Slow Cooked, Caramelized Beef Spare Ribs

1–2 minutes
So simple, you won’t believe it!
So what makes the perfect, melt in your mouth, fall of the bone, beef spare ribs?
Rule #1: Simplicity is the key.
Rule #2: Cook with tenderness and love, and give it time.. lots of time.
Rule #3: Always taste before you serve.
With all this in mind, here is an easy recipe for the softest, most tender beef spare ribs you will ever taste – right from your own kitchen. It’s not rocket science. Simple flavors can sometimes be the best flavors, and the longer you cook meat in a pot, the more tender it will be.
Ingredients:
1kg beef spare ribs
3 cups of water
5 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/2 cup of tomato sauce
2 tbsp sugar
Method:
  • In a large pot, boil the water, beef ribs, and soy sauce for approx. 1 hour. Keep the lid closed at medium heat.
  • Add tomato sauce and sugar into the pot and simmer for another 2 hours at low heat.
Work in progress… this is what the pot looks like after 2 hours. Another hour (or more, it’s up to you) and the meat will eventually start to fall off the bone and sauce thickens to a darker color:

Serve ribs with fried rice / chips and salad.
