RECIPE


Serves: 3-4 people

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 8 hr 15 min


Ingredients

There are no measurements to this, as I always throw this together and it’s all by taste of what I like. I'm giving you free reign here! Let your taste buds help you create this delicious dish!

2 slab Beef back ribs (I use about 5#)

Hoisin Sauce (Lee Kum Kee is my preference)

Kimlan Chili Soy Paste (Hot)

Sake (Don’t make it boozey)

Sugar (enough to balance out the saltiness)

Ketchup (Heinz 57 is my preference) I like the tang that comes from the ketchup

Garlic Powder or granulated (I like a lot of the garlic powder - use per your preference)

8 oz jar - Lilikoi jelly or guava jelly

Directions

You will need a large crockpot for this recipe. We are cooking it LOW AND SLOW!

Cut ribs down to 2 bones per section, you may have some singles, set aside in the crock pot.

In a large bowl, add all of the other ingredients in a bowl and taste. Adjust the flavor of the cooking sauce with the addition of anything else you’d like to have more of. Whether it's hoisin, ketchup, chili paste, more sugar for sweetness etc.

Add the ribs into the bowl and toss all the ribs so they are covered completely in the sauce. Pour it back into the crock pot. The ribs are not submersed in sauce, that is why you are coating them first with the sauce.

Cook on LOW for 8 hours.Be sure to rotate the ribs while it is cooking to ensure that the raw meat gets moved to the top and cooks properly.

Once it is done, this should be fork tender and falling off the bones.

Serve steamed white or brown rice and your favorite veggies! Make sure to spoon all that delicious sauce onto your rice because it is oh so delicious!
