Asian Dry Rub Baby Back Pork Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• About one hour before you plan to start grilling, make the rub: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides of each rack with the rub. Set aside at room temperature for one hour.
• Preheat the grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add the drained wood chips, if using.
• Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan, close the grill, and cook for 2 hours, adding about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, jam, vinegar and garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly thickened. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
• Continue to cook the ribs until they're so tender the rack will easily break when bent with tongs, 1 to 2 more hours, spraying on both sides with the tamarind juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Brush the ribs on both sides with the sauce and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is set. Remove from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Cut the racks into 3- or 4-rib sections and serve. Pass any remaining sauce at the table.

Steps:

• BBQ sauce: In a saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer over low heat. Cook uncovered, 1-2 hours. (Note: Sauce can also be made while the ribs are baking during the first hour, Step 3.)
• Ribs: Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Place ribs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle rub all over the ribs, using more on the meaty side. Massage the rub into the meat (tip: wear non-latex gloves for easy cleanup). Cover with foil and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove ribs from refrigerator and wrap each rack tightly in foil. Place them in a roasting pan side by side and bake 1 hour. (Alternatively, you can smoke the ribs, uncovered, in a smoker at 220 degrees F for 1 hour.)
• Take the ribs from the oven and remove the foil. Return the ribs to roasting pan; pour any liquid in the foil over the ribs. Pour the BBQ sauce over the ribs. Loosely cover pan with foil and bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, basting halfway through.
• Assembly: Remove ribs from oven and place on a cutting board. Cut into two-rib portions and serve stacked on a platter, with extra sauce from the pan on the side.

Steps:

• Make the brine: Remove 3 wide strips zest from the orange with a vegetable peeler. Squeeze 3 tablespoons orange juice and set aside. Combine 2 strips of the zest, 4 cups water, 1/3 cup salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, the star anise, pickling spice and ginger slices in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from the heat and add 4 cups cold water; let cool to room temperature.
• Put the ribs meat-side down on a cutting board. Insert a paring knife between the membrane and the bones on one end, then loosen the membrane with your fingers and gently pull it off. Put the ribs in a roasting pan and pour the brine on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and grated ginger; cook 1 minute. Add the sherry, bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, the 3 tablespoons orange juice, the remaining 1 strip orange zest, the chicken broth, vinegar and soy sauce and simmer until reduced to about 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Set aside 1/4 cup sauce for serving; use the rest for brushing. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day in advance.)
• Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, then turn off half of the burners and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side.
• Remove the ribs from the brine and pat dry. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and the cayenne in a bowl and rub on the ribs. Put bone-side down on the cooler part of the grill; cover and cook 1 hour. Brush with 1/2 cup of the sauce; cover and cook 1 more hour, brushing with more sauce during the last 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into ribs. Serve with the reserved sauce.
