I'm trying to do a better job keeping up with my recipe blog...makes my life easier when it comes time to cook. So, here's the latest: RIBS. The image of the woman cooking made me smile, and what surprised me was that it's from 1958. Racy! The pin up artist is Gil Elvgren. For my single friends looking for Mr. Right, that's what's missing- you need a grill! It all makes sense now, right?
You'll need:
- Baby back ribs
- Rib rub (check out Alton Brown's #9 rub)
- Apple cider vinegar
- BBQ sauce (homemade or one you love)
Rub ribs with seasoning 24 hours before cooking. I use my brother's secret recipe, so just find one you like. Prior to placing in oven, allow ribs to sit at room temperature for one hour. Place in shallow baking dish/pan and place enough apple cider vinegar in pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Tightly seal with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour at 350*, and no, you cannot speed it up by baking at a higher temperature for less time (I learned this the hard way). After 1 hour at 350*, remove from oven, baste with sauce (mix in some of the pan juice) and place on the grill to finish off. If you do not have a grill or the weather is poor, use your broiler. Cut into 2 rib sections, cover with foil to keep warm, and serve with extra napkins, coleslaw, cornbread, and some sweet tea!
