Super Tender Ribs - Step by Step
- Remove the Membrane
This seems to be a point of hot debate amongst rib lovers - do you remove the membrane or not? I do... Slide a sharp knife between the bone and the membrane and it should loosen. Then you can just peel it off.
- Ready to Rub
Three racks of side ribs, membrane (and any excess fat) removed.
- Rub of Choice - Butt Rub
This stuff is great - www.buttrub.com - I understand they now sell it at costco. We use it for everything...
- Rub away
Cover your ribs - both sides - generously with your rub of choice.
- Wrap and Chill
Wrap your rubbed ribs in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day - try to not eat 'em raw
These will smell great the next day, once you pull 'em from the fridge.
- Wrap 'em up, Stick 'em in the oven
Wrap each rack of ribs individually in foil, then put them in a baking dish and stick them in a low oven (~275 degrees F) for about 3 hours.
This actually cooks the ribs, and they'll be fall-off-the-bone tender when you're done. Since you've wrapped them individually, each rack basically braises in their own juices.
- After 3 hours
Take the ribs out, and reserve the juice that has collected in the foil.
At this point the ribs are basically done - they're cooked. You still need to sauce 'em up and finish them on the grill, but the hard work is done. If you're hosting a party, you can do this all in advance and then dinner is a snap.
- The Sauce
Take the juice from the ribs, and use it as a base for whatever BBQ sauce you want. You can even cheat by mixing a bottle of your favourite pre-made sauce with this liquid, bring it up to a simmer, then use it to mop your ribs.
- Ready for the grill
Pour some sauce over the ribs, and they're ready to grill
- A few minutes and you're done
Watch out - the meat is so tender that if it sticks, you're going to destroy the rack. So have a clean / hot / greased grill, and don't flip your ribs until they're ready...
3-5 mins per side is all it takes, and your ribs are ready.
- Fall off the Bone Tender
You could use a spoon...
- Coleslaw and Cornbread - Perfect!
There's no better combination than ribs with Coleslaw and fresh cornbread
