Prep Time10 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 racks pork back ribs (about 1.5-2 kg)
  • 2 tbsp steak spice
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 bottle beer **
  • 1 tbs dry mustard powder
  • 1 tbsp horseradish
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • **if you don't have beer hanging around, just make a cup out of foil and pour in about 3 tbsp of vinegar (I put in a bay leaf too to give extra flavour) and wrap before baking...this keep moisture travelling through the foil pouch while it bakes to create a really moist rib!!

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325.  Take a large baking sheet (like a heavy duty cookie sheet) and line it with foil.
  • Place the rack of rib (s) flat on the sheet and pour the beer over the ribs (should go about 1/2 up the sides of the baking sheets).
  • Now sprinkle a good tablespoon of steak spice onto each rack; Now squirt the racks with the honey and then the ketchup. Cover with foil and then bake for about an hour.
  • While the ribs are baking, put all the dry spices together and mix it up; add the Worcestershire sauce and horseradish and mix into a paste.
  • Once the ribs have cooked for an hour, brush the paste, in a thin layer, onto the ribs. Cover again with foil and cook for another 40 minutes.
  • Once it has cooked a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes, raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Slather with the bbq sauce and cook for 15 minutes uncovered.
