Sticky Asian Beef Ribs
Ingredients:
For the Ribs:
• 3-4 pounds beef ribs (from Permaculture Pastures)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Sauce:
• ½ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a Paleo-friendly option)
• ⅓ cup local raw honey (from our farm—it’s the best!)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, if you like a little heat)
For Garnish:
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions:
1. Season the Ribs:
Start by patting those beautiful beef ribs dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Slow-Cook the Ribs:
Place the seasoned ribs in a slow cooker or a large roasting pan. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours (or in the oven at 275°F for the same amount of time). This slow cooking method lets the meat get tender and juicy—it’ll practically fall off the bone!
3. Make the Sauce:
While the ribs are cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
4. Coat the Ribs:
Once the ribs are done cooking, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the sticky sauce all over the ribs until they’re completely coated.
5. Broil for a Crispy Finish:
Pop the ribs under the broiler on high for 3-5 minutes, just until the sauce caramelizes and gets that sticky, golden glaze. Keep a close watch so they don’t burn!
6. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle the ribs with sesame seeds and green onions for a little pop of flavor and color. Serve them up warm with plenty of napkins—things are about to get deliciously messy!
