Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Combine all Ribs ingredients in a bowl and rub generously over the ribs.
Wrap ribs tightly in aluminum foil and bake for 2.5 - 3 hours, or until tender.
While ribs are baking, prepare the Sauce by combining all Sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove ribs from oven and unwrap. Brush generously with the Sauce.
Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 15-20 minutes, brushing with Sauce every 5 minutes, until sauce is caramelized.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
