Barbecued Beef Ribs
10 to 15 beef ribs (they come in slabs – I cut them apart)
¼ to ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion – chopped
2 Tablespoons light olive oil
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup catsup
¼ to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 Tablespoon mustard
½ cup chopped celery
1/3 cup hot pepper jelly – optional (I like some zing in my food)
2 Tablespoons vinegar
¼ cup lemon juice
½ cup water
Place ribs on broiler pan, baste with Worcestershire sauce. Broil each side just until browned – basting each time you turn.
Place in a large baking dish. In a frying pan, brown onion in olive oil; add remaining ingredients and cook slowly until flavors are blended – about 15 minutes.
Pour over ribs.
Cover and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Turn ribs every 20 minutes. Remove cover and place under broiler just long enough to get a sear on the ribs – turning once. Serve.
I was in a weird mood today and served them with strawberries and sweet potatoes. Not traditional rib side dishes, but it was what I felt like eating.
