The Ultimate Rib Sandwich Recipes

GIANT BBQ RIB SANDWICH (TO FEED A CROWD) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Lay the ribs on a long sheet of aluminum foil. Combine the paprika, pepper, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl, then cover the ribs evenly on both sides, pressing the rub into any cracks and smoothing out any large lumps. Wrap the foil around the ribs, making sure they're completely sealed. It's important that the juices of the ribs stay inside the foil to keep the ribs moist during cooking. Use more sheets of foil if necessary.
• Bake the ribs for 3-3½ hours, until tender. Unwrap the ribs carefully, then wiggle the bones out slowly. If you're having trouble removing the bones, use a knife to make small cuts in the meat to aid their removal. Preheat the broiler on your oven.
• Combine the barbecue sauce and honey in a small bowl and brush both sides of the deboned slab of ribs generously, being sure to carefully handle the ribs since the meat will be super tender.
• Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and starting to brown.
• Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise, then butter both sides of the bread. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside of the bread, then toast under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep a careful eye on it as they will burn extremely quickly.
• With two long spatulas or knives, carefully transfer the glazed ribs to the bottom bread half, then top with the caramelized onions, parsley, and the top half of bread. Cut into about 8 2-inch (5-cm) sandwiches, and serve.
• Enjoy!

SHORT RIB SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Salt and pepper the short ribs. In a heavy pot, heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium high. Add the carrots, garlic and onion and begin to cook, stirring. After a minute or 2, pour in the wine and broth and stir to combine. Set the short ribs back in the pot, put on the lid, transfer to the oven and bake until the short ribs are tender and literally falling off the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer the ribs to a board, then remove the meat from the bones and shred. Skim the fat from the top of the vegetables, return the meat to the pot and stir.
• Meanwhile, bake the baguette until warm, about 10 minutes. Split it down the middle and spoon the short rib meat down the length of the bottom of the baguette. Then spoon the veggies and some sauce over the top. Place the other half of the baguette on top, then slice into pieces with a sharp serrated knife. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix salt, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and cayenne together for the rub.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season both sides generously with some of the rub. Reserve remaining rub for another use. Cover top with parchment paper and wrap foil over the edges. Cover the whole baking sheet with another large sheet of foil, sealing in the sides.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
• Unwrap ribs and let cool briefly until safe to handle. Pull out the bones, stuffing any loose pieces of meat back into the holes and checking carefully for bone fragments. Wrap ribs back up and refrigerate until cold, 8 hours to overnight.
• Cut each rack in half. Brush both sides generously with barbecue sauce.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill ribs until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from grill and brush with more barbecue sauce.
• Drizzle more barbecue sauce onto each roll. Sandwich each rib section between a roll and top with coleslaw.

THE ULTIMATE STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the bechamel cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly to incorporate - you do not want any color. Gradually pour in the milk as you stir, and whisk out any lumps. As the mixture thickens up continue to stir until it reaches a boil - this ensures the flour is cooked completely. Dump in the cheese and stir for another minute until the cheese is completely melted. Stir in the horseradish and season with salt and pepper, then set aside to keep warm.
• Make arugula mayonnaise: Put arugula in a food processor with the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Top with mayonnaise and process until well combined. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if required.
• Prepare the steak: Take the finely sliced steak and shingle it out into 2 portions on a clean cutting board lined with parchment. Put the shingled meat between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound out using either a saute pan or a meat mallet. After first pounding, remove the plastic wrap, fold in the edges, replace plastic and pound the meat some more. Store wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator. Now the meat is ready when you want to cook it.
• Heat a large, flat grill-pan over medium heat. Split hoagie rolls in half, drizzle with olive oil and place onto griddle.
• Take the meat out of the refrigerator. Peel off 1 side of the plastic wrap and season with salt and pepper. Put this side down in the pan and then quickly peel off the other side of the plastic wrap and season again. Cook slowly in the pan until juicy and tender and just past pink in color. Turn the meat over and then fold with some of the cheese sauce.
• To serve, smear each half of the roll with arugula mayonnaise. Top the bottom with the steak and cheese, then lay a scoop of fennel slaw over the top.
• Finely slice fennel using a mandoline, or the grater attachment on your food processor. In a large mixing bowl combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, and sour cream and stir to combine. Add the finely sliced fennel and coleslaw mix, herbs, and olive oil and fold together. Season with salt and pepper.
