Thisrecipe reminded me how much easier the Instant Pot can make my life! I spent all weekend around the kitchen because DrJuh was studying (last minute) for the boards which meant I tested out a bunch of recipes. Tired on a Sunday night, I remembered the random pork ribs and our Instant Pot.
1. If you bought a rack, remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs, pulling it down the entire length. Separate the ribs by cutting the meat between the bones.
*I prefer to buy the back back ribs that are already separated to make it easier.
2. Parboil the pork to get rid of any of the meaty odors (often done in Korean meat dishes). Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it is boiling, add in the pork ribs and the mirin. Continue to simmer for about 8 minutes with the lid off.
6. Close the lid and pressure cook on high! I found that 19 minutes was perfect (random minute). It was tender with slight chew. You can do about 16 minutes if you want it chewier or up to about 24 minutes for it to be fall of the bone. When done, natural release for about 5 minutes or fully.
9. In a small bowl, mix the cheese and heavy cream together, set aside. Broil the pork dish about 4-6 minutes on one side. Flip the pork over and broil for about 3 minutes. Take the pork dish out, pour the cheese on to one side of the dish. Place back into the broiler for about 2-3 more minutes until the cheese has melted.
Put a spin on basic quesadillas by jazzing them up with some leftover smoked ribs dripping with melted cheese and smothered in sauteed onions and peppers. These cheesy smoked ribs quesadillas can also be made with just about any of your other BBQ leftovers!
I decided on ribs because we wanted a little variety in our leftovers. These are also delicious with chicken or steak as well! I also have a recipe for Leftover Smoked Brisket Taquitos. You could take some leftover ribs and put them in those taquitos, or you could take the leftover brisket and put it in these quesadillas. Those would BOTH be delicious!
Once you have your stuffing layered up and half of the quesadilla buttered, carefully use both hands and hold the quesadilla closed while you put it in a warm pan. It should only take about 3 minutes to cook.
This recipe was amazing! Kids tried it, kids loved it! Husband said it tasted as good as something he would order from a restaurant. Thank you for a delicious, unique way to use up leftover rib meat. I might make ribs just to have leftovers for this recipe!
1. Stove
Stove Heat a large skillet over high heat and add cooled ribs and pour sauce. Cook about 10 minutes over medium-high heat until meat has a nice caramelization and liquid reduced as sticky glaze on ribs.
2. Broil
Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Heat a broiler and place an oven rack a few inches below heating element. Place cooled ribs on a prepared baking sheet, brush with sauce and broil ribs about 2 minutes. Flip over ribs and brush with more sauce and broil for 2 minutes. Repeat 3 to 4 times or until you are satisfied with the caramelization and chard.
Thanks for pinning this beautiful recipe to the pinterest board! The ribs look awesome! It looks like you need s lid on your bbq ? you could skip the oven and make them the same way in your smoker ? more outdoor cooking fun ?
I just recently start to appreciate blue cheese so need to give these a chance!
Mac and Cheese is the most desired comfort food on the planet! Have it in our home 3-4 times a week but it is typically the store-bought kind. I wanted to elevate this delicious side dish and turn it into the main feast! How do you do that, you might think to yourself. Well, I bought a 3-bone slab of beef ribs and smoked them low and slow, and added them into my Mac and Cheese recipe, it was fantastic!
I started to think about adding the beef rib because I have had it with brisket, which I love, and when beef ribs are done properly they are juicy and tender. This makes it a perfect addition to Mac and Cheese.
Directions
I do this in two stages over two days, because it is a very time intensive recipe (5+ hours, though there is a lot of passive time, where things are in the oven), but it can be done in one. The short ribs can also be done in a crock pot.
Remove short ribs from the pot and set aside to cool. strain the sauce into a large bowl and refrigerate to solidify the fat. When the meat is cool enough to handle, shred and discard the bones. If you are doing this over 2 days, this is where I would stop. If going at it in one, move along.
Once the liquid is cooled, remove the solidified fat. Put the de-fatted liquid in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer. A the chopped tomatoes, followed by the short rib meat. Heat through and then set aside. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite. Drain, return macaroni to pot, and stir in short-rib and tomato mixture into the pasta. Cook over medium heat until the macaroni absorbs some of the liquid from the stew, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly stream half-and-half and chicken broth into the butter mixture while stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook while stirring continually until thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Melt mild Cheddar cheese and sharp Cheddar cheese into the butter mixture one handful at a time, stirring to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Season the cheese mixture with pepper and pour over the penne; stir to coat pasta evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with Panko mixture. Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the liquid is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Try this spicy baby back ribs recipe! Baby back ribs are braised in gochujang-infused spicy sauce until the meat is tender. Then they are dipped into melted cheese which is then wrapped around the ribs. They are so comforting, delicious, and taste heavenly!
Spicy baby back ribs are a delicious and comforting Korean dish. It is known as Cheese Deung Galbi (치즈 등갈비) in Korea. Some American restaurants call it Cheese Back Ribs or Cheese Ribs.
One of the highlights about these spicy baby back ribs is the way one is supposed to eat them. You dip the tenderly cooked rib into the pot of melted mozzarella cheese and wrap the cheese around the ribs.
The first step is to parboil the baby back ribs with spiced vegetables. This step will help remove any gamey meat odour and impurities. This is commonly practiced in other Korean cooking too.
The second step is to braise the baby back ribs with water and spicy baby back rib sauce. This will help the ribs to absorb the flavor and soften the meat until tender. Then the ribs are coated with another layer of spicy sauce to intensify the flavor and add more stickiness.
While you can finish cooking the back ribs and melted cheese on the kitchen stove, you can also finalise them over the portable stove (on the dining table), providing a restaurant-like dining experience.
1. Remove the membrane of the baby back ribs. (To do this, use a butter knife to lift the edge of the membrane and use paper towel to grab the corner and pull against it.) Separate the ribs by cutting the meat between the slabs of bone.
3. Bring a large pot of water to boil (enough to cover the ribs and not spill out) and boil it over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the onion, green onions, whole black peppercorns, rice wine, and the ribs. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the spicy baby back rib sauce in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
5. Prepare a braiser pot and add 1.5 cups of water and half of the spicy back rib sauce. Mix well. Add the back ribs, cooking them over high heat for 5 minutes, with some sauce occasionally splashed on top.
9. Combine the cheese and heavy cream in a bowl. Prepare a shallow pot for further cooking and spread the cheese and cream mixture. Add ribs to the pan. Place the pot on a medium-low heat and wait until the cheese melts. Serve it with a bowl of rice. (Refer above for more serving suggestions.)

This recipe tasted amazing and I devoured both of the ramekins after I finished photographing them! The extra time is well worth it, but making the mac & cheese straight up without any additions takes less than an hour.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy, oven-safe pot with a lid over medium-high heat and add oil. Add short ribs and the bones and brown each side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Work in batches to avoid crowding the beef. Remove beef to a plate and set aside.
Add carrots, celery and onions to pot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until onions have softened. Mix every so often with a rubber spatula. Add garlic and cook for 60 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add wine slowly and use rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce for about 1 to 3 minutes.
