Description
Tender, smoky St. Louis ribs with a sweet and savory barbecue glaze, using halal-compliant ingredients. Perfect for backyard gatherings or family dinners.
Ingredients
Beef St. Louis Ribs (halal), 1–2 racks (about 3–5 lbs)
Brown Sugar, ½ cup
Smoked Paprika, ¼ cup
Garlic Powder, 2 tablespoons
Salt, 1 teaspoon
Black Pepper, ½ teaspoon
Barbecue Sauce (non-alcoholic, gluten-free if needed), ½ cup
Instructions
Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub spice mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs.
Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C) or prepare a grill for low heat.
Place ribs in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 2½–3 hours or smoke low and slow if grilling.
Uncover and brush with barbecue sauce. Return to oven/grill, uncovered, and bake/grill for 15–20 minutes until glazed and bubbly.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Beef or halal-certified lamb may be used as a substitute for pork.
For a vegetarian version, replace ribs with seitan or portobello mushrooms and omit barbecue sauce.
Use a meat thermometer; internal temperature should reach 190°F (88°C) for tender results.
Winner sauce sweeteners (e.g., brown sugar) can be swapped with date syrup for a natural alternative.
