Introduction
An incredibly tender and flavorful BBQ rib recipe that doesn't require a smoker. By slow-baking the ribs wrapped in foil with vinegar and finishing them with a homemade coffee-infused BBQ sauce on the grill or broiler, you get succulent, fall-off-the-bone ribs with a caramelized glaze.
Step 1
Prepare the rib rub by combining the kosher salt, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and finely ground coffee in a bowl, then whisking until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Remove the membrane (silverskin) from the back of the ribs by working your fingers under it and peeling it off completely.
Step 3
Season both sides of each rack of ribs generously with the prepared dry rub, patting it in thoroughly to coat.
Step 4
Place each rack of ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Splash with yuzu rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), then fold the foil up and around the ribs, sealing tightly at the top to prevent leakage.
Step 5
Bake the wrapped ribs in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until extremely tender and the bones can slide out easily.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always remove the thin membrane on the bone side of the ribs for a better texture and seasoning penetration.
Wrap the foil envelope very securely with the seam on top; any leaks will dry out the ribs.
Letting the baked ribs cool or chill overnight helps them firm up, preventing them from breaking apart on the grill.
St. Louis style ribs are flatter and work slightly better than baby back ribs for glazing in this recipe.
