NO TOOLS RIBZ
Here is my personal recipe for some "falling off the bone", Baby Back ribs.
PREPARE
The RIBZ
should be true baby back ribs.
You should have a filet knife to remove the membrane
on the inside of the slab.
Start by taking the tip of the knife and running it along each bone, cutting through
the membrane and into the bone. Start at the tip of each bone and start cutting a
strip of membrane/fat, the width of each bone you already sliced down both sides of.
After you
have enough cut, you can grab it with your fingers and pull it back while using the filleting
technique to cut it the rest of the way off. Trim off any other excess fat and rinse the
meat under cold water, pat dry with paper towels.
Now comes the personalization of the presentation!
MARINADE
You can do this many ways, I have found that if you marinade overnight in a
Ziploc bag,
laying flat or even in a special
Tupperware
marinade container, you will have better flavor when the ribs are finished. My marinade
consists of the following:
McCormick Season-All, Seasoned Salt, Spicy, 7.25-Ounce Unit (Pack of 12)t,
McCormick Garlic Powder, 21-Ounce Units (Pack of 3) ,
freshly ground
McCormick Peppercorns,
a sprinkle of
McCormick California Style Coarse Grind Blend Lemon Pepper with Garlic & Onion, 4.87-Ounce Unit
and finally a couple splashes of
Wrights liquid smoke household .
Rub everything but the fresh ground pepper and liquid smoke into the meat.
Add 3/4 cup of water for each bag of 1 slab, halved. Add the smoke to the
water. Marinate over night or a few hours, whatever your schedule can fit.
Try to turn the bag every once in a while.
Remove from marinade, discard
the old marinade. Grind on some fresh pepper and a dash of salt.
COOK
Place ribs in a
baking pan on a rack with the
meat side up. Add 3/4 cup water and a dash of
Wrights liquid smoke household .
Seal tightly with
Reynolds Aluminum 28 Reynolds Wrap Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil . Bake at 225 degrees for about 1 hour (1 1/2 for frozen BABY BACK ribs), turning ribs over every
20-30 minutes.
Use
light foil and you will tear it about the second time you peel it open to turn, then you
will be BAKING and not steaming!
Prepare your
charcoal grill
or
Weber 3741001 Genesis E-310 Propane Gas Grill, Black
in anticipation of the steaming finish. You can add pre-soaked
hickory chunks
to either grill and be sure to char these ribs up over INDIRECT HEAT! Grill for about
15-45 minutes adding any sauce you might want to use. I've instituted using a rib rack and will follow up on this later. Don't leave
this unattended or you will have wasted all your time and meat. If you want detailed
instructions about how to grill them, just
ask. See the smoker chip box and the charcoal on the right side and the meat on the left? You can do ALL the smoking/cooking ON THE GRILL if you can regulate your temperatures between 225 F and 250 F and keep the wood from burning. Burning wood will acidify the ribs.
EAT
NO TOOLS REQUIRED as the meat will be falling
off the bones and your mouth will be watering for your tasty culinary reward!
Serve with
warmed BBQ sauce, steamed corn on the cob and a nice salad. There you have it!

The
two cooking processes can be done
separate. If you plan on grilling them later in the day just let them cool and refrigerate
in between cooking's.
