Ultimate Cheater Pork Ribs
- 1/4 cup Cheater Basic Dry Rub (page 45)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 racks baby back pork ribs (6 pounds), membrane removed (see page 64)
- 1/4 cup bottled smoke
- Barbecue sauce of your choice (pages 38 to 43)
- HEAT eat the oven to 325F.
- MIX the dry rub with the brown sugar in a small bowl.
- PLACE each baby back rack on a large (24 to 30 inches long) sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Brush each rack with a light coating of bottled smoke.
- Spread the sweet rub over both sides of each rack.
- Seal the racks in the foil.
- (If time allows, refrigerate them for a few hours or overnight.)
- PLACE the sealed racks on a couple of baking sheets and put them in the oven.
- While the ribs are cooking, make some barbecue sauce and set it aside.
- After 1 1/2 hours, Pull out the ribs and carefully unseal the foil.
- The escaping steam will be hot.
- Cut into a rib or two and check the meat for doneness and tenderness.
- If you prefer more tender meat that pulls away from the bone with less resistance, reseal the foil and put the ribs back in the oven for 15 to 30 minutes.
- When the ribs are done to your liking, Take them out of the oven to serve or to sauce.
- If saucing, turn on the oven broiler.
- Unseal the foil, pour off the meat juice, and discard it.
- Brush some of the sauce onto the ribs.
- Broil the ribs about 4 inches from the heat source for about 5 minutes.
- Watch carefully while the sauce caramelizes and do not allow it to burn.
- LAY the ribs on a cutting board and separate them into sections of 1 to 4 ribs.
- Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
