Sticky Beef Ribs Recipes

SWEET STICKY PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For sauce, melt butter in a 2 quart saucepan. Add ketchup, pineapple juice, brown sugar, onion, molasses, paprika and garlic powder. Boil for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover. Set aside.
• Place ribs in a large stockpot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink.
• While ribs are simmering, prepare a charcoal grill. When coals are hot, push them to one side of the grill.
• Drain ribs. Using tongs, dunk ribs in sauce to coat. Place on grill. DO NOT PLACE THE MEAT DIRECTLY OVER THE HOT COALS. Cover grill and cook for 10 minutes. Using tongs, dunk each rib in sauce again and grill covered for an additional 10 minutes.
• Serve with plenty of napkins.

SIMPLE BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour until coated. Shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the ribs until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Return the ribs to the skillet and pour in the beer. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan, until all of the browned bits have mixed in with the liquid. Pour in the beef stock, cover and simmer over low heat until very tender, about 2 hours.

STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill using the snake method: Stack the unlit charcoals around the perimeter of the grill, about halfway, then light the first few at one end so the snake begins to burn slowly. (This results in a controlled 325 to 350 degrees F heat; see Cook's Note.) Fill a metal loaf pan with about 1 cup water and place it next to the coals for additional moisture.
• Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper.
• Combine the beer, sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, a small pinch of salt and about 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan and whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer over direct heat and cook until reduced by a third, about 30 minutes.
• Place the ribs bone-side down on the grill over indirect heat. Close the grill and cook, brushing the ribs with the glaze every 30 minutes to an hour, until an instant-read thermometer registers 200 degrees F, 3 to 3.5 hours. (Make sure to keep the temperature of the grill between 275 to 350 degrees F.)
• Take the ribs off the grill, wrap in aluminum foil and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Bring the remaining glaze back to a simmer over direct heat for several minutes. Garnish the ribs with the cilantro and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet in a 300 degrees F oven for 3 to 3.5 hours.)
