01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spread some flour out in a shallow dish, then lightly coat the ribs by dredging them in the flour. Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the ribs on all sides—it should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once they’re nicely browned, transfer the ribs to a casserole dish.

Step 2
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until it turns translucent, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and a pinch of salt until everything comes together into a smooth sauce. Add water and heat the mixture through.

Step 3
Pour this sauce over the ribs, then cover the dish with foil. Pop it in the oven and cook for about 90 minutes, making sure to spoon the sauce over the ribs every now and then. After that, flip the ribs over, baste again, and keep cooking for another 90 minutes or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Why you’ll love it
These ribs are packed with rich, smoky flavors that melt in your mouth. The combination of spices and slow cooking makes the meat tender and juicy every time. It’s a perfect dish for gatherings or a special family dinner.
How to serve
Serve with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or cornbread. A fresh green salad or grilled vegetables also complement the smoky taste well. Don’t forget extra sauce for dipping!
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in the oven or microwave to keep the meat moist. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
