TENDER GRILLED SPARE RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the dry rub and the oil in a large bowl, and, using your hands, coat the ribs completely, rubbing the flesh really well.
• Cover, and leave in the fridge for anywhere from a few minutes to overnight.
• When you're ready to cook, preheat the grill or oven to 350 F.
• Line a large ovenproof dish or sheet pan with a large piece of foil. Place the ribs on top. Cover with another large piece of foil, and crimp the edges of the top and bottom sheets to seal.
• Cook on the grill or in the oven for 2 hours, until the ribs reach an internal temperature of at least 145 F.
• Remove the ribs from the heat source, pour the barbecue sauce over them, and brush to coat thoroughly.
• Place the ribs back on the grill for 5 minutes to caramelize (or brown them on a hot griddle or under the broiler for 5 minutes).
• Remove the ribs from the heat, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve alongside additional barbecue sauce.

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.

WONDERFULLY TENDER PORK SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Bring water, stock and five spice to the boil, add ribs and turn heat down to low and cook for about 90 Min's until pork can be pulled from the bone.
• Drain pork, heat oil in a fry pan and fry pork on all sides to brown, serve immediately.
• Sauce.
• Combine all the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil, serve ribs with sauce on the side.
• I served my ribs with this sauce and sweet chili sauce so serve with whatever you enjoy.

TENDER, EASY RIBS

Steps:

• Lay each rack out on a heavy duty foil sheet.
• Mix Rib Rub into a thick paste and use your hands to rub it into the meat. You want to rub a thin layer all over without leaving any gritty deposits. It will stain the meat a rich red color. Work the rub into the meat for at least a minute (I hate doing this but it must be done!). Store extra rub in the refrigerator.
• Wrap tightly in foil. I lay the racks vertically on long vertical sheets. I fold over the top and bottom, then bring the sides up so they are even and fold over and crease, then roll down until the seam is flush against the meat. Be careful not to allow the bones to puncture the foil (I usually use two sheets to prevent this) all your good juices will leak out!
• Refrigerate until ready to start cooking (the longer they sit the stronger the flavors will be, however you can cook straight away if desired), you can do this the day before if desired or at home if taking to a picnic or campsite.
• When ready to start cooking place all foil wrapped racks on a rimmed baking sheet or large roasting pan, the packets will leak and your oven will be a big mess otherwise. You can pile them all on, they don't have to be arranged.
• Bake at 300°F for 2 1/2 hours, I have cooked as many as 8 racks for that same time without any difference, although if your ribs are very thick you may want to increase the cook time a bit or if you just want to delay you can cook them at 250°F for four hours.
• At this point, remove a rack and careful unroll the foil to check if they are done, the bones should be loose in the meat (you should be able to remove a bone just by pulling it with your fingers). If they are still tight, put it back in for another half an hour or so, keep checking.
• Transfer finished racks (carefully!) to the grill. Baste each side of each rack with barbecue sauce (this rub works will with a slightly-sweet mesquite) and finish them over a high flame for about 10 minutes, get a good crust, be careful not to let it stick.
• If you don't have access to a grill you can use your broiler to crisp them up.
