Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
Tips For Better Flavor
- Cook low and slow for tender meat that falls off the bone.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 190°F to 203°F.
Step 1
Place the ribs in a large pot and covering them with water. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium and let the ribs simmer gently for about an hour, until they’re nice and tender. While the ribs are cooking, mix together the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and liquid smoke in a saucepan. Heat the sauce over medium-high until it starts to simmer, then turn the heat down to medium-low and let it cook uncovered, stirring often, until it thickens up nicely—this should take around 30 minutes.
Step 2
Once the ribs are done, preheat your oven’s broiler and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Drain the ribs and lay them on the sheet with the meaty side facing up. Generously brush half of the barbecue sauce over the ribs, then pop them under the broiler. Keep an eye on them as you broil for about 7 minutes, until the sauce gets sticky and starts to brown a little.
Step 3
Flip the ribs over and slather on the rest of the sauce. Broil for another 7 minutes or so, until that side is just as sticky and caramelized. Once they’re done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before digging in.
