Description
I reviewed all the recipes for spare ribs and then borrowed ideas from many of them to come up with a blend that we tasted and loved. Great accompaniment to Sunday afternoon football games on TV.
Ingredients
- 8 meaty pork loin spareribs
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- ¼ cup dried minced onion
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the ribs into a large pot
- and cover with lightly salted water. Bring the ribs to a boil
- and boil for 45 minutes. Drain off the water and set the ribs aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large
- heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the oil shimmers
- and brown the ribs on all sides
- about 10 minutes per side. Remove the ribs
- and pour in the beef broth
- ketchup
- brown sugar
- lemon juice
- vinegar
- Worcestershire sauce
- soy sauce
- red pepper flakes
- seafood seasoning
- dried onion
- nutmeg
- and salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients until the sauce has dissolved any brown bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat
- and transfer the ribs back into the sauce.
- Coat the ribs with sauce
- cover the pan
- and simmer over low heat until the meat is very tender and falls off the bones
- about 3 hours.
