Slow is the whole secret of ribs: hours of smoke or braising turn a tough cut full of connective tissue into meat that slides off the bone.
Barbecue joints smoke pork spare ribs and baby backs with a dry rub, sometimes glazed with sauce at the end, and beef ribs that look like a caveman portion. Restaurants braise short ribs in beer, stout or red wine. Chinese kitchens offer spare ribs with black bean sauce and cumin-spiced ribs from the north and west of China, and a rack of lamb, roasted pink, is the fine dining version.
Beef ribs and lamb racks cost more than pork. On SemFood, 31 rib dishes from $8.99 to $54.90.
