A couple days ago, I cooked this beef ribs and combine them with some ready made sauce. The end result was just finger licking tasty! My husband and I had them with some sliced cucumber as a salad... I know I was just being lazy :) Not surprisingly, my little man loves this dish too minus the cucumber but he had it with some fresh tomatoes.
The beauty of this dish is we don't need to be constantly in front of the stove. We can just leave it to work itself and we can do other things... Anyway, let's jump to the recipe. Who knows you'll get some inspirations from it.
10 pieces of beef ribs -> one day ahead, simmer for 2 hours with onion, garlic, peppercorn, star anise and nutmeg plus some sprinkle of salt
Cheat glazing:
1 part of Chinese style plum sauce
1 part of BBQ sauce
Marinade the cooked beef ribs and store them in the fridge for the next day.
The next day, turn on the oven and set to 180deg C. Then, prepare the baking tray by lining an aluminium foil then topped with baking paper. Put the cold ribs on the tray and place the tray in the oven. I put the bone side at the bottom.
Baste the ribs with the sauce after 10 minutes in the oven. Return to the oven. Let it further cook for another 20 minutes. Baste again. Turn the tray to the other side of the oven. I mean the side that was right inside, now is at the door side. Cook for another 15-20 minutes.
The left over can be cut into cubes, reheated on the pan. Put a bit more BBQ sauce and mixed with some vegetables. And there you go, it becomes fresh delicious salad :) Oh... and the broth can be used to make Pho in a hurry too. Just add some chicken stock powder, salt, sugar, ground pepper and fish sauce.
