Jerk Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs In The Oven
Sometimes I think I have the craziest mind when it comes to creating recipes. My thought process is to push the envelope as much as I can, while still providing incredible recipes.
Moreover, sometimes that is easier said than done. With that being said, you can imagine my excitement when I made this Jamaican jerk ribs recipe.
Also, I was equally satisfied to know that I made fall-off-the-bone ribs in the oven.
So, let me make one thing clear. I am not the first person to come up with a jerk rib recipe, however, I have seen very few videos showing how to make it.
Then, the thought hit me. I have an amazing rib recipe, and I have an excellent jerk seasoning recipe. Why not combine the two together to see what I can come up with?
Let me be the first one to tell you that the results were remarkable! Now, my fall-off-the-bone ribs do not initially have sugar in them.
With this in mind, I wanted to balance out the spiciness that would come from using jerk seasoning. Additionally, I always wanted to try to make ribs using brown sugar.
In conclusion, adding brown sugar was a great idea, and moving forward, more of my rib recipes will incorporate that ingredient.
Is Fall Off The Bone Good?
Anything that is falling off the bone is delicious, but I find this question to be rather interesting. Moreover, my interest comes from the fact that some people do not like their meat falling off the bone.
When I first discovered this, I was in legit shock. I thought everybody loved the food that is falling off the bone, but I guess I was wrong with that assumption.
Personally, when I learned how to make fall-off-the-bone ribs in the oven, I was ecstatic. So, the best way that I can answer this question is that falling off the bone being good is subjective.
I love it, some people hate it, and you may be indifferent. Regardless, I recommend everybody give this a try to see for themselves.
What Temp Do Ribs Need To Be To Fall Off The Bone?
From my experience, 300 degrees is the best temperature to use because you will get the best results when you slow cook your ribs.
On the contrary, I made fall-off-the-bone ribs with the temperature at 450 degrees, but if you do that, I highly recommend that you monitor your ribs carefully so that they do not burn.
With this advice, you will be making fall-off-the-bone ribs in the oven in no time.
Are Ribs Done When They Fall Off The Bone?
Yes, those ribs are most definitely done when they fall off the bone. In fact, the ribs are past done, because you need to cook your ribs for a certain length of time before they even start to fall off the bone.
What Is In A Jerk Seasoning?
The ingredients in jerk seasoning will depend on the person who is making it. I have seen jerk seasoning recipes use sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, etc.
In my heart and my soul, I am a foodie, so the last thing that I want to do is police what should and shouldn’t be in a recipe. The kitchen is a place to be creative, even if that means breaking traditional rules.
In contrast to this statement, there are some ingredients that are common to see in jerk seasoning recipes. for example, most jerk recipe utilizes allspice berries.
Additionally, you will see browning sauce in most of these recipes. Plus, we cannot forget about the scotch bonnet. Although this is an important ingredient, it is hard to get your hands on them in the United States, or at least in Texas.
For this reason, scotch bonnets are not as common, but usually, these recipes will substitute the scotch bonnet for habanero peppers.
