I am making beef spareribs. I do not have a grill, so I am going to bake them.?!
Answers: I have worcester sauce, barq sauce, salt, and meat seasoning. I have a large foil pan. How do I cook these. I heard I have to add some water in the pan and cover them. What else? How long? Etc Thanks
Better than water, would be beer, red wine, or consomme.
Also add some cloves of garlic, & any other spices you like.
Marinate the meat in this, in the frig, for up to 24 hours.
Bake in a 350F oven for 45 minutes, basting with marinade.
All the recipes I've seen (other than the one I use) starts with cooking the spareribs without seasoning in a pan, sealed, in the oven. Then when the meat is tender, THEN the sauce is added. The recipe I have for pork spareribs calls for adding the sauce at the beginning, covered, and the sauce thickens as the spareribs cook, making them nice and fall-off-the-bone soft. I generally buy the Country Spare Ribs - boneless so there is nothing to waste.
If you go to Google.com and type in "recipe for spareribs", it'l tell you the generic way to cook them. The how long depends on how many and the weight of them but the site may tell you that too, as well as the temperature.
Cook in a very low oven for 3-4 hours. As low as your oven gets. I usually smoke my ribs in a water smoker. This is basically cooking the ribs under moist heat for 5+ hours at 175 f. Since most ovens can't go as low as 175, you will need to reduce the time down to the 3-4 hours I indicated above.
Set the Barbeque sauce aside for use when they are done cooking...
Rub them in Olive Oil mixed with the Worcester Sauce, then rub the meat seasoning on them (be careful if you use additional salt, most meat seasonings are already loaded with salt).
I would not bother putting water in the pan. Beef ribs have a lot of fat on them and that will keep the moist.
Put them in the oven and cook them as long and low as you can manage. The longer and lower (temperature) you can cook them the better. Beef ribs need to slow cook for a long time to be tender. 8-10-12 hours at about 180-200 degrees is great!!
Happy Meating!!
get a rack...the kind that you can cool cakes/cookies on, place in pan with a couple of inches of water on the bottom. place ribs on rack, bone side down and cover pan tightly with foil. bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. drop temp to 350 degrees and bake 1 1/2 - 2 hours more.
beef ribs are tough, so it is good to marinate them at least an hour, if not more. pierce meat to let seasonings penetrate during marinade.
*add more water to pan during cooking if necessary, it helps to steam the meat and keep it moist. before basting ribs with sauce, remove rack and any excess water and drippings. baste ribs, cover and let sauce settle on meat. good luck.
