👩🍳 Detailed cooking process

1. Processing the ribs

• Tear off the silvery-white membrane (membrane tendon) on the back of the ribs so that they will be softer after stewing/roasting.
• Pat dry the surface with kitchen paper.

2. Apply Dry Rub marinade

• Combine all spices into Dry Rub.
• Apply evenly on both sides of the ribs, remember to massage into the meat seams🖐️.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor.

3. Preheat the oven/broiler

• Preheat to 150°C (low and slow cooking mode).
• If you have an outdoor grill, you can use indirect fire + wood chip smoking to improve the flavor.

4. Slow-roasted ribs

• Wrap the ribs in tin foil (you can add a little apple juice or beer 🍺 to increase the moistness).
• Bake in the oven for 2.5–3 hours, until the meat is tender and the bones are starting to show.

5. Make/prepare BBQ sauce

• Combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes until thickened.
• Adjust the saltiness, sweetness and spiciness, taste and set aside.

6. Sauce and grill (Finish)

• After slow baking, open the tin foil and spread a thick layer of BBQ sauce on it.
• Increase the oven temperature to 200°C/390°F and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the surface is caramelized and the sauce is thick.
• If you have a charcoal stove, you can put it on direct fire and grill it for 5 minutes at the end to bring out a little burnt aroma.

7. Finish serving

• After taking it out of the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes and then cut it into pieces after the meat juices have settled.
• Cut the ribs into pieces and sprinkle with a little fresh herbs or extra sauce for a fragrant aroma.

💡 Editor's Tips & Variations

• How to make meat more tender : Slow roasting at low temperature is the best way. Don't be impatient and use high heat, otherwise the meat will be dry on the outside and tough on the inside.
• Smoked version : Add applewood and cherry wood and smoke for 3 hours to have authentic Texas flavor.
• Quick version : Use a pressure cooker to stew for 30 minutes, then bake in the oven for 15 minutes, which will cut the time in half.
• Hong Kong Fusion : Some people will replace BBQ sauce with barbecued pork sauce and mix it into "American barbecued pork ribs", which is super delicious with rice 🍚.
• Pairing suggestions : French fries 🍟, Coleslaw 🥗, and baked beans 🌱, all classic combinations.
