Ingredients
- spareribs
- mustard
- honey
- soy sauce
- garlic
- black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the spareribs by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs using a sharp knife, pulling it off in one piece.
- In a mixing bowl, create the mustard sauce by combining mustard, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk the ingredients until well blended and smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). This low and slow cooking method will help tenderize the spareribs.
- Place the spareribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down. If desired, season with additional black pepper.
- Cover the baking sheet tightly with another sheet of aluminum foil to create a sealed packet, which will help keep the ribs moist during cooking.
- Bake the spareribs in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.
- During the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and generously brush the ribs with the prepared mustard sauce.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the final few minutes to caramelize the sauce and create a slightly crispy exterior.
- Remove the spareribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting between the bones.
- Serve hot, with extra mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Always remove the tough membrane from the back of the ribs for maximum tenderness and better sauce absorption.
- Use a low and slow cooking method (275°F) to ensure the meat becomes incredibly tender and falls off the bone.
- Create a tight foil packet while baking to lock in moisture and prevent the ribs from drying out.
- For an extra flavor boost, let the spareribs marinate in the mustard sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- When brushing the sauce during the final cooking stage, apply multiple thin layers for a more complex and caramelized finish.
- Allow the ribs to rest after cooking to help redistribute the juices and maintain maximum flavor and moisture.
- Pair these spareribs with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal experience.
