This rib recipe is based off one from Food Network Magazine. It is unique and very tasty! I usually like my ribs dry rubbed & then with a little saucy finish, so I added some Sweet Baby Ray's brushed on before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs, trimmed of membrane & patted dry shopping list
- 6 bags tea (I used Celestial seasonings orange Zinger) shopping list
- sea salt & black pepper, freshly ground shopping list
- 1 orange, juiced & zested shopping list
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp brown sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Empty 3 tea bags into a bowl and combine with brown sugar, salt (about 2 tsp), pepper (about 1/4 tsp) and orange zest. Rub the tea mixture over the ribs and place in a roasting pan. Bring to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 275F. Steep the remaining tea bags in 2 cups of boiling water for about 5 minutes. Discard the bags and stir in the remaining 2 tbsp brown sugar and half of the orange juice. Pour mixture around ribs in the pan and cover with foil. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, until tender.
- Remove pan from oven and turn to 450F. Pour cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer. Baste ribs with liquid and return to oven for about 20-30 minutes, basting occasionally, until they are dark and glazed. Cut into portions and serve. Brush with BBQ sauce if you so choose.
