Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients

For the Ribs

  • 4 pounds beef ribs choose bone-in for maximum flavor and tenderness
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil ideal for searing and enhancing richness

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup tomato sauce provides a sweet and tangy base
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce adds smoky heat
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika enriches flavor with warmth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder adds subtle sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon salt essential for balancing flavors

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the beef ribs on all sides for about 4-5 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Remove the ribs and in the same pot, add tomato sauce, chipotle in adobo, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  • Return the seared beef ribs to the pot and coat them well with the sauce.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours until fork-tender.
  • Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve with sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

Choose well-marbled, bone-in beef ribs for the best flavor and tenderness. Don’t skip the searing step to lock in juices and create depth of flavor.
