Oven Barbecued St Louis Style Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Set a smoker to 225 degrees F.
• Combine the paprika, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg and cayenne in a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder is formed, approximately 30 seconds.
• Pat the ribs dry and turn bone-side up. Trim excess fat and, if one end of the ribs is especially narrow, trim meat and bone to ensure even cooking. Remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs by inserting a rounded utensil, an upside-down spoon works well, between the membrane and the meat at one end of the slab. Carefully work the spoon under the membrane to loosen but not tear. Once enough has been loosened, use a paper towel to hold onto the membrane as you slowly pull it down the slab to remove.
• Sprinkle the ribs on both sides with the salt and brush both sides with the mustard. Sprinkle two-thirds of the spice mixture on the meat side of the ribs and the remaining third on the bone side.
• Once the smoker has reached 225 degrees F, add the wood chips or chunks and the ribs to the smoker.
• Smoke for 4 to 5 hours then test for doneness. There are four criteria that should be met in order for ribs to be done. First, the internal temperature of the meat should be 185 to 190 degrees F. Second, pick up each slab from the center with tongs and it should droop into a u-shape and crack slightly. Third, while holding with the tongs, and bouncing gently, the surface of the ribs should crack slightly. Lastly, the meat should pull easily off the bone but not fall off. If ribs pass all tests, remove them from the smoker and wrap in heavy-duty foil and rest for 15 minutes. If not, continue smoking for 45 minutes to 1 hour and test again until done.

Steps:

• -------- The sauce will take a few hours!---------.
• If you don't have that kind of time, use a commercial sauce and skip to cutting and baking ribs.
• *Do this step the night before or a few hours before serving.* You are making your own BBQ sauce! Stir ingredients, beginning with water (leave ribs and garlic salt out), into a stock pot.
• Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for about 15 minute stirring occasionally.
• Simmer uncovered, ALLOW TO REDUCE TO DESIRED THICKNESS.
• Preheat oven to 350°F when sauce has reached desired thickness.
• Cut ribs into serving sizes.
• Place in greased roasting pan or casserole dish.
• Sprinkle with garlic salt to taste.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes bone side up.
• Drain the grease off the ribs.
• Pour sauce over ribs.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting the ribs 2-3 times during final stage.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the ribs on the sheet pan meat-side up and sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the barbecue sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
• About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
• Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a container and refrigerate for several weeks.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 250°F.
• 2. Wash the ribs under cold running water and pat them dry.
• 3. Put the ribs in a large deep dish and pour the pineapple juice over it. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• 4. Whisk together the salt, pepper, sugar, and paprika in a large baking dish. Roll the ribs in the mixture, then arrange them in the baking dish. Add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
• 5. Bake the ribs for about 1 hour or until they are no longer pink when the meat is sliced away from the bone, then remove them from the oven and drain. Add the barbecue sauce and toss the ribs evenly to coat.
• 6. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and return the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Steps:

• Heat one side of a gas grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Fill a small metal can or container with water. Cover with aluminum foil; make several slits in the foil with a knife. Place on the preheated side of the grill.
• Place ribs bone-side up on the unheated side of the grill; close grill. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Flip ribs and continue cooking until rib meat shrinks back from the bones, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Baste ribs with barbeque sauce. Transfer to the heated side of the grill; cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and baste second side with barbeque sauce. Cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and baste first side with more barbeque sauce. Cook for 2 minutes with the lid closed.
