6 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste
Beef stock (optional)
6 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste
Beef stock (optional)
Where to find ingredients
Find the beef ribs at the butcher counter or in the meat section of the supermarket; garlic, lime, salt, and stock cubes or liquid stock are usually in the produce, seasoning, and pantry aisles.
Preparation method
- Season the rib racks with the crushed garlic, lime juice and salt
- Place the seasoned meat in a roasting pan
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil
- Bake in a preheated oven at medium heat (approximately 180°C) for 3 hours
- Remove the foil
- Continue baking longer, turning the meat occasionally and basting with the beef stock (if using) or with the pan juices, until well browned
- If the pan sauce dries out, add a little boiling water to keep it from sticking and to create more sauce
