Easy BBQ Ribs

It depends on your defination of the word "Quick". It is quick to also wrap ribs in heavy foil after putting on some sauce and throwing in the oven for 2.25 hours, seam side up. Drain off the liquid into the sink and then brown them for a few minutes on the grill. Really tender and good!

For those who didn't read the title of the recipe, this is supposed to be QUICK, not slow cooking. Slow cook is the best way and the one we all know, but my husband created a variation of this recipe a couple of years ago. He takes slabs of ribs and places them in a very large pan on top of a steamer; therefore, they are not sitting in water but are steamed. After steaming for awhile, he is ready to place them on the grill basting with the bar-be-que sauce. You cannot believe the compliments and those that want his recipe!

I don't like the boiling idea either. Rather than babybacks, I used western ribs, the thick cut pieces with a bit of fat on them. I put them in a roasting pan, on top of two racks, so they weren't sitting in the liquid. I added 2-3 bottles of beer, a couple splashes of A1 (or equivalent), and a liberal amount of Worcestershire sauce (3-4 tablespoons, I don't think you can really add too much). No lid on top, I roasted in the oven for 6 hours, give or take, at about 250-325 F. Turn them every now and again, when it seems like one side is getting done quicker than another side. When they're done, then take'em outside and grill'em with the BBQ sauce. Tender? Oh, baby!!

I prefer bar b cue grilled ribs

I always boil my ribs, but I add about 5 TBS. of apple cider vinager to the water. They are so tender and almost fall right of the bone. YUM YUM !!!

I always boil my ribs first too. It doesn't make them tough as leather, it actually helps make them so tender the meat falls off the bone. I think the secret is not to cook them too fast. Delish recipe...will make again!

I marinated my ribs in 8oz.Kraft light Italian dressing,garlic powder, a little salt and pepper for 1.5hours. This makes it very tender. Then I put the ribs on the grill for about 35 minutes and basted them in Kraft BBQ sauce. They came out great!!!!

I always boil my ribs first. The only thing I do differently is that I add a whole can of Coke or Pepsi to the water for boiling. It really helps tenderize the meat.

I always boil or bake my ribs before grilling. I like the oven method for "fix and forget" ease but hate heating up my house w/the oven in the summer for a couple of hours. So, the boiling method works well to help render the fat and tenderize the meat when I don't want to bake. I've also used the slow cooker (all day on low) to get ribs ready for the grill it works AWESOME! I always put rib rub on my ribs (or in the water) as well as onion and garlic to add flavor to the ribs. If I have one handy and I'm boiling or using the slow cooker...I use a beef in place of some of the water. Very good!

I agree with the previous reviewer...NEVER boil pork or beef unless you like shoe leather. My fail-safe method for cooking baby back ribs is on the grill. To start, I season my ribs generously with a grill seasoning and wrap them in heavy-duty foil. Place the ribs meat side UP and grill for about 20-25 minutes on medium heat. I turn them over and grill for about 8-10 minutes, meat side DOWN. Then I remove the foil, lavish them with my favorite BBQ sauce, watching them closely because the sugar in the BBQ sauce will scorch easily. For the most part the ribs cook themselves and the meat is so moist and tender it will practically fall off the bone!
