Awesome Ribs For Lamb Or Beef

Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 1/2 lbs of meaty lamb ribs or 4 1/2 lbs beef ribs
• 2 medium yellow onions, sliced thickly (1/3 of an inch)
• 1 to 2 lemon, juice of, only
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt (i use only 1/2 teaspoon)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 1/3 cup worcestershire sauce

Recipe

• 1 cut ribs into individual ribs, and place all the pieces in large roasting pan.
• 2 scatter the thickly sliced onions over the ribs.
• 3 sprinkle lemon juice over the ribs.
• 4 bake for one hour in an oven that has been pre-heated to 350 degrees.
• 5 pour off all the fat and juice that has accumulated.
• 6 in the meantime, make the sauce.
• 7 to make the sauce, combine the last five ingredients in a saucepan, and cook (boil) for 20-25 minutes. stir frequently. you want the sauce to cook down and thicken up.
• 8 dip cooked ribs into the sauce, and place in roasting pan. it's best if you make a single layer of ribs at this stage so, if necessary, use more than one pan.
• 9 dip cooked onions into sauce, and scatter over ribs.
• 10 at this stage, you can refrigerate the concoction (covered with cling wrap) for a day or two -- so the flavours can really meld.
• 11 cook ribs a second time—for 30-60 minutes—in an oven that has been pre-heated to 325°f if you have refrigerated the concoction, take out of the fridge at least two hours before the second cooking. thanks to heystopthatnow for alerting me to the fact that i had omitted a cooking time for this step.
• 12 before the second cooking, baste the ribs. then baste them again every 10 minutes. you want the ribs to be saucy.
• 13 serve with corn cobs, baked potatoes and salad. garlic bread is nice, too.
