Adam's Rib: Beef and Pork Ribs
There is a biblical reference to "Adam's Rib"; I just thought that would be a catchy name for this dish. Here, I've created two wet rubs; New Mexican with chipotle and other classic Latin seasonings. And a Korean-spiced wet rub of low sodium soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes. This recipe is similar to what I use in my restaurant where I sear the ribs in a saute' pan, then flambe' with sake for the pork and tequila for the beef before putting the whole pan in a 400 degree oven. (That trick can be dangerous so please stick to the recipe below) Two continents: One dish! Tip: For added tenderness, marinate ribs for up to 10 hours. Bake (Roast) covered in foil at 300 degrees for 30 minutes and then uncovered for an additional 30 minutes to brown. Beorn Hockenhull is the executive chef at DrinkTapasBar in Pomona, CA.
