar, and bourbon; let simmer gently until blended, about 1 minute.
• Whisk in the salt and pepper to taste; let the mop sauce cool to room temperature.
• Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium; place a large dip pan in the center of the grill.
• **For gas grill, place the wood chips in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke, then decrease heat to medium.
• When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate; place the ribs bone side down in the center of the grate over the drip pan and away from the heat; cover the grill and cook the ribs for 45 minutes.
• Mop or brush the ribs on both sides with some of the mop sauce; recover the grill and continue cooking the ribs until well browned, cooked through, and tender enough to pull apart with your fingers, 30-45 minutes longer (1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours total).
• When the ribs are done, the meat will have shrunk back from the ends of the bones by about ¼ inch.
• Mop the ribs once or twice more with the sauce.
• Just before serving, brush both sides of the ribs with some of the Cafe au Lait Barbecue Sauce.
• Move the ribs directly over the fire and grill until the sauce is sizzling, 1-3 minutes per side.
• Transfer ribs to a large platter or cutting board; let ribs rest for a few minutes, then cut the racks in half or into single ribs.
• Serve at once with the remaining Cafe au Lait Barbecue Sauce on the side, or drizzle over the ribs.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH REDEYE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with the oil. Place the chicken skin-side up over direct heat and close the grill. Cook for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook with the lid down for 1 additional minute.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the barbecue sauce and coffee in a small saucepan.
• Flip the chicken again so it's skin-side up, move over to indirect heat and brush with some of the redeye barbecue sauce. Close the grill and cook, brushing with the redeye barbecue sauce every 10 minutes, until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill and rest at least 5 minutes before serving. Bring the leftover redeye barbecue sauce to a simmer over direct heat for several minutes. Serve the chicken with the redeye barbecue sauce on the side or poured over.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the chicken skin-side up on a wire rack-lined rimmed baking sheet in a 450 degrees F oven for 25 minutes. You do not need to flip the chicken.)Who's Dining:

FOOLPROOF RIBS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
• About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
• Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.
