Ingredients

Dry Rub Ingredients

  • 20 g coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 15 g smoked paprika
  • 15 g mild paprika
  • 15 g cumin powder
  • 10 g salt
  • 1/2 tbsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 pinches of pimento or all spice
  • 2.5-3 kg beef short ribs - or rindless pork belly cut into large chunks

Smokey BBQ Sauce Ingredients:

  • 90 g water
  • 30 g coconut sugar - or brown sugar
  • 30 g butter
  • 120 g tomato sauce
  • 10 g tamari or coconut aminos or worcestershire sauce
  • 10 g apple cider vinegar
  • 10 g lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cacao powder or instant coffee
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • ** Please note, this recipe requires overnight marinating**
  • Add all of the rub ingredients to the mixer bowl, blend for 10 sec/speed 9/MC on or combine in a bowl if you don't have a thermal cooker.
  • Put rub mixture and meat into a large container, coat meat with mixture thoroughly.
  • Refrigerate overnight, or a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 150°C or 300°F, fanforced.
  • Arrange meat on a deep roasting tray, cover with two layers of baking paper and then a final layer of alfoil.
  • Bake in the oven for 2.5-3 hours depending on thickness of meat. You want it to be tender and falling apart.
  • With 10 minutes remaining, prepare Smokey BBQ Sauce by putting all ingredients into the mixer bowl and cooking for 5 min/steaming temp/speed 3/MC on. Bring to a gentle boil on the stove top if you don't have a thermal cooker.
  • Carefully drain off fat from the roasting tray and pour over bbq sauce. Turn oven up to 200°C or 400°F, fan forced, and bake for 15 min or until sauce is just bubbling but not over reduced.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

I used deboned short ribs. You can also use brisket etc... just adjust your cooking times appropriately, i.e. if your ribs aren't very meaty or are small, check them at the 2 hour mark.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on your ovens capacity.

  1. These are so amazing, made them for guest and it was so silent during dinner as very one was enjoying them so much. Next time I would make double amount of sauce, as some like it saucy!!

  2. Best. Pork. Ribs. EVER!

    Made this with Pork ribs instead of beef. VERY nice. Disappeared ultra quick at the BBQ I had last Saturday night, there were many 2nd helpings had!

  3. I’ve never had beef ribs before. Well they will now be a regular on the menu! These are to die for! The only issue I have with them is having to wait for the next day to eat them lol! My incredibly fussy brother also loves these! Thanks again Nik for another stellar recipe!

  4. So much flavor, so tender.. Amazing! Actually Anything by Nikalene is guaranteed to be super delicious!

  5. Such great flavours and perfectly cooked meat. Can’t wait to try it with pork belly but I will use the dry rub on chicken drumsticks or any kind of roast as its so versatile:)

  6. WOW!! So yummy. I did in the pressure cooker, as the oven just wasn’t making them tender enough (for my liking) then back in the oven with sauce… Delicious. Thanks Nik

  7. I was planning on making these tonight, but just read that they should be marinated overnight. Could I only marinate them for a few hours? Or will the flavours not be there?

    Thanks, Amanda

  8. Made this on the weekend for my brother’s birthday lunch. Thumbs up from all! Everyone loved the flavours! Another easy-peasy, fabulously delicious meal!!

  9. Oh my goodness…. incredible! Thanks so much Nik. I used pork instead of beef and cooked for 3 hrs… so much deliciousness! X

  10. Amazing! Such flavour and yet so simple. Served with beer battered fries and coleslaw. Sensational! Thank you Nik!!

  11. Wow! What a flavour!
    I used beef ribs and made bone broth with the bones. I removed all of the fat and only marinaded the meat itself as it wasn’t entirely clear from the recipe if I needed to do this. My husband was blown away, and suggested that we cook this up for guests really soon. I don’t eat a lot of beef, and never steaks or large chunks, however I really enjoyed the flavour of this dish. I used Thermobexta’s tomato ketchup in the sauce – Devine!
    Nikalene, you are a superstar! xxx

  12. Made this tonight using beef spare ribs with the bone in, marinated overnight then popped in the slow cooker for 6 hours on low before finishing off in the oven. So delicious, everyone actually it.. Even my fussy 7 year old!! Served on a cauli mash with veg. The meat was really filling and we really only needed 2-3 per adult so you could reduce the quantity of meat if not cooking for a crowd. Great recipe, thanks Nik!

  13. Another amazing recipe Nik!!! I did this with lamb shanks in the slow cooker and finished it in the oven. So easy but so delicious:) I can’t wait to see what you have next, seriously loving all these new recipes. THANKS NIK

  14. I did the ribs today in the slow cooker. They had been marinating overnight in the dry rub. 6 hours on low in the slow cooker, then 15 min in the oven with the BBQ sauce at 200C fan forced. Rich and beautiful! We had home killed beef, the meat is lovely and soft.

  15. Delicious! Absolutely delicious! I used big, meaty beef ribs. I look forward to trying it with other cuts and meats 😀

  16. Sticky with a hint of heat & lots of deliciousness! I also used rindless pork belly. Cooked & ready after 2 & 1/2 hrs on 150°.

  17. Absolutely amazing. I made this last night but used pork belly. First time cooking pork belly too. The whole family loved it even me who doesn’t like pork. Will def be making this again and again. Thank you 🙂

  18. OMG! These were absolutely delicious. Hubby & I both agreed it was the best thing I have ever cooked.
    Having never cooked ribs before, I was a little apprehensive but it was super easy. I used American style racks of ribs & cooked them all day in the slow cooker, then transferred to the oven with the bbq sauce at the end. Awesome! Thx Nik x

  19. Made these for dinner last night using pork spare ribs, this dish is absolutely amazing! The flavours are unreal! Probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Whole family wanted more, thanks so much for sharing recipe
