Big, tender beef ribs are a real show stopper. They’re rich and tender when you cook them slowly.
I season the ribs well with salt, garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika and fennel. Double wrapped them and let them cook low and slow in a 300 degree oven for two and a half hours to three hours.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the aluminum foil and when the ribs are cool enough to handle cut the ribs into sections.
Here’s a brief video of the process
At this point I turn my oven’s broiler to low, put the ribs on another foil lined pan, brush them all over with sauce and place them back into the oven. Broil the ribs until the sauce bubbles but watch them closely, you don’t want them to burn. This should only take a minute.
This is a great option for when you can’t make it outside to the grill. You may not get the smokey flavor but these ribs are delicious nonetheless.
