Maple Bourbon Ribs
Serves: One rack feeds 3-4 meat eaters
 
Ingredients
  • 1 Rack Back Ribs
Spice Rub:
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sauce:
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ - ½ cup bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Combine all spice rub ingredients and rub all over the ribs.
  3. Add ribs to a Dutch oven, roasting pan, or baking pan. Add beef stock most of the way up the sides of the ribs. Cover tightly and bake for 3 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients.
To serve, pour sauce over ribs before rewarming or keep sauce warmish and pour over ribs before serving. Note: Whether you need the broth when rewarming depends on how long you’re going to be rewarming for. If your ribs are basically warm and you’re heating up for just 15-20 minutes, then you can get rid of the broth and pour the sauce over to rewarm. But if you’re going to be rewarming for longer, then it’s best to keep the ribs in the liquid. While it’s fine to pour the sauce over while the ribs are still in the broth, you’ll lose some of the sauce.
