Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality beef ribs at local butcher shops or the meat counter at major supermarkets. Fresh limes and pantry staples like garlic and salt are available in the produce and dry goods aisles of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Season the rib slabs thoroughly with the minced garlic, lime juice, and salt.
- Place the seasoned meat into a large roasting pan.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to seal in the moisture.
- Place in a preheated oven at a moderate temperature (approximately 180°C or 350°F) and roast for 3 hours.
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil.
- Continue roasting until well-browned, turning the meat occasionally and basting with the beef broth (if using) or the pan drippings.
- If the juices in the pan begin to dry out, add a splash of boiling water to prevent sticking and to keep the sauce moist.
