BBQ rib recipe
I'm looking for a good BBQ rib recipe that doesn't use bottled sauces. Any suggestions?
I found this one from Emeril and this one from allrecipes. In some of the comments on the allrecipes one, people suggest boiling the ribs first. What does this do and is it better that way? Being a vegetarian, I have no clue and DH isn't a big rib person.
Thanks

Re: BBQ rib recipe
The rule of thumb with BBQ is cook it low and slow. It's really easy to make your own sauce, but bbq doesn't mean you have to have a sauce. D usually does more of a dry rub, which I like too.
I don't like allrecipes that much - I tend to check out the Food Network website for stuff.
I've used the Alton Brown one - that turns out excellent!
I'm more of a I-will-throw-crap-into-the-crockpot-and-see-how-it-turns-out kind of a person though. I've had the most luck with just doing a spice rub and throwing them into the crockpot with root beer.
Homemade BBQ sauce = worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, a bit of mustard, ketchup, garlic and a touch of soy sauce. Heat everything up on the stove and let simmer until the brown sugar is melted and it's the consistency that you want.
I will definitely use the Alton Brown recipe. Thanks! It looks as good as anything to me and the reviewers didn't have to make huge changes to it plus there's a video.
So my question is how big are 2 whole slabs of ribs that the recipe calls for? I ordered 4 lbs. of baby back ribs....just wondering how this equates to 2 slabs.
This is how I am with vegetarian food but I'm beyond lost when it comes to meat. If I don't follow a recipe, there's no telling what will happen.

Here's a basamic glazed short ribs recipe from Campiello's in Eden Prairie.

I make them about once a month as they are DH's favorite. When I do, I put a dry rub from Famous Dave's on them and let them sit overnight in a ziplocl in the fridge.
Then I put the oven on 250 degrees and lay the slabs on the broiler pan. In the bottom part I fill it with water and let the ribs steam for about 4-6 hours. OR I put water in the bottom of my crockpot and a metal grate and put the ribs in there on low for about 2-4 hours.
Then I put them on the grill to brown up and baste with the BBQ.
The steaming them leaves the juices in the meat and all the flavor. I found when I polied them all the flavor was gone.
I have the online subscription to www.cooksillustrated.com - the sam people that do America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country. I've never once been disappointed with a recipe, and I've tried a LOT of them. They give really good step by step instructions. I swear, they're practically fool-proof. A year membership is pretty cheap. You can also try the America's Test Kitchen website, and they have some of the recipes up for fre that they show on tv.
Otherwis, I agree with pp's comment on low and slow.
This isn't really a bbq rib recipe, but I do have crockpot recipe smokey applebutter ribs that's really good and super easy. My dad particularly loves it, and he's a very picky, "meat and potatoes" kind of eater.
Slice one onion and put on bottom of crockpot. Layer on large packag of country style ribs, seasond with salt and pepper. Mix together 3/4 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup applebutter, two cloves of pressed/minced garlic, and two teaspoons of liquid smoke together. Spread mixture over ribs. Cook on "low" for 8 - 10 hours. The meat will be fall off the fork tender. I strain out the juices and use them as a sauce for the ribs or gravy for mashed potatoes. Leftovers make great pulled pork sandwiches.
