Easy Crockpot Ribs (Fall-Off-The-Bone)
Description
This recipe starts by removing the ribs' membrane and seasoning them lightly with salt before slow cooking in water for several hours in a crockpot. Cooking on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours results in tender ribs that remain intact but are nearly falling off the bone. The recommended doneness check involves inserting a knife through the meat smoothly without tugging.
A sauce combining sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, and sriracha imparts spicy, sweet, tangy, and savory notes. After slow cooking, ribs are brushed generously with this sauce and placed under a broiler briefly, developing a caramelized, sticky coating. Monitoring closely prevents burning.
Resting the ribs for five minutes before serving allows the flavors to settle and the meat to relax, offering a tender bite. This method yields ribs with a balance of fall-off-the-bone tenderness and a flavorful sticky crust.
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs
- seasoning salt to taste
- 1 cup water
- 2/3 cup sweet chili sauce I use Mae Ploy brand
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce (add more if you like it spicy)
Instructions
- Remove any membrane from ribs. Rub ribs with seasoning and place in large crock pot (you may have to cut the ribs up so they all fit).
- Pour in water and slow cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Ribs are cooked through when they are just barely pulling away from the bone but not falling off the bone.A good way to tell if they are done is to stick a knife in the ribs and if the knife comes up without pulling at the meat, they are done.
- In a small bowl, combine chili sauce, sugar, vinegar, ginger, and Sriracha.
- Place ribs on a baking sheet and generously brush the sauce over the ribs.
- Place the ribs on the top oven rack.Broil for about 3-5 minutes or until the sauce begins to caramelize. Watch them VERY closely so they don't burn.
- Remove from oven, lightly cover with foil, and allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
