Place the ribs in a large container or a zip-top bag and pour the sauce over them. Make sure they’re fully coated. It’s best to marinate them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but if you can leave them overnight, the flavor will be even more intense.
3. Slow Cooking
After marinating, remove the ribs from the container and reserve the sauce. Place the ribs in a skillet or pot and add a little water or broth. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 40–50 minutes, turning them occasionally. This ensures the meat becomes tender and juicy.
4. Glazing and Browning
Once the ribs are tender, transfer them to a preheated oven at 200 °C (390 °F) and bake for 10–15 minutes. While baking, brush them with the reserved sauce so they caramelize and develop a beautiful shine. Alternatively, you can brown them in a pan with the sauce for a few minutes until golden and crisp.
