Texas Bbq Ribs Recipes

TEXAS STYLE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Cover the ribs in a light coat of mustard. You can either cover all sides, or simply just the top meat side.
• Combine the rub ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle half a cup of the rub evenly over the ribs. Use your hands to rub the mix into the mustard. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator either overnight, or a couple of hours before cooking.
• Heat up your charcoal grill with the coals all at one end (otherwise known as 2-zone cooking, or indirect grilling). Aim to heat up your grill's ambient temperature to 225°F.
• Place the ribs (still in aluminum foil) on the grill side without hot coals underneath it. Cover the grill and leave the ribs to cook for 90 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from he grill and unwrap the foil. Apply the remaining rub mixture, and transfer the ribs back to the grill (don't re-wrap the ribs), over indirect heat again. Cover the grill and cook for 10 further minutes, turn the ribs over and then cook for 10 minutes more.
• Remove from grill, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to rest for 10-20 minutes.
• Unwrap foil and serve ribs with your choice of BBQ sauce and sides.

TEXAS BBQ BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Pour wood chips into the hopper of a pellet grill according to manufacturer's instructions. Set temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Trim ribs with a sharp knife to remove as much fat and silver skin from the top of the ribs as possible. Leave the membrane on the bottom of each rack as this will help hold them together as they cook.
• Place steak seasoning in a coffee grinder or food chopper. Grind to a medium coarseness to reduce the size of the salt crystals. Transfer to a shaker bottle. Add chili powder and garlic powder and shake until evenly combined.
• Rub 1/2 of the Worcestershire sauce on the bottom of the ribs as a binder, then sprinkle on a medium to heavy coat of the rub mixture. Flip ribs and repeat on the meaty side. Spritz a light coat of apple juice over top to help it "sweat."
• Immediately place ribs on the preheated pellet grill with the thicker side of the ribs towards the main heat source (toward the back, opposite the lid).
• Smoke ribs, spritzing them with a light coat of apple juice every 30 minutes to keep moist, until the internal meat temperature reaches 198 to 203 degrees F (92 to 95 degrees C), 4 to 6 hours. If it is taking longer don't be afraid to raise the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) but just watch the internal temperature a little closer, as the window of being done is smaller due to the higher cooking temperature. The temperature probe should slide into the meat like a brisket or like butter when they are ready.
• Remove ribs from the grill and place on a large cutting board. Slice into individual ribs to serve, or remove the meat and place on a tray to serve.

• If you use briquets and woodchips, soak the chips in water.
• Rub ribs with dry rub and let set for one hour before starting to smoke.
• Smoke ribs slowly over indirect heat, 250 to 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hours.

TEXAS PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Clean the ribs, and trim away any excess fat. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, 1/4 cup salt, ground black pepper, paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Coat ribs liberally with spice mix. Place the ribs in two 10x15 inch roasting pans, piling two racks of ribs per pan. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Bake uncovered for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and nearly fall apart.
• Remove 5 tablespoons of drippings from the bottom of the roasting pans, and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in pan drippings until lightly browned and tender. Stir in ketchup, and heat for 3 to 4 more minutes, stirring constantly. Next, mix in water and brown sugar, and season to taste with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, adding water as necessary to achieve desired thickness.
• Preheat grill for medium-low heat.
• When ready to grill, add soaked wood chips to the coals or to the smoker box of a gas grill. Lightly oil grill grate. Place ribs on the grill two racks at a time so they are not crowded. Cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste ribs with sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling, so the sauce does not burn.

TEXAS-STYLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
