ALL RECIPES

Barbecued Beef Ribs with Sweet Barbecue Sauce

  • Pair with Cabernet Sauvignon
Primary Ingredients

3½ cups ketchup

½ cup honey

½ cup light brown sugar

1 cup cider vinegar

2¼ teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cinnamon

3 beef back ribs racks (about 8-9 pounds total weight), each rack cut in half

2½ cups celery, coarsely chopped

1 onion, halved lengthwise

1½ cups carrots, coarsely chopped

2 whole bay leaves

10 whole black peppercorns

1 tablespoon salt

Primary Technique
  1. Combine the first 9 ingredients in a heavy bottomed saucepan; bring to boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the sauce from the heat and refrigerate. The sauce can be made 1 week ahead of time. If the sauce is too thick, it may be thinned later with the braising liquid from the ribs.
  4. Place ribs in a heavy large braising pot. Add celery, onion, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt.
  5. Add enough water to cover ribs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
  6. Using tongs, carefully remove rib racks from the pot; cool slightly. Cut between bones into individual ribs.
  7. Cover and refrigerate. The ribs can be made 1 day ahead of time.
  8. Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the ribs on the grill to warm and brush with the barbecue sauce.
  9. Cook ribs, turning and basting until hot and grill marks begin to form. Ribs should be nicely glazed with the sauce. Serve immediately.
