Pork Spareribs Recipes

TENDER PORK SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl. Rub both sides of the pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture. Place the spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Whisk together the beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Set aside.
• Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. Place a rack of spareribs on each sheet, meaty-side up. Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the ribs, shiny-side up. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet. Just before sealing completely, divide the beer mixture evenly into each packet. Complete the seal. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours. Carefully open each packet, and drain the drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet. Set ribs aside. Simmer the drippings over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place the ribs back into the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.

PORK SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker for cooking between 250 and 275 degrees F. Trim the excess fat from the spareribs and cut out any sharp or cracked bones. Remove or score any silver skin.
• Liberally rub the ribs with Sawdust Rub, shaking off the excess. Place the ribs in the smoker and cook, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes, until the fat starts to render from the surface of the ribs, about 3 hours.
• Spritz a piece of heavy-duty foil with some apple juice and drizzle with about 3 tablespoons Original BBQ Sauce. Arrange the ribs on the foil, meaty-side down, and fold the foil on the ribs so that steam can escape but the juices are trapped inside. (If you multiply this recipe to do multiple racks, make sure each rack gets its own foil packet.) Put back in the smoker meaty-side down. Smoke until the meat pulls back from the bones by about 3/8 inch, another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes, then slice into ribs.
• Mix together the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, granulated onion and cayenne in a bowl and break up any clumps by hand.
• Combine the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, molasses, brown sugar, hot sauce and lemon juice together in a large pot and whisk until blended. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, then add the chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. Continue to simmer 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from burning.

SPARE RIBS IN OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 275-300 F (depending on how strong your oven is) and line an appropriately sized baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up), then place a sheet of parchment paper on top***
• Trim the rack of spare ribs from any excess fat, pat them dry with a paper towel. Turn the rack with the meaty side down and identify the membrane that runs across the length of the rib bones. Peel it off using a paper towel to eliminate slipperiness.
• Liberally season the rack of ribs on both sides and place onto the baking sheet. If you need to cut the rack in two to achieve a better fit, do so.
• Cover the ribs with a sheet of parchment paper, then aluminum foil - tuck it around the edges of the baking sheet to create air tight seal.
• Place in the oven for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours unwrap the cover and check the meat for tenderness. If satisfied, remove the covering, season with more dry rub or brush with BBQ sauce on both sides. (If you feel that the meat can use a little longer in the oven, go for another 20 mins and check again).
• Place the uncovered ribs back in the oven for 20-30 mins more, as needed (you want a nice crust to form and the meat to be super tender).
• Transfer to a cutting board, use tongs and a sharp chef's knife to slice the ribs, brush with BBQ sauce again (if using) and serve.
