DR. PEPPER BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Place an oven safe deep pan, like a dutch oven, over medium high heat on the stove.
• Salt and pepper the surface of the short ribs. When the pan is hot, add the grapeseed oil and then the short ribs. The short ribs should sizzle. Allow to sear until golden brown on both sides 4-5 minutes each side.
• Remove the short ribs from the pan, set aside. Add onions, carrot, and pepperoncini. Let saute, stirring, until onions begin to take on some color. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
• Next add the tomato paste, molasses, paprika, and soy sauce, stir until smooth and coating the vegetables fairly evenly.
• Pour in the stock and Dr. Pepper. Add cloves and replace short ribs into the liquid.* Bring to a boil. When boiling, cover the pan with a lid or tightly with foil and place in oven.
• Braise for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until fork tender. If it goes longer be sure to check liquid levels are not too low. Serve with braising liquid as desired.

STOUT BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH BARLEY

Steps:

• Set a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs all over with a generous amount of salt and some pepper (no flour required here!). Add the oil to the pot and brown the short ribs well on each of the 3 meaty sides, about 15 minutes total. Work in batches so as to not overcrowd the pot. You want a deep brown color on the meat as this will give the stew its rich flavor and color when braising. Remove the ribs and set aside.
• Add the carrots, celery and onions to the pot. Saute the vegetables until caramelized and wilted, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and toss to combine and heat through. Return the ribs to the pot and nestle in amongst the vegetables. Add the thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, stout beer, broth and tomatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer the ribs 2 1/2 hours. Periodically skim any excess fat on the surface and discard.
• After 2 1/2 hours, mix in the pearl barley and dry mustard powder, then cover once more and cook 45 more minutes. When done, remove the bay leaf, thyme and rosemary stems. Taste and season the braise with salt and pepper and serve.

BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• For the rub: The day before cooking, mix the turbinado sugar, salt, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, ground mustard, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
• For the ribs: Take a slab of ribs and turn over so the curved side is up. Using your fingernail or a knife, pry under the membrane until you can put your finger under it and then pull it off.
• Sprinkle this side of the ribs with about 1 tablespoon rub, and then about 1 tablespoon yellow mustard. Use the mustard to help evenly distribute the seasoning. Turn the ribs over and repeat the process. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
• To cook, start a smoker and bring the temp to 200 degrees F. Use apple or cherry wood chunks to provide smoke and flavor. Place the ribs in the smoker, curved side down. Smoke for 2 hours at 200 degrees F, and then raise the temperature to 250 degrees F for about 2 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness by testing if the bones will pull apart with a slight bit of pressure. If they are still tough, allow to cook for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the smoker. For dry-style ribs, sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon rub. For wet-style ribs, glaze with the BBQ sauce.

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS WITH ROMESCO

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and get the ribs started first.
• Mix together the salt, pepper and paprika. Remove the thin membrane from the bone side of the ribs and discard. Lightly sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the ribs then place the racks, rib-side down on a baking tray. Place in the oven and bake until the ribs have a nice crust (also known as "bark") on the outside and the meat will be pulling away from the bone, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the romesco sauce: Set a large saucepan over medium heat and coat with a generous amount of olive oil. Add the bread cubes and toast until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with some salt and toss the bread cubes as they cook so they brown evenly all over. When done, remove from the pan and set aside. Add the almond slivers to the dry pan and toast until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Coat the pan with more olive oil and add the garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the drained red peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the tomatoes. Season with more salt and the cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has slightly reduced, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• To a food processor, add the almonds and the tomato and bell pepper mixture. Pulse until well chopped, and then add the bread cubes and continue to process. Add the sherry vinegar and, while the processor is running, drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil. Continue to blend until the sauce has emulsified. Taste the sauce and season once more with salt if needed.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, and while still hot, squeeze some fresh lime juice all over the racks. The ribs will absorb the lime juice and this will complement the rich, fatty spare ribs perfectly. Cut the ribs at every second bone and serve with the romesco sauce on the side.

GUY'S RIGHTEOUS RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
• Begin by trimming the ribs of any excess fat or sinew. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs and discard. Make the rub by combining the brown sugar, salt, chili powder,garlic and onion powder,paprika, cumin, white and cayenne pepper and cloves in a mixing bowl.
• Set out large sheets of foil9one set for each slab). Place one rack on each sheet and divide the dry rub between each slab. Rub the mixture into the ribs on both sides, and then fold the foil over to form a sealed pouch around each rack. At this stage make sure each rack is meat-side down. Place each pouch on a roasting tray and bake in the oven for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, open up the foil and peel back so the ribs are exposed. Carefully turn the meat over so the meat side is on top.
• Brush the top and bottom of the racks with a generous amount of Root Beer BBQ sauce or whatever sauce you wish. Cook racks for 1 1/2 more hours with the foil open. When done, the ribs will be tender and the meat will have shrunk back from the bones. Remove from oven, cut into portions, serve with extra BBQ sauce.
