Smoky sticky beef ribs
Print is recipe
Ribs are such a great share food when having drinks out with friends but I never realised just how easy they are to make yourself at home. The tender falling-off-the-bone beef with a sweet, smokey sticky sauce gets my mouth watering every time and definitely a dish you’ll love to share with the kids (with a few rolls of paper towel on hand).
In this segment of My Market Kitchen Emma starts off by simmering the ribs in salted water to begin the cooking process and start to tenderise the meat. After a couple of hours of mild cooking she whips up a super easy rib glaze starting with everyone’s favourite and a staple in most pantries (definitely mine), tomato sauce. She adds in some Smoked Paprika and Dried Ancho Chillies; a great way to add a deep smokey flavour quickly and easily without a smoker. As the Ancho Chillies don’t have a great amount of heat, she adds a dash of Cayenne Pepper for a little kick. These spices are all mild in heat so safe for kiddies pallets.
Once the meat is glazed, simply place in the oven for another hour and wait for the aromas of a Texan BBQ to fill your house. These ribs are succulent, juicy and finger-lickin good!

Mustard powder has a mild and slight sweet flavour and pungent aroma. The powder can be mixed with water to form a mustard paste to flavour bbq meats. It releases an earthy aroma when cooked and a savoury and tangy taste. Yellow powder is commonly used in the Western cuisine. It is key ingredient in the Indian blend Panch Phora.
