Greek Style Beef Ribs

A bright and tangy marinade lends lots of fresh flavor to these rich beef ribs. Addition of fresh garlic and herbs just before cooking provides another blast of flavor to this delicious Greek-inspired dish. Slow cook them until they are fall-off-the-bone tender and then blast them with high heat from a broiler or grill for that caramelized finish.

Ingredients

  • 12 beef spare ribs

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice fresh, about 4 lemons
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 6 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 8 leaves fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano dried, or 1/2 teaspoon fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon rosemary dried, or 1/2 teaspoon fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme dried, or 1/2 teaspoon fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
  • 1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves

Herb Rub

  • 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos (you need enough to just coat meat and leave a shallow coating on the bottom of the pan)
  • 6 garlic cloves minced, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons red wine optional
  • 2 tablespoons oregano fresh
  • 4 tablespoons rosemary roughly chopped, fresh
  • black pepper fresh ground, to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the rib racks in half for ease of handling and place into a large baking dish. Cover with marinade, if using and marinate for 4 hours and up to overnight, refrigerated.
  • Preheat oven to 250ºF.
  • Pour off the marinade, if you used it and place the ribs back into the baking pan. Add sprinkle with soy, wine, and then the remaining herbs and garlic. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake covered for 2 hours and 30 minutes, or until completely tender.
  • To finish the ribs, you will want to caramelize the outside with bit of high heat. You have two options for this. Preheat either your oven’s broiler or a grill to high heat. Broil or cook over high heat on the grill for 5-8 minutes, or until you have a deep golden crust. Serve immediately.
