Mad Johns Bar B Que Baby Back Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• For the ribs: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, molasses, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Put the ribs in a large, turkey-sized baking bag or sealable plastic bag. Support the bag in a 12-by-14-inch baking pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs and seal the bag. Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for a few hours, turning the bag occasionally to thoroughly coat the meat.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drain and discard the marinade. Cut four slits in the top of the baking bag, if you are using one. Otherwise, remove the ribs, transfer them to the baking pan, and cover the pan with foil or a lid. Bake for 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: While the ribs are baking, blend the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
• When the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the baking bag. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce and return them to the oven to bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer. Just before serving, throw the ribs under the broiler to give them a bit of a char.

Steps:

• Remove silver skin from bone side of ribs. Never used to do this, but now understand why the pros do. Using the tine of a dinner fork helps get things started, then it just peels off.
• Put a large sheet of foil on the counter and place the ribs meat side down. You want enough foil to VERY lightly wrap (or tent) the ribs for grilling.
• All the spice measurements above are estimates. We like things a bit on the zippy side, but not burning hot -- just a little bite. With that said, we season the bone side of the ribs heavy with garlic powder, medium heavy with cayenne, medium heavy with pepper, and light with salt. Really hard to over do it, as after 4+ hours on the grill, the spices seem to mellow.
• Flip the ribs and repeat the seasoning. Again, may look heavy, but the flavors kinda vanish during cooking. Why you need to try it once and adjust to taste the 2nd time. I never taste the garlic no matter how much I put on, but the cayenne does adjust the spiciness. Even when we go pretty heavy with the cayenne, it is not over-powering.
• Lightly wrap the ribs. You want to create a tent on top so the foil does not touch the meat. Pull up the ends lightly and seal. You do want to seal things so moisture does not escape. You can put these in the fridge all day, or put on the grill immediately.
• I have a Weber Genesis gas grill that has a front, center and rear burner. Don't have to pre-heat, but I only turn on the front burner to low-medium -- grill will heat to about 250 degrees. Place the ribs towards the rear of the grill (away from the burner). Leave them there for 2 hours. Nothing you need to do except make sure the temp stays around 250. 200 is fine, 300 is fine -- but lower seems to produce better results.
• After 2 hours, open the foil and coat with BBQ sauce. Should be a lot of juice in the foil at this point. If not, add some water, beer, or something. Re-seal the foil and let them go another 2 hours.
• Now the tricky part. Pull the ribs towards the front the grill. Get a couple wide spatulas, open the foil, and carefully lift the rack of ribs from the foil and place directly on the center of the grill. At this point, the ribs will be pretty much done. Remove the foil from the grill. Turn on all the burners and coat the ribs with sauce. Close the lid. Things should start smoking from the sauce dripping and burning. If things are not smoking, turn up the heat. Keep an eye on things at this point. You do want a nice char, but you don't want to overdo it. Maybe 10-20 minutes for this step.
• Get the 2 spatulas and remove to a cookie sheet or platter. Enjoy.
• If you like Sweet Baby Ray's Original, you will like these. Fall off the bone every single time, and they require very little effort or attention. You can adjust the base seasoning to your liking. I have made these with the same general recipe and process from anywhere between 3 hours and 6 hours with very little loss in outcome. Hence the reason I call it "no fail".

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Mix ancho chile powder, white sugar, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, cumin, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, and chipotle pepper in a small bowl until combined.
• Place ribs meat-side down on aluminum foil. Prick back of rib rack several times with a knife.
• Generously apply coating of dry rub to all sides of rib rack.
• With rib rack meat-side down, fold foil around it to create a tight seal. Transfer to sheet pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until tender and cooked through, about 2 hours. Remove and cool 15 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Open foil, drain and discard any accumulated juices and fat. Brush barbeque sauce on all sides of rack.
• Place rack meat-side up and return to oven, leaving foil open. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, and brush another layer of barbeque sauce on meat-side only. Repeat baking and brushing with sauce 4 more times, for a total of 50 minutes baking time.
• Cut rack into individual rib segments and serve with more barbeque sauce.

Steps:

• Raw Preparation: Place slab of ribs bone side down on table. Slide knife under the membrane and against the end bone to separate the 2. With a dry paper towel, grasp the edge of the thin membrane and pull. The entire membrane should separate from the rib.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Combine First Stage rub and mix well. Generously apply rub onto the front and back sides of ribs. Gently pat to ensure that rub will adhere. Place ribs meat-side up on a broiler pan and bake for 2 1/4 hours.
• Remove ribs from oven. Place each rib meat-side down on its own doubled aluminum foil square. Foil should be large enough to completely wrap rib. Mix the Second Stage juices. Pour 1 cup of liquid over each rib. At the same time wrap and seal each rib tight. Return to the oven for 1 hour.
• Remove wrapped ribs from oven. Remove from foil and apply a medium coat of the Third Stage rub to the meat-side of the ribs. Place uncovered in the oven meat-side up for 30 minutes.
• Remove ribs from oven and increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Brush finishing glaze on both sides of ribs. Place ribs in oven for 10 minutes, or until sauce caramelizes.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375F. Place ribs in a baking pan,add 1 cup of hot water. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil,set it aside,for next step. Then place ribs on the foil. Drain water from pan. Put foil back into the pan. Place the ribs on the foil (this makes for easier cleanup). Combine remaining ingredients and spread over the ribs. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes..each side.
• 2. Note: If you like your ribs a little browned and crisp, broil them in your oven for a couple minutes on each side. Watch them carefully so they do not burn.

Steps:

• Remove membrane from back of ribs. Cut each rack into 3 rib pieces. Place ribs in a large bowl and fill with apple juice; soak for 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Remove ribs from apple juice, cover with dry rub, and wrap each piece in aluminum foil, creating a packet. Place foil packets, unstacked, onto wire racks. Reserve juice for cooking.
• Place wire racks into the preheated smoker. Pour reserved apple juice in the smoker's water pan. Cook ribs in the preheated smoker, maintaining a temperature of 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), for 3 hours.
• Put mesquite chips in the wood box and pull out foil packets. Remove ribs from foil and generously apply barbeque sauce; discard foil.
• Place ribs, bone side-down, back in the smoker and cook until meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the ribs should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or stock pot, cover ribs with cold water; add thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaf, celery and onion.
• Bring to gentle boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes or until ribs are tender.
• Remove ribs place in shallow glass dish.
• Set aside.
• (Strain cooking liquid and refrigerate or freeze to use as soup stock).
• Sauce.
• In small saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients, bring to gentle boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to blend flavors.
• Let cool.
• Cut strips of ribs into serving portions of 3 to 4 ribs.
• Pour sauce all over ribs in dish and marinate for 3 to 4 hours in refrigerator or for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Remove ribs from sauce, reserving any remaining sauce.
• Cook ribs on greased grill over medium-hot coals or medium setting, turning and brushing occasionally with reserved sauce, for about 20 minutes or until meat is browned.
• NOTE:Double the sauce recipe for lots of basting sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Cut ribs into serving size pieces (2 to 3 ribs).
• Place ribs in 9x13-inch pan and pour beer over top.
• Cover tightly and bake 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Remove ribs from oven and transfer to a platter.
• Drain grease and beer from pan.
• Place ribs back in pan and coat with sauce (as little or as much as you like) cover again tightly.
• Reduce oven temperature to 250°F.
• Bake additional 45 minutes.
• After cooking at a high temperature you may think that you have burned up your ribs, but after baking again at low temp with the sauce you will see how tender and juicy they turn out to be!

Steps:

• Lay our the ribs on a cookie sheet (half sized sheet pan), with sides on it. Sprinkle on the bar-b-que rub to get a nice coating. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night. Begin cooking 4 hours before you want to serve. Set your oven to 275 degrees. Pull out the ribs from The refrigerator, remove plastic wrap, add 1.5 cups of water to the pan containing the ribs (spread out the ribs as far as possible), cover pan with foil and carefully put the pan into the oven. Cook the ribs for 2.75 hours. Pull the pan from the oven, carefully, remove the foil, insert a fork in between the ribs and twist the fork. The ribs should separate easily, if not back a little longer. If the ribs are tender, dump out the water in the pan. Start up your outside bar-b-que grill. It's best if your grill is large enough to use indirect heat, meaning heat on one end and ribs on the other. Low heat is required, 250 degrees. Now cut the ribs into three bone sections. Dump the bar-b-que sauce into a mixing bowl. Using a set of tongs dip each rib section into the bar-b-que sauce, once completed move the coated ribs to the outside grill, put down the cover and serve within 1/2 hour.
