Coca Cola Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.
• Rub mixture onto rib pieces.
• Layer ribs and onions in a Dutch oven and pour cola over all.
• Cover and bake at 250°F for 4 hours.
• Remove pan from oven and pour off cola juices.
• Add BBQ sauce, cover and return to oven for 1 hour more.

Steps:

• Fill a roasting pan large enough to hold the ribs with 1 1/2 bottles of the cola. Immerse the ribs in the cola and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the ribs and cola from the roasting pan, clean the pan, and fill it up again with the remaining cola.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Once your grill is nice and hot, lay the ribs on the grill and begin cooking. Every time you turn the ribs over on the grill, put them back in the roasting pan filled with cola and then back onto the grill. Repeat this process before each turn in order to build a layer of sugar on the ribs.
• After the ribs are almost finished cooking, about 30 to 35 minutes, take the ribs off the grill. Fill a new roasting pan with your favorite barbecue sauce. When the ribs are cool enough to handle, cut the ribs into individual portions, and put them into the roasting pan with the barbecue sauce. Bake the ribs in the oven for 1 hour, or until the meat is falling off the bone.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking.
• Combine cumin, salt, chile pepper and onion powder.
• Rub ribs with 2 T lime juice.
• Reserve 1 t spice mixture; sprinkle remaining mixture over ribs.
• Place ribs, meaty side down, on grill over indirect heat.
• Cover, cook 15 minutes.
• Turn ribs, cover and cook until tender, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, in pot, combine soda, ketchup, zest, remaining 2 T lime juice and reserved 1 t spice mixture.
• Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to boil.
• Stir; over low heat, cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 cup, about 40 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Brush ribs with half of soda mixture; cook 15 minutes.
• Turn ribs, brush with remaining mixture.
• Cook until very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Let ribs stand 10 minutes before serving.
• If desired, sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Make the barbecue sauce: Bring the cola to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and 2 teaspoons paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Preheat a grill to medium and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon paprika in a bowl. Rub the salt mixture all over the ribs. Remove 1 cup of the barbecue sauce to a small bowl; brush over the ribs.
• Wrap each rack of ribs separately in foil. Put the racks, overlapping if necessary, on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping the ribs after 30 minutes, until just tender and beginning to pull away from the bones, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from the grill and carefully unwrap; pour any juices into the pan with the remaining barbecue sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Increase the grill heat to medium high. Brush the ribs with some sauce from the pan and grill over direct heat, flipping every 5 minutes, until glossy and crisp at the edges, about 20 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a large cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with the remaining barbecue sauce.
• If you're making the ribs on a charcoal grill, you'll need 3 to 4 pounds of charcoal. Add several new briquettes to the coals every 30 minutes to maintain the heat.

Steps:

• For the sauce:
• In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add oil. Once heated, add the onion and garlic and saute until tender. Add all the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.
• For the dry rub:
• Whisk all dry ingredients together in a small bowl. This can be stored up to 6 months in an airtight container.
• For the ribs:
• Rinse and dry ribs. Place on a clean cutting board, pull off the membrane and trim the ribs of excess fat. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with rub. Wrap ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 12 hours so flavors can permeate.
• Preheat grill to 250 degrees F. using hickory and charcoal. Set up your grill for indirect heat.
• Place ribs, meatier side down, on the grill away from the coals. Close grill cover. Cook the pork ribs for 1 hour 15 minutes; flipping several times for even cook. Coat ribs with sweet cola barbecue sauce and cook for another 20 minutes.

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a large pot on medium high heat add the oil and onions. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, while stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika, garlic and whole sprigs of thyme. Stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard and tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the cola and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to remove any bits that are stuck. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to slightly thinner than the consistency of ketchup, about 45 minutes.
• For ribs: Heat half of a grill to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the ribs all over with salt and pepper. With the grill lid open, place the ribs over the direct heat side of the grill and grill to get char marks on all sides, turning and flipping the ribs as needed. Lower the heat to 225 to 250 degrees F and move the ribs to the indirect side of the grill and baste with the some of the sauce. Cover and cook, quickly basting and recovering every 30 minutes, until the meat is tender, 2 to 4 hours depending on the size of the ribs, or until the internal temperature is 200 degrees F.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, garlic, salt, pepper and, if desired, liquid smoke; rub over ribs., Layer ribs and onion in a greased 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker; pour cola over ribs. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until ribs are tender. Drain liquid. Pour sauce over ribs and cook 1 hour longer.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and snugly fit the ribs into a roasting tin. Pour over the cola and enough water to cover the ribs, then cover the tin tightly with foil. Roast for 2-3 hrs, turning halfway through, until the ribs are really tender but not falling apart.
• Meanwhile, put all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Gently heat, then bubble for about 2 mins, stirring.
• When the ribs are done, carefully lift each out of the tin and sit on kitchen paper to dry. Tip away the liquid and wipe out the tin. Put the dry ribs back in the tin and coat all over with the sticky sauce. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr to marinate, but better still up to 24 hrs. Can be frozen at this stage.
• Mix the dip ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.
• Heat the barbecue and wait for the flames to die down, or heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Add the ribs (in a roasting tin, if using the oven) and cook for 20 mins, turning occasionally, and basting often with remaining sauce. When ribs are sticky, hot through and crisping on the outside, slice to serve. Scatter with sesame seeds, if you like, and plate up with any remaining sticky sauce, warmed, and the chive dip.

Steps:

• Pour enough Coca cola over the ribs. I use a vacuum sealer, to make it easier, but any way will do. Marinate for at least 24 hours. Remove the ribs from the marinade and apply more pork dry rub.
• Prepare your smoker and smoke the ribs at approx 225 degrees for 4 hours, basting hourly with Coke. Or, if just grilling, grill ribs over medium to low heat until a nice color develops. You can leaeve them on the grill, covered for approximately 4 hours until you reach your desired tenderness, or alternatively, wrap the ribs in foil and put in a 200 degree oven for about 4 hours or until desired tenderness is achieved.
• Meanwhile, put about 2 cups of Coca Cola in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce until you have about 1/2 cup or it is a syrupy consistency. Keep warm. Now it's money time. Remove the Coca Cola ribs, and brush on the syrup. Now, apply more rub to make a bbq pork ribs recipe that is sweet, and also savory. BBQ sauce is optional!

Steps:

• Combine the paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the short ribs to the bowl, rub the spice mixture all over and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note) and add 2 tablespoons of the oil once it is hot. Working in batches, sear all 4 sides of each short rib, about 2 minutes per side. Set the short ribs aside on a plate.
• With the pot still on high saute, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to scrape up bits on the bottom, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and garlic and cook until the tomato paste is deeply toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cola, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and 1/2 cup of the beef broth and stir to combine. Put the ribs back into the pot along with any juices on the plate and turn to coat with the liquid. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 45 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and transfer the short ribs to a large plate.
• Use a ladle to skim any excess fat off the top of the liquid and then turn the pot back to high saute. While the liquid begins to simmer, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of beef broth with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a slurry. Whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking intermittently, until the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrup-like consistency, 15 to 20 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and transfer the short ribs back to the pot to coat with the sauce. Serve the short ribs hot with the sauce over mashed potatoes, polenta or rice, if using.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a heavy, non-reactive saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce the heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer.
• Simmer the sauce until reduced by a quarter, 6-8 minutes.
• Use right away or transfer to a large jar, cover, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Bring chile and cola to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat; reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes. Whisk in garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, onion, Worcestershire sauce, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a simmer, until sauce is thick, 15-20 minutes. Let cool before using. Do ahead: Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
