Indulge in the rich, smoky flavors of these Hearty Country-Style Beef Ribs—your ultimate comfort food craving fulfilled. Succulent and fall-apart tender, these slow-cooked ribs are infused with a bold blend of smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, and thyme, then baked atop a bed of caramelized onions for extra depth of flavor. Braised in beef broth for hours and finished with a tangy, sticky barbecue sauce glaze, these ribs will leave your kitchen smelling irresistible. Perfectly suited for cozy family dinners or weekend gatherings, serve them alongside classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes or crisp coleslaw for a hearty, satisfying meal. With just 15 minutes of prep and the rest done low and slow in the oven, this recipe guarantees maximum flavor with minimal effort.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the beef ribs dry with a paper towel and trim any excess fat.
In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning rub.
Rub the olive oil over both sides of the ribs and generously coat them with the seasoning mixture. Set aside.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thick rings. Spread the onion slices evenly on the bottom of a large baking dish or roasting pan.
Place the seasoned beef ribs over the onion slices.
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the ribs, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan (avoiding pouring over the ribs so the seasoning stays in place). Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and cook for 2.5 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid hasn’t completely evaporated (add more beef broth if necessary).
After 2.5 hours, remove the foil, and brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce.
Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and return the uncovered dish to the oven.
Cook for an additional 30 minutes, basting the ribs with barbecue sauce halfway through.
Once the ribs are tender and the sauce has caramelized, remove the dish from the oven and let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the hearty, country-style beef ribs with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes or coleslaw. Enjoy!
