Cuban Baked Ribs Recipes

CUBAN-STYLE ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Grind garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and coriander into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
• Transfer half of the garlic and spice paste to a bowl; add lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Beat the mixture with a whisk until smooth.
• Cut several inch-long, deep slits into the fatty side of the pork roast. Rub the reserved garlic paste into the slits.
• Put rubbed roast into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour the liquid mixture over the roast, squeeze as much air from the bag as possible and seal; refrigerate, turning occasionally, 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove pork roast from refrigerator, put into a roasting pan, and let warm at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast pork in preheated oven for 30 minutes, reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and continue cooking until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).

EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250* F.
• Season all sides of the ribs with your favorite rub.
• Using a 13x9x2 baking dish (or most likely a larger 15x11x2), place the ribs into the pan, do not over crowd. If using Baby Back slabs, place bone side facing up. If using individual Country Style (St. Louis), lay on their side.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and place on center rack of pre-heated oven. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours (depending on the size of the ribs you are using).
• Remove the ribs from oven and drain any grease from dish; reserving the foil for later use (waste not, want not). Flip the ribs over (meaty side up) and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and return the dish to the oven (un-covered) for an additional 30 minutes.
• Once done, remove the ribs to a platter, loosely tent the platter with the reserved foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This step is important -- the resting period gives the ribs time to re-distribute their juices, just like a steak would).
• Enjoy!

MOJO PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Season ribs with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
• Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add cilantro. Add ribs; cook until browned on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in enough marinade to coat ribs; continue to brown, about 3 minutes more. Add chicken broth and orange juice to cover ribs.
• Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow, about 5 minutes. Reduce pressure and cook until ribs are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

OVEN BAKED BBQ BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place a wire rack inside a large baking sheet. Set aside.
• Gently remove the thin membrane from the back of the rack of ribs with a knife or your hands. It should pull right off.
• In a bowl, mix together all your dry rub ingredients. Generously season your ribs with the dry rub on both sides making sure to coat every inch of the rack.
• Place the ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil, top side down, then splash them with the apple cider vinegar and liquid smoke. Fold the aluminum foil all around the ribs, sealing it entirely and securely, so no liquid leaks out.
• Place in the oven and bake for 3 hours or until very tender. Remove them from the oven. Remove the aluminum foil from the ribs and generously brush them with bbq sauce. Place the ribs back in the oven and broil them for 5 minutes until caramelized. Serve and enjoy!

CUBAN BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• 1. NOTE - I think this recipe would be perfect in the slow cooker. Tonight was the first time I made it and I did it in the oven but there's no reason you couldn't use the crockpot. I'd do it on low for 8 hours.
• 2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
• 3. Cut ribs apart, 2 bones per piece
• 4. Place in a baking pan or casserole dish.
• 5. Pour the mojo sauce over and top with the onion and salt and pepper.
• 6. Cover tightly with foil and bake until tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. There will be a lot of cooking juices, be careful!

COSTILLITAS (CUBAN STYLE BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE) RECIPE - (5/5)

• Cut the ribs in 5 to 7 inches sections. Wash well under faucet and dry thoroughly with paper towel. Smash the garlic cloves in a mortar or garlic press. Mix the sour orange juice, lime juice, oregano, garlic, olive oil and 1/ 2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside about 1/2 cup of this mix ( the marinating sauce) to be used when serving. Place ribs in a large non-metal container and pour the rest of mix over the ribs. Rub the remaining salt thoroughly on all surfaces of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator and let stand for 2 to 3 hours. Set you gas or charcoal grill to low and place ribs so that they are not exposed to direct flame. Cook slowly for about 30 - 45 minutes. Time will depend on the temperature of the your grill . (Cook very slowly to insure tenderness). Turn ribs once or twice while cooking. Once they are cooked, increase the heat to high or in the case of a charcoal grill place ribs over direct high charcoal heat in order to brown. Turn as needed to brown both sides well.
