Sticky BBQ Lamb Ribs Ingredients:
- 4 racks of lamb ribs
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- Spur’s meat spice to taste (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ginger & garlic paste
- ¼ bunch thyme
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- dried parsley for garnishing
Method:
- Rinse & place the lamb ribs onto a board.
- Add salt, ground black pepper, Spur’s meat spice & ginger & garlic paste onto the ribs. Rub in coating both sides.
- At this point, preheat the oven to 120° Celsius or 250° Fahrenheit.
- Next, heat the vegetable oil in a pan or skillet. Once the oil is hot, place in the seasoned ribs & the thyme.
- Fry the lamb ribs until it gets a golden charred coating. This step is important in order to get great looking ribs. If this step is skipped, then the end result of your ribs will have a grey look instead of that golden irresistible look.
- Once it’s golden on both sides, remove from heat.
- Place a sheet of foil on an oven tray & thereafter, place the fried ribs over.
- Using the same foil, wrap the ribs, securing it with no openings.
- Place into the preheated oven for 1 ½ hours. Do not remove the foil, leave it to cook untouched. Once done, the meat should be soft & tender.
- Carefully remove the foil & place the ribs directly onto the tray.
- Next, get out the BBQ sauce with a basting brush.
- Brush a thick layer of BBQ sauce onto the ribs.
- Flip the ribs over & brush the other side with sauce as well.
- Place into the oven for 10 minutes & remove.
- Brush both sides once more with the BBQ sauce.
- Place into the oven for another 10 minutes & remove. Notice how the sauce becomes one with the lamb ribs.
- Garnish with some dried parsley.
- Serve with chips (fries) & of course more BBQ sauce.
- Enjoy whilst hot.
