Baby Back Ribs with Quince Barbecue Sauce

 

Ingredients

2 racks baby back ribs, membranes removed
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Smoked paprika
1 cup apple cider, in a mister

Instructions

Set the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking with a convEGGtor at 275°F, add soaked wood chips or chunks.

Season the ribs on both sides with salt, pepper and paprika. Arrange the ribs bone side down on the cooking grid. Spray with the cider after the first hour. Cook the ribs until they’re well-browned and tender enough to pull apart with your fingers, about 3 hours, spraying each hour with the cider. Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce and continue cooking for 30 minutes. Serve immediately with the sauce on the side.

Quince Barbecue Sauce Ingredients

8 oz. quince paste, cut into ½ inch pieces
⅓ cup dark rum
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ketchup
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp honey
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup water

Quince Barbecue Sauce Instructions

For the barbecue sauce, place the quince paste, rum, vinegar, ketchup, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, honey, salt and pepper in a saucepan with ¼ cup water. Gently simmer over medium heat until thick, 10 minutes, whisking until smooth. The sauce should be thick but pourable.

Seared Beef Spinalis

Ingredients

Spinalis steak
3 sprigs rosemary
Steak seasoning

Instructions

Set the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking with a convEGGtor at 275°F.

Season all sides of the spinalis with your favorite steak seasoning – clean any of the hard-fatty tissue on the inside. Roll the steak and tie it together with butcher’s twine. Take the rosemary sprigs and tuck underneath the string for cooking.

Cook the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 120°F. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest 15 minutes.

Set the EGG for direct cooking without a convEGGtor at 600°F.

Heat a cast iron pan in the EGG for 10 minutes. Sear the steak on all sides; remove and rest another 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

1 cup pecorino cheese
2 cup dried morel mushrooms

Add the heavy cream to a pot with bay leaf, thyme and salt and pepper. Bring the cream to a boil and let the herbs steep.

In a separate bowl mix the chopped morels and pecorino cheese and the crackers. Top the gratin with the crackers mixture and spread evenly. Cook in the Big Green Egg for 45 minutes; check the doneness with a toothpick. If the toothpick can be inserted without any resistance the gratin is done.
