Preparation

Instructions

0/4

Prepare the ribs
Remove the membrane from the ribs for optimal tenderness. Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
To easily remove the membrane, use a rounded knife and a paper towel for a good grip.
Slow cooking
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil. Cook for 3 hours until tender.
You can also use a low-temperature barbecue for extra smoky flavor.
Prepare homemade BBQ sauce
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Coat and grill
Remove the ribs from the oven and generously coat with BBQ sauce. Broil in the oven on medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes to caramelize.
Watch closely to prevent the sauce from burning.
