How to Make Delicious Hot Honey Glazed Beef Ribs

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Rinse the beef ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder.
  6. Pour the hot honey BBQ sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
  7. Cover the pot tightly and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
  9. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  10. For extra glaze, you can brush the ribs with more hot honey BBQ sauce after baking and broil for a few minutes until slightly caramelized, watching carefully to prevent burning.

How to Serve Delicious Hot Honey Glazed Beef Ribs

Serve these ribs hot off the oven with your favorite sides like cornbread, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables. They can also be served as a main dish in a backyard barbecue or family gathering. Feel free to add extra hot sauce on the side for those who like it spicy!

How to Store Delicious Hot Honey Glazed Beef Ribs

To store leftovers, let the ribs cool down completely. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Delicious Hot Honey Glazed Beef Ribs

  • Make sure to sear the ribs properly to develop a nice crust before baking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The meat should ideally reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) for perfect tenderness.
  • If you prefer a less spicy version, adjust the amount of hot sauce to your taste.

Variation

Feel free to experiment with different flavors by adding spices or using a different type of sauce. You can use a teriyaki sauce instead of BBQ for an Asian twist or add some smoked paprika for extra smokiness.

FAQs

1. Can I cook these ribs on the grill instead?
Yes, you can grill the ribs instead of baking them. After searing, baste them with the hot honey BBQ sauce and cook them on low heat until tender.

2. How can I make these ribs spicier?
To make the ribs spicier, simply add more hot sauce to the sauce mixture. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

3. Can I use other cuts of meat?
Yes, this recipe can be adapted to other cuts of beef, like short ribs or even pork ribs. Just adjust cooking times as needed based on the cut.
