Recipe: Fall-off-the-bone slow cooker ribs
One bite of these ribs will have you begging for more. (Southern Bite)
Here is a great way to get tender ribs with that great caramelization you get from the grill.
Fall-Off-The-Bone Slow Cooker Ribs
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours and 15 minutes
Total time: 4 hours and 35 minutes
Ingredients
- About 3 pounds baby back ribs
- rib rub
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1½ teaspoon liquid smoke
- barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Trim the ribs and cut the rack into four sections. Rub the ribs generously with your favorite rib rub. If you don’t have a rib rub, salt, pepper and garlic powder will work just fine. Allowing the ribs to sit in the refrigerator a while (even overnight) will add more flavor, but it isn’t required.
- Mix the vinegar, soy sauce and liquid smoke together and pour it into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the rib sections, spreading them around the bowl of the slow cooker. Cook on low for four to six hours, or until tender and you can see the meat separating from the bone.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Coat the ribs with the barbecue sauce and grill for 15 minutes, turning once, or until the barbecue sauce is charred a bit.
