Ingredients:
– Ribs (quantity as desired)
– 3/8 cup (95 ml) ketchup
– 1/3 cup (85 ml) barbecue sauce
– 3 tbsp chili sauce
– 3/4 cup (190 ml) maple syrup
– 4 tbsp HP sauce (a brown sauce often used in the UK and Canada)
– Paprika, salt, and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
1. Pre-boil the ribs:
– Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the ribs to the boiling water and let them cook for about 1 hour. This step is crucial for achieving tender ribs.
2. Preheat the oven:
– Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
3. Prepare the sauce:
– In a bowl, combine the ketchup, barbecue sauce, chili sauce, maple syrup, and HP sauce. Mix these ingredients well to create your sauce. You can adjust the quantities to your taste, especially when it comes to sweetness and spiciness.
4. Season the ribs:
– While the oven is preheating, remove the ribs from the boiling water and pat them dry with paper towels.
– Season the ribs with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Apply the sauce:
– Brush the ribs generously with the prepared sauce, covering them on both sides.
6. Bake the ribs:
– Place the sauced ribs on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan, bone side down.
– Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes on each side. Total baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs and your desired level of doneness.
– To ensure the ribs are moist and flavorful, brush them frequently with the sauce while they are baking.
7. Serve:
– Once the ribs are cooked to perfection and the meat is tender and falling off the bone, remove them from the oven.
– Slice the ribs into individual portions, and serve with any extra sauce you have left.
These oven-baked ribs will be incredibly tender, flavorful, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy this delicious dish at your next meal!
