Fall-off-the-bone Baby Back Ribs in Oven
Description
The Fall-off-the-bone Baby Back Ribs in Oven recipe begins by layering garlic and onions in a roasting pan, creating a flavorful base. The ribs are seasoned simply with muscovado sugar, salt, and black pepper, then marinated with soy sauce and beer to deepen the taste and help tenderize. Covered tightly with foil, the ribs slow-bake at a moderate temperature for two hours, allowing the meat to become tender and juicy. Afterward, the ribs are transferred to a grill rack and brushed with a homemade barbecue sauce composed of reserved pan juices, brown sugar, spices, and thickened with cornstarch. Grilled briefly on both sides, the ribs develop a caramelized exterior that contrasts with their soft interior.
This dish works well as a hearty main course for a weekend meal or barbecue gathering. The sticky, sweet-savory barbecue sauce pairs well with simple side dishes such as coleslaw, corn on the cob, or roasted vegetables. Grilling at the end adds a subtle smokiness and texture variation to the tender meat.

Instructions
- Spread garlic and onions at the base of a roasting pan.
- Rub each baby back ribs rack with salt, sugar and ground pepper. Place the ribs on top of the garlic and onion slices, bone side down. Drizzle the ribs with soy sauce and pour beer over the ribs.

TO MAKE BARBECUE SAUCE
- Skim some of the fat from the sauce that is left on the roasting pan from baking the ribs, leaving about 2 tablespoons of fat.
- Pour the rest of the sauce through a sieve into a bowl. Press the solids through the sieve until completely mashed. Scrape the bottom of the sieve to take the remaining mashed onion and garlic and add this to the sauce.
- Add brown sugar, ground pepper, paprika powder, and hot chili powder. Transfer sauce to a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water and pour into the sauce, cook while constantly stirring until it thickens. Transfer sauce to a bowl or a jar.
