Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Water |
| 2 cups | Ketchup |
| 3 cups | Tomato sauce |
| 2 cups | White vinegar |
| 1/4 cup | Lemon juice |
| 9 tbsp | Worcestershire sauce |
| 2 | Onions, finely chopped |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 6 | Fresh ground black pepper |
| 1/2 cup | Maple syrup |
Instructions:
-
In a large non-metal bowl, combine all the ingredients except the ribs and black pepper.
-
-
Blend the marinade well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.
-
Place the caribou ribs in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate overnight in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for slow roasting.
-
Remove the marinated ribs from the bowl, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
-
Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with freshly ground black pepper for an added kick of flavor.
-
Arrange the ribs in a double layer in a 5-quart roasting pan, ensuring they fit snugly but are not overcrowded.
-
Roast the ribs in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, allowing them to cook slowly and develop rich flavors.
-
After 1 hour, carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and pour the maple barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are generously coated.
-
Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking the ribs for an additional 1 1/2 hours, or until they begin to char slightly on the top.
-
Halfway through the final cooking time, turn the ribs over in the pan to ensure they cook evenly and are coated in the thickened barbecue sauce.
-
Once the ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove them from the oven.
-
To serve, transfer the Maple Barbecued Caribou Ribs to a large serving platter, arranging them attractively for presentation.
-
Serve any remaining sauce in a gravy boat on the side, allowing guests to drizzle extra sauce over their ribs as desired.
