Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh beef ribs at local butchers or meat stalls in major markets. For the best results, look for racks with good marbling. Beef stock cubes or liquid bases are widely available in the seasoning aisle of local supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Season the rib racks generously with the crushed garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
- Place the seasoned meat into a large roasting pan.
- Seal the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place in a preheated oven at a medium temperature (approximately 180°C) and roast for 3 hours.
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil.
- Continue roasting, turning the meat occasionally and basting it with the beef stock (if using) or the pan drippings until well browned.
- If the juices in the pan begin to dry out, add a small splash of boiling water to prevent sticking and to create a rich pan gravy.
