Barbecue Beef Ribs
 The first time I had ribs was at Friday's in Coral Springs, FL. My family and I had just moved to the United States and Friday's Restaurant was the greatest place in the world. Don't judge, we were FOB (Fresh Off the Boat)? It was so different than anything in the Netherlands, waiters with crazy hats and buttons, obese people, obnoxiously loud teens, free refills, 10 page menu, and Rachel Ray's ass sized main courses. It felt so American to us, we loved it! What did we always order? French onion soup, fettuccine alfredo with chicken, and best of all baby back ribs. The first time we ordered it out of pure curiosity, "Baby Back Ribs" sounds inviting right? After that we were hooked. The rest is kinda funny. We were raised Muslim which means we don't eat pork. For the past 2 months ignorance was bliss, we didn't know that baby back ribs were from pig. Finding out was devastating. We had been enjoying pork for the past 2 months. Despite the lingering craving we stayed away. But never forgot that fall off the bone deliciousness. This was almost 18 years ago and the craving is still present. (note: I'm pretty sure I eat bacon everyday now, so no I no longer hate on pork) . Chinese spare , Memphis style, dry rubbed, wet, beef, lamb, pork, anything ribs, I AM OBSESSED. Where does all the flavor in meat come from ? Bone and fat. What are ribs? Bone and fat. With a good barbecue sauce, glaze, or rub and the right cooking technique ribs become flavor heaven. Every Saturday at work we do a full bone in rib roast (crazy med-rare awesomeness). If we don't sell the whole roast I'll shave the meat and do a french dip sandwich Monday lunch special. This is where my beef rib experimentation began. I'd cut off the ribs from the roast and turn them into fall off the bone flavor town. The following recipe is a variation on the flavor town beef ribs I make in the restaurant. One major difference, smoke. Smoking ribs at low heat in a smoker produces the best tasting ribs, it's just a fact. But I don't have wood or a smoker. So how do you get smoke flavor into your ribs without a smoker? Liquid smoke? I heard it's great but I'm a bit of a purist. Uncle Joe's Smoked Turkey Wings is the solution.  I added one to the braising liquid and wow did it pack some smoke. If you have a grill, stove, and some time you can make these beef ribs. Absolutely delicious. Recipe: (serves 2-3) 7-8 rib beef rack 1 large smoked turkey wing (smoked ham hock is a good substitute) 32 oz Beef Broth (one carton) 1 onion rough chop 3 celery stocks rough chop 4 cloves garlic rough chop 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup barbecue sauce 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp salt Dry Rub: 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp pepper 1 tbsp salt  Preheat grill to 500-600 degrees F. Liberally spread dry rub on the ribs and place on hot grill. Grill until rib rack is nicely charred. (note: You do not need to fully cook them on the grill. The grilling is merely for added flavor). Remove from grill and set aside. In a dutch oven sweat out the onions, celery, garlic, and tomato paste in the vegetable oil. Add beef rack (note: You might need to cut the rack in half to fit it into the dutch oven, I did), turkey wing, beef broth, cider vinegar, and salt. The ribs should be just covered by the braising liquid, if not add water until they are.  Bring the dutch oven to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with the lid. Simmer for 3-4 hours or until the meat is falling off the bone. Preheat oven broiler to 500 degrees F. Remove the ribs from the dutch oven and place on a baking sheet (convex side up).  Spread barbecue sauce evenly on the rack and place under the broiler. Broil for 5 minutes or until barbecue sauce starts to caramelize and char.  Damn!!!!!!!!!!! So good. Sweet, fall off the bone, moist, and smokey. Its not smoke house good but it's pretty close. Awesome. My mom took a bite and said, "It tastes like the baby back ribs from Friday's." Perfect compliment. Make it, Eat It, Enjoy  related searches : Barbecue
