Main Ingredients

Barbecue Sauce

Method

Preparation of Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Ribs

    Begin by rinsing the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the ribs with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Ribs

  1. 3

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated ribs and sear them on all sides until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same skillet, lower the heat and add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Stock and Herbs

    Pour in the chicken stock and add fresh thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. 6

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the seared ribs back into the skillet. Cover and cook on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away from the bone easily.

Making Barbecue Sauce

  1. 7

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 8

    Simmer the Sauce

    Heat the sauce over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Final Steps

  1. 9

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are cooked, brush them generously with the barbecue sauce, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 10

    Finish Cooking

    Place the ribs under a broiler for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and becomes sticky.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and then cut into portions. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
