The Barefoot Contessas Barbecued Ribs Recipe 355

BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and saute the onions and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the chili powder, ground cumin and red pepper flakes and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add the zest and ginger and cook for an additional minute. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, honey, mustard, soy sauce and orange juice and simmer uncovered on low heat for 15 minutes, until thick.
• Marinate the ribs in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed.
• Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.

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 BC 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.

THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BARBECUED RIBS RECIPE - (3.5/5)

Steps:

• For the marinade, heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 30 minutes. Set aside half of the marinade for serving. (You don't want the sauce you use for dipping the cooked ribs to touch the raw meat.) 2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the ribs on a baking sheet, slather both sides with marinade, and bake for 1 hour. 3. Place the ribs on a charcoal grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until one side is nicely browned. Turn the ribs and close the cover of the grill, making sure the vents are open enough to allow airflow, but not so much that there are flames around the meat. Grill the ribs for 10 more minutes, turning if necessary, until both sides are nicely browned. Place the ribs on a platter, brush with more marinade, and wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice between the ribs, and serve hot with the reserved sauce for dipping.
