Ingredients
2 whole racks of beef ribs
6 cloves of garlic, crushed
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste
Beef stock (optional)
6 cloves of garlic, crushed
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste
Beef stock (optional)
Where to find ingredients
Beef ribs can be sourced from local butcher shops or the meat counters at supermarkets. Look for 'plate' or 'short' ribs. Crushed garlic and limes are staples available in the produce section of any market. For the beef stock, check the canned goods aisle for granules or ready-to-use liquid base.
Preparation method
- Season the rib racks thoroughly with the crushed garlic, lime juice, and salt.
- Place the seasoned meat into a large roasting pan.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty foil.
- Place in a preheated oven at a moderate temperature (approximately 180°C/350°F) and roast for 3 hours.
- Remove the foil from the pan.
- Continue roasting, turning the meat occasionally and basting with the beef stock or the pan drippings until the ribs are nicely browned.
- If the pan juices dry out, splash in a little boiling water to prevent sticking and to keep the drippings saucy.
Observations
Slow-roasted beef ribs are the ultimate comfort food, perfect for family gatherings or special weekend meals. This recipe calls for whole racks of beef ribs, cooked low and slow until the meat is meltingly tender with a beautifully browned, savoury crust. While this dish requires patience, the preparation itself is refreshingly straightforward, relying on simple aromatics that celebrate the natural richness of the beef.
