Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork ribs (about 4-5 pounds)
- 1 cup horseradish sauce
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the horseradish sauce, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well until the ingredients are fully integrated.
- Marinate the Ribs:
- Season the ribs with salt and pepper, then place them in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Bake the Ribs:
- Remove the ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover with another layer of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bone.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- While the ribs are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Allow the glaze to thicken slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Grill the Ribs:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the ribs from the oven and brush them generously with the thickened glaze.
- Place the ribs on the grill and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, turning frequently and basting with more glaze, until the ribs are caramelized and have a nice char.
- Serve:
- Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual portions. Serve hot with any remaining glaze on the side.
Enjoy these succulent Sweet Horseradish Glazed Ribs as a delightful main dish, perfect for any occasion!
