6 garlic cloves, crushed
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Salt to taste
Beef stock (optional)
6 garlic cloves, crushed
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Salt to taste

Where to find ingredients
Find fresh beef ribs and aromatics at local butcher shops or the fresh produce sections of grocery stores in cities like Lilongwe or Blantyre. Use high-quality coarse salt for the best crust.
Preparation method
- Season the rib slabs thoroughly with the crushed garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
- Place the seasoned meat into a large roasting pan.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil to trap the moisture.
- Place in a preheated oven at medium temperature (approximately 180°C) and roast for 3 hours.
- Remove the aluminum foil from the pan.
- Continue roasting, turning the meat occasionally and basting with the beef stock (if using) or the pan drippings, until the exterior is deeply browned.
- If the juices in the pan evaporate, add a splash of boiling water to prevent sticking and to deglaze for a flavorful jus.
Observations
Slow-roasted beef ribs are the ultimate comfort food, deeply flavorful and perfect for family meals or celebrations. This recipe features full slabs of beef ribs, oven-roasted until the meat is falling off the bone, while achieving a beautifully golden, appetizing crust. Although the process requires patience for the slow cooking time, the preparation itself is remarkably straightforward, relying on simple aromatics that highlight the natural richness of the beef.
