BBQ Baby Back Ribs

June 24, 2014 By Lokness 9 Comments

BBQ Baby Back Ribs 1 | The Missing Lokness

4th of July is coming up next week. When it comes to Independence Day, BBQ is the only way to go for Americans. Americans LOVE BBQ! Whenever there is a public holiday during the warm months (probably all year-long in California), people grill. Burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, steak, and brisket. My in-laws, who are Salvadorans, like to make carne asada (marinated beef steak) and tortilla. Our close friends, who are Iranians, make kebab koobideh (minced meat kebab). Our friends, who are Indians, cook tandoori chicken (roasted chicken with yogurt and spices). We may all have our own takes, but we all love BBQ. Who doesn’t love those beautifully charred meat?

As I said last time, Bryan and I made some baby back ribs to go along with the peach-bourbon BBQ sauce. The ribs were moist and tender. I love that they were cooked in the oven first, which helped to keep the moisture in the meat. And of course, there was no need to keep the charcoal going for a couple of hours. Just before serving time, threw on the grill and cooked with some sweet BBQ sauce for 10 minutes. Easy job! Nomm… Sticky meaty goodness with the fragrant and sweetness from the peaches!

Last night, Bryan was editing these ribs pictures before dinner. Both of us were drooling and craving for some ribs. I better make these again soon. If not, someone will be singing the Chili’s baby back ribs song every day. LOL!

BBQ Baby Back Ribs (Adapted from Bon Appétit)

3 – 4 servings

Ingredients:

–   4 pounds baby back pork ribs

–   1 cup peach-bourbon BBQ sauce, plus ½ cup for serving

Dry rub:

–   1½ tablespoon kosher salt

–   2¼ teaspoons dry mustard

–   2¼ teaspoons paprika

–   ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

–   ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dry rub.
  3. Cut and divide the baby back ribs into 4 parts, about 1 pound each. Prepare 4 sets of double layers foils that are big enough to wrap each rack of ribs. Place each rack on each set of foils. Sprinkle the dry rub all over the ribs. Wrap racks with foils and place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cook the ribs until very tender but not falling off the bones, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
  4. Remove the ribs from the foils and let them sit at room temperature until cool. If not using right away, cover with new foils and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  5. Start a charcoal grill to medium fire or a gas grill to medium-high heat. Grill the ribs for about 7 – 10 minutes until nicely charred, brushing on BBQ sauce for at least 3 times. Transfer the ribs to serving plates. Serve immediately with the ½-cup BBQ sauce.

Tips:

  1. Use any BBQ sauce you like. It can be homemade or store-bought.
  2. 1-pound ribs for 1 person seem to be a good serving size. But for a hungry man, 1½ pound would be better.
  3. The ribs can be made 3 days ahead and keep in the fridge before going on the grill.
  4. How to tell if your charcoal grill is at the right temperature? Read.

      Haha! Thanks so much! Happy grilling! I love these pictures were taken outside with the sun and greens. Unfortunately, most of my cooking happens during night time. The sun is long gone.

Yesterday was a good day, and I’m still feeling Yesterday was a good day, and I’m still feeling the hangover from it. To continue w/ the happy mood, I’m sharing a sunshine kind of recipe, Blood Orange Sorbet.🍊 Tart, little sweet & a hint of floral.

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!

Almost every year, I make holiday treats for famil Almost every year, I make holiday treats for families, friends & Bryan’s coworkers. (Except last year, because we just moved to Northern California.)🎁 Year after year, I was told that their favorites are the marshmallows! 
.
Homemade marshmallows are really something special. Soft & pillowy, and they’re usually less sweet & flavored. I have 3 flavored marshmallow recipes on the blog, chocolate, raspberry & orange. Chocolate is no doubt the most popular. If you prefer something fruity, raspberry is the one to go. If you’re looking for something unique, definitely try the orange. 
.
Don’t ask me to pick a favorite, because I do love them all. Another plus about marshmallows is that they last for at least 2 weeks (likely longer), so you have plenty of time to give them out to friends or finish them yourself!
