Fall Off The Bone Ribs Recipes

FALL OFF THE BONE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300.
• Lay your ribs on a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Mix together your dry rub ingredients and rub onto both sides of your ribs and wrap up tightly and place on large baking sheet.
• Bake in oven for 3 hours.
• Remove from oven and unwrap.
• Mix together your bbq sauce and honey and brush on ribs.
• Place back in oven on lowest rack and broil for about 3-5 minutes, remove from oven and brush with more bbq sauce.
• Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

HOW TO MAKE FALL OFF THE BONE RIBS

Steps:

• Remove the meat from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. Letting the meat warm up to room temperature prevents a temperature shock that makes the outsides of the ribs cook much faster than the inside. Think of the bones like mini ice cubes, staying cold for much longer than the meat, and you'll see why letting the whole thing warm up a bit before cooking is so important. Continue with the dry rub and prep work while they warm up -- you just don't want to put the ribs in the oven before 30-60 minutes.
• Cut the thin, silvery membrane off the back of the ribs with a small knife. It can be a bit sticky, but it should peel off with a little prying. Cut a long slit along the top of the membrane and pull down, along the bones, to peel it away. This membrane is not only tough to chew, it prevents your flavors from penetrating the meat.
• Mix up all of the ingredients to make your dry rub. The dry rub is more than just seasoning -- the salt and sugar work together to help retain the meat's moisture, which is essential to fall off the bone ribs. Whisk all of these spices and sugars together evenly with a fork. You can use the dry rub recipe above, or purchase your own directly from the store. When possible, use some specialty "smoked salt" to get an impressively smoky flavor.
• Lightly massage your dry rub into the ribs, coating them completely. Don't be shy-- use a generous amount of your spice and sugar mixture and cover the ribs by rubbing it into the meat. If you're going to be grilling or smoking your ribs or want to make your own sauce, set aside 3 tablespoons dry rub before starting.
• Sprinkle and rub ribs with 1 teaspoon liquid smoke if not using a smoker. If you're cooking in the oven or using a propane grill, this is a great way to get smoky flavor without the hassle. If you don't even want a smokey flavor, however, you can also skip this step.
• Make a classic, smokey BBQ sauce on the stovetop if you don't want to buy one. If you have a favorite sauce already, then you can happily use it. The following recipe is simply mixed into a sauce pot, then cooked at a low simmer for 20 minute: 1 medium yellow onion, grated 1 1/2 (350ml) cups ketchup 2 tablespoons (30ml) brown mustard 1/3 cup (80ml) molasses 1/4 cup (60ml) Worcestershire 1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar 3/4 teaspoon (4ml) liquid smoke Excess 3 tablespoon spice rub.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300° F.
• Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.
• Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.
• Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.
• Coat ribs with dry rub. Place meat side down in large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out.
• Bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove from oven & pour off liquid.
• Brush bbq sauce over all sides of ribs.
• Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.
• Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same middle oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don't burn. They will be so tender, it's best to turn them using gloved hands. (If foil starts to burn, transfer ribs to a clean sheet of foil for broiling)

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE 30-MINUTE INSTANT POT® RIBS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, onion powder, and paprika in a bowl using a fork, breaking up any large clumps. Rub spice mixture over both sides of the ribs.
• Place a steam rack inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour water and cider vinegar into the bottom of the pot. Lower ribs into the pot by curving them around the edge. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place ribs on the foil. Top with barbeque sauce.
• Broil ribs until sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.

RIB RUB FOR FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS

Steps:

• Combine white sugar, brown sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a container with a lid; shake until rub is evenly combined.
• Generously rub both sides of each rib rack with rub.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place 1 rack of ribs, meaty-side down, in the center of main grill rack; cook for 5 minutes; transfer to the far side of top grill rack, meaty-side up. Repeat process with remaining rib racks.
• Angle the rib racks on the top grill shelf so the meaty sides are facing out and they are stacked one in front of the other at an angle. Turn off heat directly below the ribs and turn other burner on low; close the grill lid and cook for 30 minutes.
• Flip ribs so the closest side to the flame is the furthest side and the meaty side is still facing forward and the rack that was in the front is now in the back. Continue to cook, flipping every 30 minutes, until outsides are crispy and meat is tender, about 5 hours. Slice into small chunks.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, add the oil. Sear the ribs on all sides until well colored and slightly charred. Remove the ribs from pan to a plate and set aside.
• Over medium-low heat, add the onions to the Dutch oven and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the red wine and vinegar and reduce liquid by half. Stir in the tomatoes, stock and fresh herbs. Add the short ribs and cover the pot. Put in the oven and cook until meat is fork tender, about 90 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer the short ribs to a large bowl and shred the meat. Assemble the sandwiches on brioche buns with slaw. Skim the fat from the cooking liquid, strain into a serving bowl and use for dipping the sandwiches.
• In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. Allow to sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. Serve on top of sandwiches.

SO EASY FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS

• Bake uncovered in a 425 degree oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the ribs are desired tenderness.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE STICKY BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• If there's a thin membrane on the back of the ribs, peel this off as best you can. The length of the ribs will be determined by the size of your roasting tin and barbecue - leave them whole or cut in half or thirds. Tip the ribs into a large, deep roasting tin. Whisk the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl until completely combined, then pour this over the ribs. Toss the ribs in the sauce using your hands to ensure they're completely coated. Cover the tin with foil, shiny-side down. To cook straightaway, simply leave to marinate while the oven heats up, or chill the ribs overnight.
• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bake the ribs for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs, turning once or twice until the bones are exposed and the meat is pull-apart tender. When the ribs are cooked, leave to cool a little, then lift onto a tray using tongs. Pour the sauce from the tin into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened. Leave to cool. The sauce and ribs can be prepared up to two days ahead and chilled.
• Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, or set a gas barbecue to medium. Put as many ribs on the grill as you can fit, then brush generously with the sauce. Working quickly, grill the ribs, basting with more sauce and turning every minute or so until the ribs are well-coated, charred at the edges, caramelised and sticky. Repeat with any remaining ribs and sauce if they didn't all fit on the grill at once. Serve piled high on a platter with the reserved sauce on the side for slathering on top. Any leftover sauce will keep chilled in the fridge for up to a week.
