How to Cook Beef Ribs in the Oven

Beef ribs cook well in the oven.

Cooking beef ribs sounds intimidating, but really it is not--all you need is a few things to make these ribs scream "delicious."

Things You'll Need

• Beef ribs
• Tomato paste
• Salt
• Pepper
• Honey
• Aluminum foil
• Nice big pan with a lid
• Lemon juice
• Orange juice
• Vinegar

Instructions

1. Check your ribs before you buy them. They should have more meat than fat, and the ribs should have at least eight to 10 ribs on each slab.

2. Place the ribs inside a sealed container with 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of orange juice and 1 cup of lemon juice the night before you cook them. Let them sit until your ready to cook them. This mixture will allow the meat to tenderize as well as obtain great flavor.

3. Take the beef ribs out of the mixture and place them on a clean surface. Get out your salt and pepper and generously season both sides of the beef ribs. Rub it into all the crevices you can see.

4. Empty a can of tomato paste into a bowl, add 6 spoonfuls of honey and mix well. Spread the mixture all on the ribs. Wrap beef ribs up in heavy duty aluminum foil and place inside your pan. Be sure that you have the lid on the pan. Put inside oven at 450 degrees for 45 minutes and then place on 200 degrees for three hours. Do not bother or open aluminum foil. Leave alone until done.

5. Turn off the oven and take the pan out. Place on top of the stove and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Do not take the lid off until the meat has rested. Once 30 minutes has passed, open up the aluminum foil and place ribs onto plate. Be careful--they might fall off the bone. Make side dishes, serve and enjoy.
