BBQ ribs

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 kg pork ribs (American style)
• 1  teaspoon oregano, dried
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• half a cup BBQ sauce
• salt and pepper

Method

Place ribs in a large bowl and sprinkle with oregano, then pour over the soy sauce. Mix with your hands to combine then cover and place in the fridge for at least one hour (up to 8 hours is OK).

To cook, preheat oven to 180C, take ribs out of fridge and lay them on a roasting tray ‰and make sure it will fit in the oven.

Pat the meat dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper then place in the oven for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes remove the ribs and turn the oven up to 200C. With a basting brush, brush BBQ sauce liberally all over ribs, back and front. When completely covered, place back in the oven and continue cooking for a further 25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let ribs rest for five minutes then cut in between the ribs and serve with lots of paper napkins close at hand!

Notes

• I use a Chinese BBQ sauce but you can use any type – the Chinese version is not as sweet as some of the other brands.
• Ribs taste fantastic on the Weber; they need to be cooked with the lid on if you‰ are doing them on the BBQ. Just follow the same method as above.
• We eat ribs for a family meal. I usually serve them with smashed potatoes and a healthy salad. These are always requested at family events!
