 Ingredients

For the Ribs:

  • 2–3 lbs beef ribs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

For Garlic Herb Sauce:

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (optional for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)

 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Pat ribs dry and rub with olive oil.
  3. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and place on a baking tray.
  5. Bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
  6. In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  7. Stir in herbs, BBQ sauce, and honey.
  8. Remove ribs from foil and brush generously with sauce.
  9. Increase oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake uncovered for 10–15 minutes until caramelized.
  10. Serve hot.

 Notes

  • Low and slow cooking is key for tender ribs.
  • Wrapping in foil keeps moisture locked in.
  • You can skip BBQ sauce for a more herb-forward flavor.

 Tips

  • Remove membrane from ribs for better texture.
  • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a crispy finish.
  • Let ribs rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
  • Double the sauce for extra dipping.
