Ingredients

Scale

For the Ribs:

  • 3 pounds (1.5 kg) halal beef or lamb ribs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

For the BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 cup halal-friendly ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (halal-certified)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ribs:
    • Preheat your grill to medium heat or set up for indirect cooking.
    • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if present. Rub the ribs with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Make the BBQ Sauce:
    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, and minced garlic. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Ribs:
    • Place the ribs on the grill over indirect heat, bone-side down. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours, maintaining a temperature of around 275°F (135°C). Check occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add the BBQ Sauce:
    • During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs generously with the prepared BBQ sauce.
  5. Finish and Serve:
    • Move the ribs to direct heat for the last 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly. Remove from the grill, let rest for 10 minutes, and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

  • You can bake the ribs in the oven at 275°F (135°C) if grilling is not an option.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the ribs in the seasoning overnight.
  • Pair with coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
