Oven-Roasted Ribs with Barbecue Sauce




Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




Serves 6 to 8


4 racks (about 8 pounds) Saint Louis–style pork ribs, baby back ribs, or spareribs, rinsed well and patted dry

1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar

1/4 cup paprika

4 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Barbecue Sauce

1. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil, and place a wire rack on top of each. Transfer 2 racks of ribs to each wire rack, meat side up.

2. Using a sieve, sift sugar, paprika, salt, cocoa, cayenne, and cumin together into a small bowl. (Use the back of a spoon to break up any lumps and to press ingredients through a sieve.) Stir to combine.

3. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of each rack of ribs. Lightly rub mixture into the ribs to coat completely. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate on racks on sheets at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).

4. Preheat oven to 350°, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cook ribs on racks on sheets, switching positions of baking sheets about halfway through, until meat pulls away easily from the bones, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let cool completely. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to finish cooking, up to 2 days. (If finishing cooking immediately, raise oven temperature to 425° and continue with step 6.)

5. Preheat oven to 425°. Let ribs stand at room temperature 20 minutes.

6. Using 2 cups reserved barbecue sauce, brush both sides of ribs. Cook ribs on wire racks set over rimmed baking sheets lined with foil until sauce is slightly caramelized and ribs are heated through, about 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; serve with more barbecue sauce.

Recipe



Barbecue Sauce

Makes 1 quart


2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

One 6-ounce can tomato paste

One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

One 12-ounce jar apple butter or applesauce

1/2 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons coarse salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 cups apple juice

1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is translucent, about 1 minute. Add cumin and cayenne; cook 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute.

2. Stir remaining ingredients into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Partially cover; simmer, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours. If sauce becomes too thick, add water, a little at a time. Let cool. Purée sauce in batches in a blender until smooth. Set aside 2 cups sauce for brushing ribs. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 weeks.
