Southern Indiana Smokehouse Bbqd Ribs Recipes

DEEP SOUTH BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl or large zip-top plastic bag. (You will have about 1 ¼ cups dry rub.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat both sides of slabs dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, remove thin membrane from back of each slab by slicing into it and pulling it off with a paper towel.
• Divide Southern Barbecue Dry Rub evenly between slabs, rubbing on both sides of each. Press gently to adhere. Place slabs, meaty side up, on a wire rack on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated oven until meat begins to pull away from bones but is not yet tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• While the ribs are baking, make the Melting Pot BBQ Sauce. Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add tomatoes, and cook, stirring often, until skins begin to split and char, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onions and garlic, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Add butter to pan, and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar; stir until combined. Cook, without stirring, until edges start to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tomatoes completely break down and mixture is slightly thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and carefully transfer to a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); process on high until almost smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. (You will have about 1 quart of sauce.)
• After the initial 1 hour and 30 minutes in the oven, increase oven temperature to 450°F. (Do not remove ribs from oven.) Brush both sides of ribs with 1 cup Melting Pot BBQ Sauce. Bake until ribs are very tender and caramelized, 35 to 45 minutes, brushing with another cup barbecue sauce halfway through baking. Remove from oven, and let stand at least 10 minutes. Serve with remaining 2 cups barbecue sauce.

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.

BARBECUED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, molasses, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Put the ribs in a large, turkey-sized baking bag or sealable plastic bag. Support the bag in a 12-by-14-inch baking pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs and seal the bag. Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for a few hours, turning the bag occasionally to thoroughly coat the meat.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drain and discard the marinade. Cut four slits in the top of the baking bag, if you are using one. Otherwise, remove the ribs, transfer them to the baking pan, and cover the pan with foil or a lid. Bake for 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: While the ribs are baking, blend the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
• When the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the baking bag. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce and return them to the oven to bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer. Just before serving, throw the ribs under the broiler to give them a bit of a char.

OLD-SCHOOL SOUTHERN BARBECUE SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• 1. at least a half hour and up to four hours before you plan to cook the ribs, peel the membrane off the back of the ribs and cut the flap off. Trim any excess of fat. Mix the salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and onion powder in a small bowl. Mix well. Season the ribs on both sides with the mixture. Refrigerate.
• 2. To make the mop, in a medium pan over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and chili. Cook for about four minutes, stirring often, until the onion is soft. Add the Apple juice, vinegar, catsup, and Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let rest for 15 minutes to steep. Strain the mop mixture through cheesecloth or small strainer, then transfer to a spray or squeeze bottle. Set aside.
• 3. Prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat at 250° using Hickory and cherry wood for flavor. Place the ribs, meaty side up, directly on the cooking grate and close the lid. Cook for 1 1/2 hours without opening the lid. Spray or drizzle some of the mop, on the ribs and cook for another 30 minutes. Spray or drizzle more of the mop, flip, and spray or drizzle again. Repeat every 30 minutes until the ribs are tender. This should take 5 to 6 hours total. Check for doneness by sticking a toothpick down into the meat, between the bones. It should slide in easily. Transfer the ribs, meaty side down, to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut through the slab completely at each rib. Flip the ribs back over and transfer them to a platter. Serves 4 to 6.

SOUTHERN INDIANA SMOKEHOUSE BBQ'D RIBS

Steps:

• If you're in a hurry, and you're planning on cooking and eating the ribs in 1 day, then START YOUR CHARCOAL NOW! If not, skip to step 2.
• Trim excess off of rib rack(s)but do not discard this excess. Use it later to test taste and doneness.
• Sprinkle Emerill's Rib Rub (or comparable mixture of spices) generously over both sides of rack(s).
• Sprinkle a thin layer of Onion Powder over both sides of rack(s).
• Sprinkle a good covering of coarse-ground black pepper over both sides of Racks(s).
• Shake-squirt Franks Red Hot Sauce over both side of Rack(s). This sauce is NOT very hot, just flavorful, so don't worry about making the ribs too spicy! I'm not joking.
• Thoroughly rub in Frank's sauce and spices. Work these ingredients into the raw meat with bare hands.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and let rack(s) sit in fridge for AT LEAST 1 hour--overnight would be better, though.
• Start your charcoal. Only use lighter fluid if you must.
• SMOKE CHIPS-Soak a good amount of wood chips in water for about 20 minutes (Hickory or Apple wood is best. Jack Daniel's Whiskey Barrell chips are even better. Yes, they exist and are sold in stores). Take the chips out of the water, and strain. Create a package for the chips out of aluminum foil. This package must be a size that can fit between your charcoal and the grate of your grill. Use a fork to poke a bunch of holes in the package for smoke to escape.
• Place smoking chips package on top of hot charcoals. Place metal grate over top of package. Replace lid to grill.
• Limit air ventilation on your grill so that all vents are just barely open. You want the grill to stay at a temperature around 250-300°F
• Wait until wood chips package is smoking heavily before putting the ribs on.
• Place the rib rack(s) directly on grill grate. The side of the ribs with more meat should be up. You never have to flip the rack(s) over.
• Fill a clean spray bottle with 1/2 cup of Bourbon Whiskey. Maker's Mark is best, followed by Jack Daniel's, but any whiskey will do great.
• Spray the ribs with the Whiskey until the bottle is empty. Replace the lid of the grill.
• Fill the spray bottle up with Apple Cider. You don't have to clean it out before filling it with cider, but make sure there's not much whiskey left at all.
• Wait 4 hours. The less you peek, the better, but if you can't contain yourself, be sure and spray the ribs with Cider whenever you peek.
• This part is confusing: After 4 hours, you have 2 final hours of cooking left (the ribs cook for 6 total hours). During those 5th and 6th hours, spray the ribs completely with Cider every 15 minutes. During the LAST hour, brush on BBQ sauce every 15 minutes as well. KC Masterpiece is my favorite, but you can suit your tastes. So, during the 5th hour of cooking, you should spray Cider every 15 minute and during the 6th hour, you should spray cider AND brush on BBQ sauce.
• Serve it up. I recommend having some friends over, because you have spent a long time on this meal, and these are the best ribs anyone has ever had. They're contest grade ribs, and you'll want your friends to taste them so you can brag.
