Instructions
1
In a large pot, add the beef ribs and enough cold water to fully submerge them. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let the ribs rest in the hot water for 30 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced green onions and sauté until they become soft, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3
Add the tomato sauce, cider vinegar, treacle, peanut butter, soy sauce, and Thai sweet chili sauce to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Once finished, remove from heat and set aside 1 cup of the sauce for serving.
4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a shallow baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
5
Arrange the drained ribs in the prepared dish. Generously brush both sides of the ribs with the prepared sauce.
6
Cover the ribs with additional aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven, brushing with more sauce and turning the ribs every 20 minutes until the meat is tender and cooked through, approximately 1 hour.
7
Once cooked, transfer the ribs to a serving platter. Serve hot with the reserved heated sauce for an extra flavor boost. Enjoy!
