Boneless Beef Ribs Recipe: Tender, Juicy & Easy to Make Every Time
Make the best boneless beef ribs recipe with this easy step-by-step guide. Learn how to cook them tender, juicy, and packed with flavor every time.
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg boneless beef ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion sliced
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- Flavor Builders:
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Prep the Meat
- Pat the ribs completely dry using paper towels—Moisture blocks browning, and browning builds flavor. Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, pressing the spices into the meat so they actually stick.
2. Sear for Flavor
- Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan until it shimmers. Place the ribs in carefully—no overcrowding—and let them sear undisturbed until a deep brown crust forms on each side.
3. Build the Base
- Remove the ribs and lower the heat slightly. Add sliced onions and crushed garlic into the same pan. Stir gently as they soften and release their aroma.
4. Deglaze and Combine
- Pour in the beef broth and add tomato paste. Stir well, scraping up all those caramelized bits from the bottom. Return the ribs to the pan, nestling them into the liquid.
5. Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F). Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 hours.
6. Finish Strong
- Remove the lid during the final 15 minutes of cooking. This allows the sauce to thicken and intensify.
