#### Step 2: Cook the Ribs (Oven or Grill Method)
You can cook the ribs either in the oven or on the grill, depending on your preference.
– **Oven Method**: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Cover the ribs with foil to keep the moisture in. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is starting to pull away from the bones. During the last 20 minutes of cooking, remove the foil to let the ribs get a little crispy on the edges.
– **Grill Method**: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for about 2–2.5 hours, flipping occasionally. Use indirect heat (i.e., don’t place the ribs directly over the flames) to ensure slow, even cooking. If you want to add some extra smoky flavor, you can also throw in some wood chips for a smoky kick.
#### Step 3: Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce
While the ribs are cooking, it’s time to make the honey garlic sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Next, stir in the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil (if using), ginger, and red pepper flakes (if you like a little heat). Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the sauce has thickened and all the ingredients have combined into a smooth, glossy mixture, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
#### Step 4: Glaze the Ribs
Once your ribs are done cooking and are tender to the touch, brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the ribs. You can also reserve some sauce for dipping once the ribs are served.
For an extra caramelized effect, place the sauced ribs back in the oven or on the grill for an additional 5–10 minutes. This allows the glaze to set and become sticky, adding a lovely shine and depth of flavor to the ribs.
#### Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the ribs from the oven or grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice the ribs between the bones, making sure to serve them with extra honey garlic sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of color and flavor.
### Tips for Success
– **Low and Slow**: Cooking the ribs at a low temperature (in the oven or on the grill) allows the meat to become tender and fall off the bone. Avoid rushing the process by cooking at a high heat, as this can lead to tough ribs.
– **Marinate the Ribs**: If you have extra time, marinate the ribs in the dry seasoning mix for a few hours before cooking. This enhances the flavor and tenderness.
– **Sticky Sauce**: If you like your ribs extra sticky, you can brush the honey garlic sauce on the ribs every 10-15 minutes during the final stages of cooking to build up layers of flavor.
– **Grill or Bake**: Both cooking methods work well, but grilling can add a lovely smoky flavor to the ribs. If you bake the ribs in the oven, make sure to finish them off under the broiler or on the grill for a crispy, caramelized finish.
