Asado Beef Ribs

Asado ribs aren’t just for the BBQ.  This oven-baked Asado ribs recipe is a great option when you want that rich, smokey flavour without firing up the BBQ.  Very simple to prepare and slow-cooked for just 3 hours so are perfect for those days when you make it home a little earlier from work. You’ll have tender, juicy ribs with a beautifully caramelised crust that tastes like you’ve been tending a fire all day. You can easily customise the spice mix to suit your taste—whether you like a little heat, a hint of sweetness, or something more traditional. Just pop them in the oven, and let the slow cooking do the rest. These Asado-style ribs are perfect for impressing your family mid-week or a weekend entertaining friends.
