Description:
These Cola Ribs are a surefire way to satisfy even the pickiest of rib connoisseurs! Bursting with flavor and fall-off-the-bone tender, they’re perfect for any occasion. Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand!
Ingredients:
- 2 onions
- 3 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 racks of pork ribs
Instructions:
-
Prep the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
-
Marinate the Ribs: Rub the marinade mixture onto the pork rib pieces, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Layer in Dutch Oven: Preheat your oven to 250Β°F (120Β°C). Layer the marinated ribs and sliced onions in a Dutch oven, arranging them evenly.
-
Add the Cola: Pour the cola over the ribs and onions in the Dutch oven, ensuring they’re fully submerged. The cola will add a hint of sweetness and help tenderize the meat during cooking.
-
Bake: Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the ribs at 250Β°F (120Β°C) for 4 hours, allowing them to cook low and slow until tender and flavorful.
-
Drain and Sauce: After 4 hours of baking, carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and pour off the cola juices. Then, generously coat the ribs with barbecue sauce, ensuring they’re fully covered.
-
Final Bake: Cover the Dutch oven again and return it to the oven for an additional 1 hour. This final bake allows the barbecue sauce to caramelize and infuse into the ribs, creating a sticky, finger-licking glaze.
-
Serve: Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, serve them hot, alongside your favorite sides, and don’t forget those extra napkins!
