Sarasota's Lamb Baby Back Ribs

Total Time: 27 hrs Preparation Time: 24 hrs Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

  • Servings: 8
  • 3 -4 slabs baby back ribs (i don't get specific weight because this marinade can be used on as many as you cook, this amount wi)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 (12 ounce) bottles dark beer
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • barbecue sauce (use your favorite,there are way too many favorites to name just one, so just use your favorite sauce)
  • bourbon

Recipe

  • 1 ribs and rub -- the night before you plan to cook these, i mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and then rub the ribs. just rub them up, on both sides. wrap in plastic wrap and put 2 ribs in each of the aluminum tins. refrigerate over night.
  • 2 baking the ribs -- the next day, in the same aluminum pans, just remove the saran wrap, cut each of the racks in half to make them easier to handle, and put the ribs in the pan. add the beer (1 beer per pan), 1 tablespoon cider vinegar per pan, bay leaf (1 bay leaf per pan) and cover with foil.
  • 3 cook covered with foil for 2 1/2 hours at 350. now i check at 2 hours because you don't want them falling apart before you grill them. i have had some take 2 hours -- so just after 1 1/2 hours, take a peek. you want a knife to go in easy but not falling apart. you should be able to pick up the half rack easily but they still should be very tender.
  • 4 grilling -- remove from the oven and take to the grill. place on a medium grill and grill one side for 3-4 minutes then flip. then time to sauce up. sauce each side and flip a couple of times and that is all you need. i like to put enough sauce on for flavor, but i also like my sauce to dry a bit so they are not they messy to eat. it you don't have a grill you can finish in the oven on high heat 450 for just a few minutes too. but the grill is what makes these.
  • 5 i usually cut the ribs in two and serve family style. the meat falls off the bone and great flavor.
  • 6 sauce, everyone has their favorites -- i like my own bourbon sauce, but i won't get in a bbq battle. just use your favorite. there are way too many. i happen to love a spicy store bought then mixed with a little bourbon and some smoky chipotles for a great easy sauce.

Sarah's Lamb Hash

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • fresh rosemary
  • olive oil
  • black pepper
  • 1 lb lamb loin
  • 5 potatoes (or to your liking)
  • 2 onions
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans mushroom gravy (a handy shortcut, but you can make lamb gravy if you like)
  • 6 ounces beer
  • mushroom (optional)
  • garlic (optional)
  • salt (optional)

Recipe

  • 1 preheat oven to 350, heat a flat frying pan to medium/high, and boil a pot of water.
  • 2 dice potatoes in 1'' or smaller cubes and boil till tender.
  • 3 while they potatoes are boiling, dice onions, drizzle olive oil in frying pan, and soften onions. remove them from the pan when they begin to carmelize.
  • 4 slice the lamb loin into 3/4'' chops. chop fresh rosemary and sprinkle in bottom of still hot frying pan. place chops directly on rosemary, no oil. (the fat in the chops will be plenty of grease.) grind pepper on raw tops of lamb. after the bottoms have slightly carmelized, flip the chops.
  • 5 after they are nicely browned on both sides but still rare in the middle, place on baking sheet and in oven while you complete the rest of the steps. remember to take them out to test the centers in about 5-10 minutes, depending how well you panfried them.
  • 6 when the potatoes are done, drain them and put them in the frying pan with the lamb juices and fat. sautee on high heat to add some texture and flavor to the cooked potatoes. add the onions whenever you like.
  • 7 when the desired consistency is reached for the potatoes, dice the lamb chops and add them to the potatoes and onions.
  • 8 add the canned (or home-made) gravy. i like mushroom gravy for the mushrooms in it, but find that adding mushrooms myself makes the dish more complicated that i think it needs to be. add pepper and rosemary as desired. salt will probably not be needed, but season to taste.
  • 9 add beer to taste. i like to add half a beer and drink the other half with the dinner, it's a great match! nearly any beer will do.
  • 10 simmer for at least a half hour, if you can. the lamb will become even more tender, the potatoes will soften and thicken the sauce, and the onions will both add and absorb flavor.
  • 11 i know this seems long, but it is satisfying to make and the prep can be done in a half hour to an hour, simmering afterwards as long as you like. it's definitely worth it!
