Southern Barbecue Ribs Dinner Recipes
Click here to print page.
Here we have assembled all the recipes for a Southern Barbecue Ribs dinner all on one page. We suggest you proceed in the following manner:
1. Make the baked beans, ice tea, potato salad and peach praline pie ahead of time, even the day before and store in the refrigerator.
2. The morning of the forth of July, cook the ribs. Here's the procedure: the ribs are covered with a dry rub and baked in the oven for about 3 hours. Then, as dinner time approaches, the ribs are grilled with a BBQ sauce for about 30-40 minutes or until tender.
Just before the ribs are done, reheat the baked beans.
Ingredients
5 pounds pork loin back ribs(substitute beef if you prefer...however, pork tends to be more tender)
Dry Rub Ingredients
4 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons red pepper
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
Barbecue Sauce Ingredients
6 tablespoons chili powder
6 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
4 cups ketchup
4 cups white vinegar
4 cups water
1 large onion, diced
1/2 cup sorghum molasses (you may substitute with 1/2 cup honey)
Directions
The barbecue sauce will make about 2 quarts of sauce and is best if made a few days in advance. Store in sterilized canning jars and keep refrigerated. It can be used right away but will develop more flavor over time.
Combine all sauce ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.
DRY RUB:Mix all ingredients together thoroughly.
COOKING PROCEDURES:
1. Sprinkle the dry rub liberally on the ribs and allow ribs to stand 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees.
3. Cook ribs, bone side down, for 2 hours.
4. Turn ribs over and cook 1 more hour.
5. Place ribs on hot grill and cook each side 20 minutes, basting with the barbecue sauce every few minutes. Meat should be "falling off the bone" tender when properly cooked.
Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side, at the table.
