π Ultimate Garlic Ribs
⏱️ Time Breakdown:
* Prep time: 20-30 minutes (includes membrane removal & rub application)
* Cook time: 2.5 - 4 hours (depending on rib type)
* Total time: ~3 - 4.5 hours
* Servings: 4-6 (based on 4-5 lbs ribs)
π§Ύ Ingredients:
π For the Ribs:
* 4-5 lbs pork ribs (1-2 racks baby back ribs or 1 large rack spareribs)
πΆ️ For the Dry Rub (Optional, but highly recommended for deep flavor):
* 2 tbsp salt
* 1 tbsp black pepper
* 2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp dried thyme
* 2 tsp dried oregano
* 1 tsp dry mustard
* ½ tsp paprika
* ¼ - ½ tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (for a kick)
* ½ tsp ground nutmeg [1]
* 1 tsp ground cumin [1]
* ¼ tsp ground cinnamon [1]
π― For the Signature Garlic Glaze:
* 2-6 cloves fresh garlic, minced or crushed (or a whole head, thinly sliced for garlic lovers!)
* ½ cup honey
* ¼ - 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
* ¼ cup distilled white vinegar (or wine vinegar)
* 2 tbsp brown sugar (up to ¾ cup for sweeter glaze)
* 5-6 thin slices fresh ginger or 1-2 tsp grated ginger [2, 3]
* 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* 1-2 tbsp olive oil (for sautΓ©ing aromatics) [2, 1]
* 1 tbsp cornstarch [2, 3]
* 2 tbsp water or broth (for cornstarch slurry)
* Optional: Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish
π³ Instructions:
* Prep Ribs: On the back side of the ribs, slide a knife under the thin membrane. Use a paper towel to grip and pull it off in one piece – this is key for tenderness!
* Season: Generously apply the dry rub to both sides of the ribs. For deeper flavor, wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight (optional).
* Make Glaze: In a saucepan, heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger; sautΓ© 1-2 minutes until fragrant. [2] Add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until dissolved.
* Thicken Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 tbsp water/broth to make a slurry. Pour into simmering glaze, whisking constantly. Simmer 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Watch closely as it can foam up! Remove from heat. [2, 1, 3]
* Bake Ribs (Low & Slow): Preheat oven to 275-300°F (135-150°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Place ribs meaty-side down on the rack.
* Baby Back Ribs: Bake 2.5-3.5 hours at 275°F. [4, 5]
* Spareribs: Bake 3.5-4 hours at 275°F. [4, 5]
* Halfway through, remove foil covering to allow browning.
* Glaze & Finish: About 30-45 minutes before ribs are done, remove from oven. Generously brush both sides with glaze. Return to oven, uncovered. Continue baking, basting every 15-20 minutes, until sauce is caramelized and sticky. For extra crispiness, broil for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
* Rest & Serve: Remove ribs from oven and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. Cut between bones and serve with extra glaze and fresh chives/parsley. Enjoy!
