Barbeque Spareribs
Salt -n-Pepper Ribs
INGREDIENTS:
4 lbs of pork or beef spareribs
1 cup of brown sugar
¼ cup of Ketchup
¼ cup of Soy Sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of mustard
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper
1 dash of ground black pepper
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 racks beef ribs, 5 to 7 pounds total
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• Red-pepper flakes, to taste
• 2 cups hickory chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
• Barbecue sauce (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut spareribs into serving size portions, wrap in double thickness of foil, and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap, and drain drippings. Place ribs in a large roasting pan. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mustard, red pepper and pepper. Coat ribs with sauce and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight. Preheat grill for medium heat. Position grate four inches above heat source. Brush grill grate with oil. Place ribs on grill, and cook for 30 minutes, basting with marinade.
DIRECTIONS:
Mix the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika and, if you choose, red-pepper flakes in a bowl, breaking up the brown sugar with a fork. Using your hands, cover the meat entirely in this rub. When the flames begin to die down, leaving flickering coals, place the rib racks meat-side up on the half of the grill without the burning charcoal. Do not let the flames touch the meat at any time. Add a handful of the hickory chips to the fire. Cover the grill, vent slightly and cook, adding a handful of hickory chips every 30 minutes and a bit more fuel as necessary, until the meat is crusty, soft to the touch and well browned, about two and a half hours. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Set the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for around 5 hours. Cut into individual portions. Serve with extra napkins and, if you choose, barbecue sauce.
