Smoked Baby Back Ribs with Espresso BBQ Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
2.7 kg (3 racks) pork baby-back ribs
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 cup ketchup
1 cup honey
½ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup strong home brewed coffee
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine olive oil and garlic and sauté on medium heat until golden.
- Remove from heat and let the garlic cool in the oil.
- Whisk in the ketchup, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, and espresso.
- Return to heat and simmer for 15 minutes to blend flavours. Remove from heat.
- Season ribs with salt and pepper and smoke for 3 hours at 110°C, in preheated smoker. Use hickory chips during the first 2 hours.
- After 3 hours, remove ribs, baste generously with espresso BBQ sauce and wrap in heavy-duty aluminium foil.
- Return to smoker and cook for an additional 1 to 1½ hours, or until internal temperature reaches 70°C.
- OPTIONAL: During the last 10 minutes, remove ribs from the foil and baste again; place them back in the smoker, directly onto the rack, allowing the ribs to caramelize.
- Transfer to cutting board, cut and serve hot.
