They’re slow-cooked to perfection in a heavenly combination of beer, white wine, and a medley of spices to create the ultimate indulgence for meat lovers. 

When buying beef ribs, there are a few key things you need to look for:

1. Choose beef ribs from a reputable source, like us at Pendle Hill Meat Market! We are one of Australia’s largest meat markets.
2. Look for beef ribs that have a good amount of fat marbling throughout the meat to enhance the flavour and tenderness of the beef ribs. Although avoid ribs with excessive amounts of fat on the exterior.
3. Opt for beef ribs with thicker cuts, as they tend to be more substantial and meaty.
4. And finally, check for a vibrant red colour to indicate quality and freshness! Avoid beef ribs with discolouration or strong odour.

Prep Time: 10 minutes (Please allow 3 to 48 hours for the ribs to marinate in the spice blend - the longer the better!)

Ingredients you’ll need to gather: 

• 1 rack of beef ribs (approx 3kg)
• 1 tbsp cumin, toasted & ground
• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 1 tbsp coriander, toasted & ground
• 1 cup beer
• 2 cups white wine
• 1 tbsp chilli, dried (or to taste) 
• 1 tab hot chilli, (bonnet) chopped (optional) 
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika

How to cook our Texan Spicy Beef Ribs recipe, method:

1. Prepare the beef ribs - Using a sharp knife, score the beef ribs about 2cm apart and place them into a large baking tray. Scoring the surface of the beef ribs is an important step to create more surface area for the rub to penetrate deeper into the meet, and also promotes even cooking time.
2. Prepare the marinade - Mix together the cumin, grated ginger, coriander, chilli, smoked paprika, garlic, brown sugar, thyme, Tabasco sauce, honey and bay leaves in a seperate bowl to create the delicious rub.
3. Season with a twist - Salt and pepper both sides of the beef ribs, rubbing the salt into the grooves. Repeat the process with the marinade, generously coating the ribs.
4. Let the magic happen - Allow the beef ribs to marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, or for more intense flavours, marinate them for up to 48 hours.
5. Slow and steady - Preheat the oven to 150ºC and turn the beef ribs upside down on a large tray. Add the beer, wine and onions and cover with a lid or foil, then place them in the oven and cook for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
6. Flip and baste - Turn the beef ribs over and baste them with the juices in the cooking tray. Increase the oven temperature to 200ºC and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the ribs caramelise.
7. Let it rest - Once cooked, remove the beef ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before plating up your mouthwatering Texan spicy beef ribs! Serve with your favourite side for a complete meal.

Note: Remember to adjust the cooking time and temperatures based on the size and thickness of the beef ribs and your oven.
