Can You Slow Cook Ribs In The Oven

The deep dark colour and BBQ taste of Southern style pork ribs, slow roasted in the oven, is hard to beat.

Ingredients:

1.5 kg American-style pork ribs
Salt
Pepper
2 teaspoons smoky paprika

Marinade

1 1/2 cups of water
3/4 cups BBQ sauce
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 teaspoons mustard powder

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160C. Season 1.5 kg American style pork ribs generously with salt, pepper and smoky paprika. Place ribs in a heavy-based baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 3 hours.

Step 2

Once the ribs are in the oven, make the marinade. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan. Bring the mixture to boil over a medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/4 hours or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

You will know the ribs are cooked when a rib comes away easily when pulled. Remove ribs from the oven and brush liberally with sauce. Return to the oven and bake for a further 30 mins, turning and brushing with sauce at regular intervals.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Place racks of ribs onto serving tray and spoon over a little extra sauce.

The steam shine clean program on the Beko Chef injects steam into the oven cavity and softens all the remains of food and oil in the oven so that all you need is a wipe of a cloth to clean your oven

Serve the ribs with baked potatoes and cobs of buttered corn.
