Hops ‘n’ Honey barbequed beef ribs. This is my sticky sweet recipe for Hops 'n' Honey barbequed beef ribs.

Ingredients

  • ⁣a whole Jacob’s ladder of beef ribs
  • Spice rub:
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ⁣1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
  • ⁣1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⁣1 teaspoon Muscovado sugar
  • ⁣1/3 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ⁣a liberal sprinkling salt and pepper
  • Beer & bourbon BBQ sauce:
  • 1 red onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin - ground
  • 2 teaspoons coriander - ground

Method

⁣· Rub the spice mix all over a whole
Jacob’s ladder of beef ribs and leave to marinade overnight.
· Place the marinated ribs in roasting
tray with a cup of water and cook at 160 degrees for 3 hours.
· Finish cooking the ribs on the BBQ for
1 hour. Off-set the wood so the heat is not direct and cook over a fruit wood
like cherry or apple for a more subtle flavour.
· While the meat is barbecuing, prepare
the BBQ sauce. Sweat down onions and garlic until soft and sweet.
Add spices -
fry for a few more minutes. Add the beer (reduce by 2/3rds) then add the other
ingredients and simmer for about an hour and a half. Blend.
· Serve over the top of your beef ribs!
