Ingredients

  • 6 pounds pork ribs, silver skin removed and rack cut into individual pieces*
  • 1 1/2 cups broth (any kind will do - beef, chicken, vegetable)
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • Layer ribs on a rimmed baking sheet. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, mustard, and onion. Whisk until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Remove ribs from oven and remove the foil. Increase the heat to 350 degrees.
  • Pour the sauce over the ribs and place the foil back on the baking sheet. Return to oven and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and discard the foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and turn each rib over. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Repeat two more times.
  • Garnish and serve - perfect with steamed rice! It's a great way to use up the extra sauce!

Notes

* about two racks of ribs, or 20 - 22 ribs
