Instructions
1
Prepare the ribs by first choosing your meat: for pork ribs, place them in a large stock pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, skimming off any foam, until the ribs are fork-tender. Once done, remove the ribs and reserve the stock for other uses like soups.
2
For beef ribs, place the slabs in a single layer on a broiler pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes, then turn the ribs and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
3
Make the barbecue sauce by heating canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper, sautéing until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
4
Stir in the ketchup, water, brown sugar, salt, pepper, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, strained peach baby food, and a dash of Tabasco sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
5
Preheat your broiler setting. Arrange the prepared ribs, concave side down, on the broiler pan. Generously brush or spoon the barbecue sauce over the ribs, then broil for 8-10 minutes until the sauce begins to caramelize.
6
Carefully flip the ribs over, pouring the remaining sauce on top. Broil for another 8-10 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
7
Once cooked to a perfect glaze, slice the ribs between the bones and garnish with thinly sliced lemon for an added zesty touch. Serve immediately, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
