The homemade recipe for perfect ribs

(But not as crazy as at home)

Fancy trying your hand at the art of homemade ribs? Come on, we’ll share with you our secret recipe (well, almost…)

Ingredients :

  • 2 kg pork ribs
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 180 ml ketchup
  • 60 ml cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • A few drops of Tabasco (to taste)
1. Preparation of the ribs

Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender meat.
Rub them with a mixture of brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, mustard, onion powder, salt and pepper. Wrap in cling film and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight).

2. Baking

Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours until the meat is tender.

3. Homemade barbecue sauce

While the ribs are cooking, mix the ketchup, cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco in a saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. Grill finish

Remove the ribs from the oven, increase the temperature to 220°C and place them under the broiler.
Spread them generously with your homemade barbecue sauce and let them caramelize for a few minutes.

5. Tasting

Serve the ribs piping hot, accompanied by home fries, coleslaw or grilled vegetables.

But be careful…

Be warned: even with this great recipe you won’t be able to recreate the festive atmosphere, the flamenco music and the unique conviviality that you’ll find at Costillas Locas.
