How to Make Backyard Style Barbecued Ribs
- **Sauce #1:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring frequently.
- **Prepare Ribs:** Pat 3 lbs of ribs dry. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Rub this mixture generously all over both sides of the ribs.
- **Wrap and Rest:** Wrap the ribs tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- **Rest:** Let the wrapped ribs rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Bake:** Place the foil-wrapped ribs in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, turning them once halfway through.
- **Sauce & Bake:** Open the foil and drizzle the ribs generously with Sauce #1. Repeat this process two more times during the remaining cooking time, ensuring the ribs are well-coated.
- **Sauce #2:** While the ribs bake, prepare Sauce #2: In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
- **Serve:** Remove the ribs from the oven and place them on a serving platter.
- **Enjoy:** Offer both Sauce #1 and Sauce #2 at the table for guests to drizzle over their ribs as desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
