Ingredients
- 6 pounds beef ribs or your favorite type of ribs
CHIPOTLE CORIANDER CURE
- 1/4 cup coriander seeds
- 1/4 cup black peppercorns
- 8 cloves garlic — peeled
- 4 shallots — peeled
- 1/4 cup chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely minced orange zest
Method
- Place the ribs, meaty side down, on a flat surface.
- Using your fingernail, loosen a little of the membrane along the end of the last rib bone.
- Then, grasp the membrane firmly with a paper towel (so that the membrane doesn’t slip from your grip).
- Holding the ribs down with the other hand, pull the membrane away.
- If it doesn’t pull away in one piece, dislodge any remaining membrane, grip it with a paper towel, and pull the membrane away.
- Then place the ribs in a rectangular dish or baking pan.
- To make the cure, place the coriander seeds and peppercorns in a small saute’ pan placed over medium heat and toast until the peppercorns begin to smoke.
- Transfer to a spice grinder and grind finely.
- Mince the garlic and shallots in a food processor.
- Add the ground spices and chipotle chiles and mince for 10 seconds.
- Add all the remaining ingredients and process until the mixture becomes a thick paste.
Makes 2 1/2 cups.
- Coat the ribs on both sides with the cure.
- Marinate the ribs, refrigerated, for at least 15 minutes.
- For more flavor, marinate for up to 8 hours.
- If using a gas barbecue, preheat it to medium (325F).
- If using charcoal or wood, prepare a fire.
- When the coals or wood are ash covered, push them to the outside of the grill.
- Place a pan of water in the bottom of the grill among the coals, and cover the coals with the cooking grate.
- Place a rib rack on the cooking grate and add the ribs.
- Alternatively, brush the cooking grate with a flavorless cooking oil, such as safflower oil, and then lay the ribs meaty side up in the center of the grill.
- Cover the grill.
- Regulate the heat so it remains at a medium temperature.
- Occasionally during cooking, baste the ribs with extra marinade.
- Grill the ribs until the meat begins to shrink from the ends of the rib bones.
