BBQ RIBS
INGREDIENTS:
Pork ribs, your choice
4 cups apple cider*
2 tablespoons Wild Bill's Dry Meat Rub or dry rub of your choice
3 cups water as needed
BBQ SAUCE FOR RIBS
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup dark Molasses
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped onions 1
tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne
pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Add 4 cups of apple cider to the bottom of a roasting pan. Coat pork ribs
heavily with your favorite meat rub; in my case it is my own Wild Bill's Dry
Meat Rub. Place ribs on top of insert of the broiler pan and wrap in
heavy aluminum foil folding foil overhang underneath the roasting pan to
create as tight a seal as possible to steam the ribs. Place in a 350
degree oven for one hour and reduce heat to 250 and leave an additional
hour.
While ribs are cooking, add the bbq sauce ingredients in a heavy stock pot
and bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer and sauce should barely be
bubbling and simmer about 5 to 10 minutes until sauce is the desired
thickness and turn burner off. After two hours are up, remove roasting
pan and remove aluminum foil carefully since you will use it again and brush
the BBQ rib sauce heavily on ribs and place aluminum foil back over the
ribs. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees and after one hour check the
ribs for tenderness and coat the ribs with additional BBQ rib sauce. Reduce
oven temperature to 300 degrees and after 30 minutes remove from oven and
serve with your favorite sides.
This recipe is a compilation of cooking techniques from Allen Porter, Danny
Wright, Robert Webster and various internet surfing recipes and various
video clips.
Many folks will boil the ribs for an hour or so to help tenderize them
before placing them on the grill, but the aluminum foil method will
work on the BBQ grill outside or in the oven as today. *You can add
beer, wine or liquid of your choice to the roasting pan to help add
additional flavors but the main reason is to steam tenderize the ribs and
get them done enough before you start applying the bbq sauce. This bbq
sauce since it has sugar and ketchup will turn dark on you but it will
certainly have you wondering why you have been purchasing "store bought"
bbq sauce instead of making your own; whereas most of the ingredients
for commercial bbq sauces are already in your kitchen cabinets such as this
bbq sauce recipe. The sauce is a little on the spicy side
and if you want to reduce the heat, leave out the cayenne pepper. This
bbq sauce is sweet, tangy with a some heat and is a must for ribs!
