Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs

Here’s a version of the baby back ribs recipe with barbecue sauce:

Ingredients

• For the Ribs:
  • 3 racks (about one lb. each) of pork baby back ribs, each cut in half
• For the Barbecue Sauce:
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ribs:

   • Place the ribs in a large pot and add enough water to cover them.
   • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour or until the ribs are fork-tender.

2. Make the Barbecue Sauce:

   • Mix the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and salt in a medium saucepan.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring often, for about 30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

3. Broil the Ribs:

   • Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil for easy cleanup.
   • Place the ribs and meat side down on the broiler pan. Brush with half of the barbecue sauce.
   • Broil the ribs 4-5 inches from the heat source for 6 to 7 minutes.
   • Turn the ribs over, brush with the remaining sauce, and broil for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred.

Serving

• Serve the ribs hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious baby back ribs!
