Prize Winning Baby Back Ribs

“A foolproof, simple recipe for the most tender, delectable ribs you’ve ever had. Follow the directions exactly, and success is guaranteed!”

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 1 cup barbeque sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat grill for high heat.
  2. In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.
  3. Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
  4. Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lightly oil grate, and lay ribs on top rack of grill. Reduce heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift lid at all.
  5. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle or can beer
  • 5 to 7 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the onions, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and slightly browned around the edges, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved pork, beer, chipotles, adobo sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir until combined. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Tailgating Recipes: Ginger & Honey Baby Back Ribs

Ribs and marinade:

  • 2 2 1/4-to 2 1/2-pound baby back pork rib racks, cut into 6-to 7-rib sections
  • 1/4 cup chopped peeled fresh ginger
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam) – * Available in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets, at some specialty foods stores, and at Asian markets.

Dipping sauce:

  • 6 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided
  • 6 teaspoons ground white pepper, divided
  • 3 large limes, halved
  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray

DIRECTIONS

For ribs and marinade:

  1. Place rib racks on work surface. Using small sharp knife, carefully pry papery membrane off underside of each rib section (use caution—it will be slippery). Place ribs on large rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Combine ginger, garlic, sugar, 1 tablespoon coarse salt, and black pepper in processor and puree to blend well. Add honey, soy sauce, and fish sauce and process until blended. Spread spiced marinade on both sides of ribs (about 2 tablespoons marinade per side for each rib section). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead; baste ribs occasionally with accumulated marinade on baking sheet. Keep chilled.

For dipping sauce:

  1. Place each of 6 very small bowls on each of 6 small plates. Place 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon ground white pepper in neat mounds side by side in each bowl, then place 1 lime half on plate next to each bowl.
  2. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spoon any juices from baking sheet with ribs over ribs before grilling. Place rib racks, rounded (meaty) side down, on grill rack. Grill ribs, uncovered, 8 minutes per side, then cover barbecue and grill until ribs are cooked through, about 8 minutes longer per side.
  3. Transfer ribs to cutting board. Cut between bones into individual ribs. Transfer ribs to platter. Before serving, allow each diner to squeeze juice from lime into bowl with coarse salt and white pepper and stir until mixed, then dip ribs into sauce.

Ingredient tip: Ask the butcher to remove the papery membrane from the underside of the ribs—it can be a little difficult to do.
