These Sweet and Spicy Country-Style Ribs are the perfect blend of sweet and savory, with a hint of spice that will tantalize your taste buds. The ribs are tender and juicy, with a delicious glaze that will have you licking your fingers. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a fun gathering with friends. The blend of spices and flavors will keep your taste buds guessing, and the hearty portion will leave you satisfied.

The recipe is simple to follow, and the ribs are easy to prepare. First, the ribs are browned to lock in the juices and create a delicious crust. They are then braised in a flavorful broth until tender, resulting in fall-off-the-bone meat. The spicy tomato sauce adds a kick, and the honey gives it a sweet finish. The combination of spices, including ancho chili powder and ground mustard, creates a unique and mouthwatering flavor profile.

This dish is not only delicious but also nutritious. The ribs provide a good source of protein, and the addition of carrots and onions adds a boost of vitamins and minerals. The homemade beef stock and vegetable scraps give the dish a rich flavor and depth. The result is a hearty and satisfying meal that will leave you feeling content and nourished.

Ingredients

  • pounds beef ribs country-style
  • tablespoons vegetable oil (pork)
  • small onion yellow finely chopped
  • clove garlic minced
  • tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1.5 cups tomato sauce 
  • cup apple cider vinegar 
  • cup honey 
  • tablespoon hot sauce (I used Sriracha)
  • teaspoons ground pepper 
  • teaspoons ancho chili powder 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard dry
  • servings carrots 
  • cups beef stock homemade
  • servings water to cover, if needed

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • dutch oven

Directions

  1. Heat the fat in a 6-quart enameled Dutch oven over medium high heat and brown the ribs on all sides.
  2. Pour in the stock; add water to cover if necessary.
  3. Add the vegetable scraps and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the ribs are tender.
  4. While the ribs are braising, saute the onions over medium-low heat in a large cast iron skillet until soft; add the garlic and saute for another minute more. Stir in tomato sauce, vinegar, honey, pepper or hot sauce, cayenne pepper, chili chili powder, salt and dry mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. When the ribs are tender, remove them from the braising liquid and add them to the spicy tomato sauce in the pan. Raise the heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has glazed the ribs, about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side, if desired.
