SWEET & STICKY RIBS



Sweet & Sticky Ribs image

If you like baby back ribs that leave your fingers sticky this is the recipe for you! They are sweet and so delicious! I just put some ingredients together and everyone who has them just loves them and wants the recipe. Hope you enjoy them! (FYI: They are done on the BBQ--not the oven and I did not know how many ribs to put so I just put 32oz...use what you want-it wouldn't let me just say a package of ribs..lol)!

Provided by Bovet

Categories     Pork

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 ounces pork ribs
2 (12 ounce) cans Coke, to add to boiling water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Splenda)
1/2 cup maple syrup (I use ED Smith Sugar Free)
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Boil ribs in water on oven for 1.5 - 2 hours. Add coke to the water and some soy sauce. I really recommend you boil them. Boil them until they are almost falling off the bone.
  • Mix together rest of the ingredients and set aside for basting the ribs on the BBQ.
  • When ribs are done boiling put on BBQ on LOW heat. Baste the ribs on each side every 3 min with the sauce. You can flip the ribs over and over and they will not get "tough". They get sticky from the sauce. Do this for about 1/2 hour. Use all the barbecue sauce up.
  • Eat and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beef rib. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly.
  • Season the ribs liberally with your favorite BBQ rub. Make sure to get the rub into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help the ribs become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last hour of cooking. This will help the ribs develop a nice caramelized crust.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the ribs retain their juices.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sticky BBQ beef ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing ribs!
