🍯🌶 Sriracha Brown Sugar Beef Ribs
(Oven-baked or grilled beef ribs slow-cooked ‘til tender, then glazed with a spicy, sticky sriracha-brown sugar sauce.)
🛒 Ingredients:
For the Ribs:
- 3–4 lbs beef short ribs (or back ribs)
- Salt + pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Olive oil
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sriracha (adjust to heat level 🌶)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp garlic (minced)
- Optional: 1 tsp grated ginger or a splash of bourbon for extra oomph
🔥 How to Make:
1. Prep the Ribs:
- Pat ribs dry
- Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika
- Wrap tightly in foil and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2.5–3 hours — until fork-tender
(Or slow cook them, or smoke them if you’re fancy)
2. Make the Glaze:
- Simmer glaze ingredients in a saucepan until thick + sticky (5–7 min)
- Taste and tweak: more sriracha for spice, more sugar for balance
3. Glaze + Finish:
- Unwrap ribs and brush generously with glaze
- Broil for 5–7 minutes or grill on high to caramelize
- Watch it bubble and get all lacquered and glorious 🤤
🍽 Serve With:
- Garlic mashed potatoes
