To properly cut ribs for a delicious barbecue meal, first remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Then, trim any excess fat and cut between the bones to separate them into individual ribs. Season the ribs with your preferred rub or marinade, and cook them low and slow on a grill or smoker until tender and flavorful. Enjoy your delicious barbecue ribs!
from what ever you cook
The best cooking method for tender and flavorful low and slow pork ribs is to use a smoker or a slow cooker. This method allows the ribs to cook slowly at a low temperature, which helps break down the tough connective tissues in the meat and infuse it with flavor.
When I make BBQ baby back ribs in the off-set smoker I generally cook them at 200-degrees F for eight hours. I like to use cherry wood for the smoke and I usually put a heavy smoke on the ribs for the first hour. After that I periodically replenish the coals and I will throw a chunk of cherry on the coals every hour or so. Wrap the ribs in foil the last hour of cooking. If you use a dry rub, here's a great tip - apply a very thin coating of prepared yellow mustard to the ribs before sprinkling on the rub. The mustard acts as a "glue" and really helps the rub cling to the meat, but it doesn't alter the flavor of the finished meat. If you want to glaze the ribs, do it over medium-low coals. Brush one side of the ribs with sauce, flip the ribs and apply the sauce to the other side. Let the first side caramelize for three minutes or so and then flip the rack over. Repeat until you are happy with the glaze on the ribs. Be careful not to let the sauce burn. If you used the dry rub/mustard trick I talked about above, you'll notice that the sauce will cling to the ribs very well. This is the process we used to win the blue ribbon for ribs at the Michigan State BBQ Championship last summer. Hope it works well for you.
To cook ribs on the grill, first season them with a dry rub or marinade. Preheat the grill to medium heat and place the ribs on the grill. Cook them for about 1.5-2 hours, turning occasionally and basting with barbecue sauce. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 145F for pork ribs or 165F for beef ribs before serving. Enjoy your delicious grilled ribs!
Cooking riblets is pretty much the same as cooking ribs, but easier. As with ribs, the best method is "low and slow", but it takes less time since riblets are smaller. I think that smoking them works great, but you don't want to smoke them as long as you would ribs (they will dry out). Just coat them with some of your favorite rub, and throw them on the smoker for about 2-3 hours (you might have to eyeball them since small temperature differences go a long way with smaller pieces of meat. Your cooking temp should be 200-225 degrees. If you don't have a smoker you can use the oven, but you may need to find another recipe. The main point is you need to cook them at a low temp.
Yes, if you are baking or roasting them they will over cook and begin to dry out if you cook them to long.
To cook delicious ribs on the stove, first season the ribs with your favorite spices. Sear the ribs in a hot pan to lock in the flavor, then add liquid (such as broth or barbecue sauce) and simmer on low heat until the ribs are tender. Finish by broiling the ribs for a crispy exterior. Enjoy your tasty stove-cooked ribs!
You should cook pork ribs at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3 to 4 hours.
