Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks of beef or lamb ribs (about 4 pounds), halal-certified
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (halal-certified)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Ribs:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) if baking.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
- Cook the Ribs:
- Oven Method: Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until tender.
- Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the ribs over indirect heat, covered, for about 2.5 hours, turning occasionally.
- Prepare the BBQ Sauce:
- While the ribs cook, combine all BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Finish the Ribs:
- Remove the ribs from the oven or grill. Increase the grill heat to medium-high or preheat your broiler.
- Brush the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce on both sides.
- Grill or broil for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until the sauce caramelizes and the edges are slightly charred.
- Serve:
- Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes. Cut into portions and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Notes
- For an extra smoky flavor, add wood chips to your grill while cooking.
- Pair with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or baked beans for a classic BBQ feast.
- Adjust the level of heat in the sauce by increasing or reducing the hot sauce.
