Ingredients:
– 2 racks of beef ribs
– 1 cup ketchup
– 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Assorted fresh fruits (such as peaches, pineapple, or mango), diced
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Prepare the beef ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the racks. Season the ribs with salt and pepper.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine.
4. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. While the sauce is simmering, place the seasoned beef ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
6. Brush the ribs generously with the fruity barbecue sauce, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides.
7. Cover the baking sheet with another sheet of aluminum foil and seal the edges tightly to create a packet.
8. Place the ribs in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
9. While the ribs are cooking, dice the assorted fresh fruits of your choice to add a burst of sweetness to the barbecue sauce.
10. Once the ribs are cooked through, remove them from the oven and carefully open the foil packet to release the steam.
11. Brush the ribs with a final layer of the fruity barbecue sauce and sprinkle the diced fruits over the top.
12. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and broil on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and the fruits are slightly charred.
13. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy these delicious beef ribs with fruity barbecue sauce with your favorite sides and a fresh green salad for a truly memorable meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
