Description
This Glazed Spareribs recipe features tender pork spare ribs simmered to perfection and finished on the grill with a rich, sweet, and tangy glaze made from ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and sautéed onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 rack pork spare ribs, 2-3 lbs
- ¼ cup onion, diced
- ½ Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 ¾ cup ketchup
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 dry bay leaf, halved
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the spare ribs, reduce heat to medium, and let them simmer gently for 20-25 minutes to tenderize the meat. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- To the sautéed onions, add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and the halved dry bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, stirring often. Remove and discard the bay leaf before using.
- Place the ribs on a plate and pour about half of the glaze over them. Use a basting brush to spread the sauce evenly on both sides of the ribs.
- Preheat your grill and cook the ribs for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. During grilling, baste frequently with a clean basting brush, applying the remaining glaze near the end of cooking to build up a sticky, flavorful coating.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and serve hot with your favorite loaded baked potato or coleslaw for a classic barbecue meal.
Notes
- These ribs pair well with classic sides like loaded baked potatoes or coleslaw.
