FALL-OFF-THE-BONE BABY BACK RIBS

• The last 2 hours of cooking, paint the ribs with the sauce every 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix Brown sugar with spices and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 2 piece broiler pan, the lower half filled with very hot water, then layer racks of rib on the top. Ribs can be left whole in racks and layered, I have done 6 at a time, they still come out great. Rub the brown sugar mixture liberally over each rack. Then using heavy duty tin foil, cover the pan so that no heat escapes. I usually double wrap the ribs. Set in oven for 3 hours and can be up to 5 hours. Remove foil carefully and cut ribs into a manageable length to grill them. If you try to grill the rack without making it smaller, some of the ribs will fall apart and the meat will literally fall off the bones! Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce, I like homemade or Sweet Baby Ray's brand. Grill over a very hot gas or charcoal rill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with plenty of napkins. These ribs are amazing!

THE BEST FALL-OFF-THE-BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Start smoker on 225 degrees F. I used a Traeger Timberline 1300
• Trim all ribs of any excess fat.
• Remove membrane using a paper towel from back of rib rack (this allows more flavor throughout the ribs)
• Cover with light layer of mustard
• Sprinkle racks generously with rub on both sides
• Place ribs directly on smoker and smoke, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes, until internal temp reads 160 degrees F. I use my Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 for this step.
• Lay ribs upside down on foil
• Add brown sugar (LOTS!), butter, honey, apple juice and a dash of apple cider vinegar
• Double wrap in foil and place back in smoker and cook at 225 until internal temp reads 204 degrees F.
• Remove from foil (watch out for steam!) and if desired, sauce ribs generously and return to smoker for an additional 30 minutes or until sauce tightens.
• Slice between rib bones and serve

FALL OFF THE BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Remove membrane from back of ribs. This is a must! If you don't remove the membrane, don't bother making the recipe.
• Apply rub to both sides of the ribs. The measurements given in the ingredient list are approximate -- go with amounts you prefer and add/remove any rub ingredients to fit your taste.
• Lay a bay leaf on top of each rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil -- wrap them very well, either all in one big piece of aluminum foil, or individually wrapped.
• Put in a large roasting pan. You can put them directly on the oven rack, but I use a roasting pan in case juices escape.
• Bake at 200F for 6-8 hours (I prefer about 7-8 hours).
• Remove ribs from oven and unwrap.
• Generously apply hot sauce to ribs. Brush on barbecue sauce, then grill until nicely browned.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE STICKY BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• If there's a thin membrane on the back of the ribs, peel this off as best you can. The length of the ribs will be determined by the size of your roasting tin and barbecue - leave them whole or cut in half or thirds. Tip the ribs into a large, deep roasting tin. Whisk the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl until completely combined, then pour this over the ribs. Toss the ribs in the sauce using your hands to ensure they're completely coated. Cover the tin with foil, shiny-side down. To cook straightaway, simply leave to marinate while the oven heats up, or chill the ribs overnight.
• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bake the ribs for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs, turning once or twice until the bones are exposed and the meat is pull-apart tender. When the ribs are cooked, leave to cool a little, then lift onto a tray using tongs. Pour the sauce from the tin into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened. Leave to cool. The sauce and ribs can be prepared up to two days ahead and chilled.
• Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, or set a gas barbecue to medium. Put as many ribs on the grill as you can fit, then brush generously with the sauce. Working quickly, grill the ribs, basting with more sauce and turning every minute or so until the ribs are well-coated, charred at the edges, caramelised and sticky. Repeat with any remaining ribs and sauce if they didn't all fit on the grill at once. Serve piled high on a platter with the reserved sauce on the side for slathering on top. Any leftover sauce will keep chilled in the fridge for up to a week.
