5 SPICE BBQ BUFFALO RIBS
AUTHOR:
Jill O’Brien

This recipe was inspired by Dr. Mark Hyman. I stayed true to the seasonings but modified the technique from baking to braising, as it has been my experience that baking true 100% grass-fed/grass-finished meats does not work. Braising is required to break down the connective tissues for a fall-off-the-bone tenderness. The results were delicious! This recipe may look long and complicated, but it is super easy! You can find Dr. Hyman’s recipe here. Note: If using Back Ribs, reduce cooking time to one hour.

INGREDIENTS

INGREDIENTS FOR RIBS:
3 – pounds Buffalo Short Ribs or 2 packages Back Ribs
1½ – teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
¾ – teaspoon ground ginger
1½ – teaspoons garlic powder
1½ – teaspoons onion powder
½ – teaspoon sea salt
2 – cups Buffalo Broth or organic beef or chicken broth, heated

INGREDIENTS FOR ROASTED CARROTS & ONIONS:
8 – carrots, peeled and split lengthwise
2 – onions, peeled and cut into wedges
olive oil
salt and pepper

INGREDIENTS FOR BBQ SAUCE:
½ – cup unsweetened, unsalted tomato paste
¼ – teaspoon all-natural liquid smoke (optional)
1 – teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice
½ – teaspoon garlic powder
½ – teaspoon onion powder
2 – tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari

DIRECTIONS
5 SPICE BBQ BUFFALO RIBS
1 – Rinse the ribs and pat them dry. Place the ribs in a pan, spacing them apart.
2 – Combine all of the rib spices in a bowl.
3 – Rub all the spices into the meat. Cover and allow the ribs to rest for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
4 – Preheat the oven to 350°.
5 – Bake the ribs, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
6 – Add the hot broth and cover with foil. Continue to cook/braise for 1½ hours. Check meat for tenderness; if it is not to your desired tenderness, continue to braise for another 20 minutes or until preferred tenderness is reached.
7 – Place the carrots and onions on a baking sheet, drizzle generously with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Add the pan to the oven after the ribs have cooked for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
8 – While the ribs and vegetables are cooking, mix all of the BBQ sauce ingredients together.
9 – Remove the braised ribs and roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer the ribs to the baking sheet with the roasted vegetables.
10 – Drain juices from the braising pan and add ½ to 1 cup of the reserved pan juices to the sauce.
11 – Turn the oven to broil and place a rack on second shelf from the top.
12 – Mop the ribs with the sauce and place in the oven. Broil until the sauce starts to bubble a bit, about 4 minutes. Turn the ribs and repeat mopping and broiling.
REMOVE FROM THE OVEN AND SERVE. YOU WILL LOVE THIS!
