FALL-OFF-THE-BONE SHORT RIBS - FOOD NETWORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, add the oil. Sear the ribs on all sides until well colored and slightly charred. Remove the ribs from pan to a plate and set aside.
• Over medium-low heat, add the onions to the Dutch oven and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the red wine and vinegar and reduce liquid by half.
• Stir in the tomatoes, stock and fresh herbs.
• Add the short ribs and cover the pot. Put in the oven and cook until meat is fork tender, about 90 minutes.
• Remove from oven, transfer the short ribs to a large bowl and shred the meat.
• Assemble the sandwiches on brioche buns with slaw.
• Skim the fat from the cooking liquid, strain into a serving bowl and use for dipping the sandwiches.

FALL OFF THE BONE SWEET & SOUR RIBS

Steps:

• Put ribs in roasting pan.
• Mix remaining ingredients together.
• Pour over ribs.
• Bake at 325°F for 3 hours.
• Baste or "rotate" the ribs during cooking to make sure all of them get a nice coating of the sauce.

FALL OFF THE BONE BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (or use a slow cooker liner to make clean up a breeze!).
• Take your slab of ribs (make sure that they are defrosted) and cut into individual slabs (about 2-3 ribs each). Throw the ribs into the slow cooker.
• Mix the pineapple juice and brown sugar together and pour over the ribs. Put the lid back on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 7-8 hours or LOW for 10-12 hours.
• After they are done in the slow cooker, use tongs to gently pull them out (they will literally fall apart when you touch them). Turn the grill on medium heat. While the grill is warming up, mix together the bottle of BBQ sauce and the 1/4 cup of pineapple juice you saved from earlier.
• Place the ribs gently on the grill and and brush with BBQ sauce. Turn the ribs twice, slathering with more sauce each time (you can't have enough sauce!); they will take about 10-15 minutes to glaze over (as soon as that sauce starts to turn sticky, you know they are done!).
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

FALL OFF THE BONE BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Boil ribs in large pot of water with celery, garlic, onion and spice with whatever seasoning you like, I add salt and black and red pepper. Boil on med to med-hi heat (slow boil) when the meat is almost falling off the bone, add potatoes, carrots and cabbage and continue to cook until vegetables are tender and ribs are literally falling off the bone (depending upon how many ribs you have, it usually takes at least 2 hours).
• Mix ketchup, lemon juice (1 put 1 lemon, you don't need that much, just had to put an amount) and horseradish to taste. Dip vegetables and meat in sauce.

BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the short ribs on a sheet pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven and add the fennel, leek, onion, celery and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and wine, bring to a boil and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add to the pot.
• Place the roasted ribs on top of the vegetables in the Dutch oven and add the brown sugar and beef stock. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.
• Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside. Discard the herbs and skim the excess fat. Cook the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for 20 minutes, until reduced. Put the ribs back into the pot and heat through. Serve with the vegetables and sauce.

3-STEP FALL OFF THE BONE RIBS---- EASY!

Steps:

• Do NOT boil ribs, but cut away any large amounts of silver skin or some of the fat. Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt, pepper and Season-All.
• Line a cookie sheet (with a lip on all sides) with heavy duty foil. Spray foil with cooking spray lightly.
• Put ribs in 350 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, until meat starts to brown on both sides, flipping as needed.
• Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce (both sides of ribs) and put back in the 350 degree oven until BBQ sauce starts to caramelize but not burn, approximately 20 minutes. Flip them half way through.
• Once sauce is caramelized and cooked into the meat add another good amount of sauce to the tops of the ribs. Try not to let too much sauce fall to the foil, but it's okay if some gets on it.
• With top of ribs facing up, cover with a low-tented aluminum foil (tented just enough to not let it touch the tops of the ribs) and seal ALL sides TIGHTLY by curling foil under the lip or under the cookie sheet itself. The goal is to not let the steam out as it cooks.
• TURN OVEN DOWN TO 250 DEGREES! VERY IMPORTANT OR THE SAUCE WILL BURN! (As you can tell, I've made this mistake before.).
• Put ribs back in at 250 degrees and set a timer for approx 2 hours. Take cookie sheet out and pull back one corner of the foil (careful of the steam!). Poke a fork at one of the ribs -- the meat should easily come off the bone. If it doesn't, put back in the 250 degree oven and check every 20 minutes or so to see if the steam worked its magic.
• I've done two full sheets of ribs for a total of 4 long slabs of baby back ribs (two slabs per cookie sheet) in around 4 hours total cooking time (time includes browning and steaming).
• You will not believe how easy and tasty these are! Once the browning part is over you basically forget about them. There's really no wrong way to season them or sauce them.
• Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
• *** Special note: I have done the browning part (with seasoning, then the first part of the sauce caramelizing) on the grill for a smokey flavor, but prefer just doing everything in the oven. If you grill them, make sure you only put them in the oven for 250 degrees with foil tent on the ribs.
