OVEN ROASTED BEEF RIBS WITH CARIBBEAN PEACH GLAZE

CRUNCHY, SWEET, QUICK
Beef ribs may not be as tender or as meaty as pork ribs, but they are usually the ones on sale. This is a recipe that is quick, and it leaves a nice sweet, crunchy layer over the top of the ribs.

I was inspired by the BBQ Beef Ribs Recipe I found at, http://southernfood.about.com/od/beefrecipes/r/bl30414h.htm. Since I didn't have all of the ingredients, this is what I came up with. It was excellent, and a sure way to make great use of those beef ribs on sale. If you are nervous about making ribs, have no fear. This is a very easy and stress-free preparation.

Yield: 4 small servings, 2 big servings

2 pounds Beef Ribs, separated

1/4 Cup Peach Preserves

1/2 Cup Water

1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

2Tbsp Caribbean Jerk or Hawaiian Marinade (Your favorite Marinade or any BBQ Sauce is fine too)

1 tsp Honey Dijon Mustard

Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Heat oven to 450○

1. Roast ribs in a greased shallow baking pan for 30 min.

2. While ribs are roasting combine the rest of the ingredients in a sauce pan, cook over medium-high heat stirring constantly. Let it come to a boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Some of the liquid will begin to evaporate off, and the sauce will thicken. Set aside.

3. After the ribs have roasted for 30 minutes at 450○, remove them from the oven, and cool the oven down to 350○ (I leave the oven door slightly ajar when I turn down the temp. to speed up the process).

4. Pour the sauce over the ribs, and place in the oven for 45 - 60 min., or until the meat is tender.

Turn the ribs, and Baste or Spoon the glaze that is in the bottom of the pan over the ribs about every 15 min. during cooking time.
