Sweet Tea Baby Back Ribs Recipes

SWEET TEA BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Heat tea in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add sugar and remaining brine ingredients. Heat through, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves in tea. Pour brine into large bowl. Cool and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Cut each rib in half and add to brine. Place in the fridge for 18 to 24 hours. Remove ribs from brine and pat dry. Place bone side on a cutting board and rub with rib spice. Turn rib over and rub other side with rib spice.
• Prep your grill for indirect grilling by placing coals on only one side of the grill. Cook over indirect heat (250 to 300 degrees temperature) for about 2 hours, turning often and checking flame for any small flare ups.

SWEET-AND-SPICY BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the ribs meat-side down on a cutting board. Insert a paring knife between the membrane and the bones on one end of each rack, then loosen the membrane and pull it off. Rub the ribs with the lemon juice and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the ribs bone-side down in a large roasting pan, then add the beer. Cover tightly with foil, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chile sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven; increase the temperature to 400 degrees F. Uncover the pan; carefully pour out the cooking liquid. Stir 1/4 cup cooking liquid into the sauce, then discard the rest of the liquid. Generously brush the ribs with the sauce. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting, uncovered, until the ribs are golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and slice, then return to the roasting pan. Pour the remaining sauce on top and toss. Photograph by Anna Williams
