Coffee Rubbed Smoked Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a bowl, combine coffee, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lime zest, and sliced chili peppers. Stir; then whisk in 1 cup of oil. The marinade should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place the rib-eye in a baking dish and spread evenly with the marinade on both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Cook the steak: Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat a cast-iron skillet to smoking and add 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Place the rib-eye into the pan to sear, about 2 minutes. When it's golden brown around the edges, place in the oven and cook approximately 12 minutes or until a thermometer registers between 138-145 F. After 7 minutes, flip the steak and cook another 5 minutes.
• Remove steak from from the oven and allow meat to rest in the pan for 4 minutes to lock in juices. Slice against the grain and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the rub ingredients. Using a dull knife, slide the tip under the membrane covering the back of each rack of ribs. Lift and loosen the membrane until you can pry it up, then grab a corner of it with a paper towel and pull it off. Season the racks evenly all over with the rub and allow them to stand at room temperature for 45 minutes before grilling. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over low heat (250° to 350°F). Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown, 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened and reduced to 1½ cups, 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat. If you prefer a smooth sauce, use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the sauce. Place the racks standing upright in a rib rack, both facing the same direction. Place the rib rack over indirect low heat, as far from the heat as possible, close the lid, and cook for 2½ hours. After the first hour, baste the racks with water, particularly any areas that are looking a little dry. Continue to baste with water every 30 minutes or so. After 3 hours, check to see if one or both racks are ready to come off the grill. They are done when the meat has shrunk back from the ends of most of the bones by ¼ inch or more. Lift a rack by picking up one end with tongs. It should bend in the middle and the meat should tear easily. If the meat does not tear easily, return the racks to the rib rack on the grill, close the lid, and continue cooking for about 30 minutes more. Remove the racks from the grill and lightly brush them on both sides with some of the sauce. Wrap each rack individually in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return the racks to the grill and cook over indirect low heat, with the lid closed, until very tender, 30 to 45 minutes more.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Tie the roast at 1-1/2- to 2-in. intervals with kitchen string. Rub seasonings over roast; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. , Remove roast from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling; brush with oil. , Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan, adding half the wood chips if desired. Place roast over drip pan and grill, covered, over medium-low indirect heat for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), adding remaining wood chips after 1 hour. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
