Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Ribs:
2 lbs pork ribs (baby back or St. Louis style)

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

For the Honey Garlic Glaze:
⅓ cup honey

¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for GF)

3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tbsp garlic paste)

1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

1 tsp sriracha (optional for heat)

1 tbsp butter (for shine & richness)

(Garnish: sesame seeds & green onions)

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Ribs
Remove membrane (key for tender ribs!) – Slide a knife under the membrane on the bone side, then pull it off with a paper towel.

Pat dry – Helps the rub stick better.

2. Season & Slow Cook
Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Rub all over ribs.

Wrap in foil – Place ribs meat-side down on foil, then wrap tightly into a packet.

Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 2.5-3 hours (until fork-tender).

3. Make the Glaze
While ribs cook:

Simmer honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and sriracha for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Stir in butter until melted.

4. Glaze & Caramelize
Unwrap ribs – Drain any juices, then brush with glaze.

Broil 3-5 minutes until bubbly and sticky (watch closely!)
