Tomato Barbecue Baby Back Ribs Recipes

FALL OFF THE BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Clean ribs, trim any excess fat and remove membrane from back of ribs.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar, salt, ground pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Mix well.
• Coat each rack of rib top and bottom with dry rub mixture massaging in so it is evenly and well coated. Stack in a large foil roasting pan and cover with foil to let sit in fridge for at least 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 275 F and bake covered with foil for 3-4 hours or until ribs are tender and start to fall apart when prodded with a fork. Depending on the cut of the ribs it may take a little longer to get to this level of tenderness.
• When tender remove from oven. Preheat BBQ to medium heat.
• BBQ ribs a few minutes each side basting with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce or your sauce of choice. Be careful not to let them sit for long because the sugar in the sauce may burn.
• Remove from barbecue and serve immediately.

BAKED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
• Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
• Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
• While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

• Remove from oven, turn up to 180°C/350°F. Remove foil, drizzle with olive oil, then return ribs to oven for 15 minutes or until rub becomes nice and crusty.
• Line a new tray with foil then baking / parchment paper (you'll thank me later).
• Remove ribs from oven, transfer to lined tray. Pour any juices from tray over the ribs.
• Flip ribs so the bonier side is up. Slather with Barbecue Sauce, then bake 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven, then turn ribs over so the meaty side is up. Slather with Barbecue Sauce, bake 5 minutes. Repeat 2 or 3 more times until you've got a thick glaze on the ribs.
• Cut ribs into individual or multiple rib portions and serve with remaining Barbcue Sauce!

BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Bring the ribs to a boil on the stove, cover with foil, and braise in a 350-degree oven until tender, but not falling of the bone. Cool thoroughly.

BBQ STYLE BABY BACK PORK RIBS WITH TOMATO KETCHUP}

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the marinade together and stir to completely combine. Lay a piece of foil down on the worktop and lay one rack down. Smear the marinade all over both sides of one rack, place on the foil with the outwardly curved side on the bottom, then repeat with the second rack. Tightly wrap the ribs up with another piece of foil so the marinade remains in contact with the ribs as much as possible. Place in the fridge and leave for a minimum of 8 hours, or overnight. When ready to cook, heat an oven to 170C/Fan 150C/Gas Mark 3. Make sure the ribs are still tightly wrapped then place a wire rack on top of a baking tray and set the ribs on top of this. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour 45 minutes. After this time, remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil to see if the meat is tender, while the ribs are still over the tray as you want to catch any juices. The meat should be soft and the bones able to be pulled apart. If not, wrap up and return to the oven to cook for a further 15 minutes then check again. Set the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas Mark 6. While the oven is heating up, collect all the juices in a small bowl and add another couple of spoons of Ketchup. Mix, then separate the racks of ribs and brush the glaze all over. Return to the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes on the rack and tray to achieve a sticky and slightly crispy finish. Serve as it is or allow to cool for a minute then cut into individual ribs.

Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
• About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
