Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs beef country style ribs
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Sauce:
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
 

Step 1 Prep the Ribs

  • Pat the beef country style ribs dry. Rub generously with seasoning. (Here’s the truth: dry meat won’t brown properly.)

Step 2 Sear for Flavor

  • Heat a skillet, drizzle oil, and sear ribs until golden. Don’t crowd the pan—let them breathe.

Step 3 Bake or Slow Cook

  • Transfer to a baking dish, cover, and cook low and slow until fork-tender. Expect around 90 minutes.

Step 4 Glaze & Finish

  • Brush with BBQ sauce and return uncovered for a sticky, glossy finish. Watch closely; the sauce can burn fast.
