Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef or pork ribs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken or beef broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs if it has not yet been removed.
Rub the ribs on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Massage the seasoning into the meat for maximum flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the ribs in batches, meaty side down, for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the ribs and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or beef broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the seared ribs to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer, along with any juices that accumulated on the plate.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning the ribs occasionally. Check occasionally to make sure there’s enough liquid, adding a splash of broth or water if necessary.
Once the ribs are tender and nearly falling off the bone, remove the lid and pour the BBQ sauce over them. Add honey if desired for additional sweetness.
Turn up the heat to medium and cook uncovered, basting the ribs occasionally with the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the ribs beautifully.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
