Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 2 cups Coca Cola (not diet)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin (the thin membrane on the back of the ribs) for better flavor and tenderness.
In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. This step helps to lock in the flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the Coca Cola, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Place the seared ribs into a large baking dish or roasting pan. Pour half of the Coca Cola glaze over the ribs, reserving the rest for later.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bones.
Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Brush the remaining Coca Cola glaze generously over the ribs. Place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
