Damn Good Dragon Tail Spare Ribs

August 14, 2013

Rib fans will fall in love with this Asian-style pork spare rib recipe. St. Louis cut spare ribs are marinated overnight in a sweet and savory sauce then slow cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender.  The honey mop glaze just seals the deal!

Coat the ribs with the marinade – store airtight in the refrigerator overnight.

Place the ribs meat side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat begins to pull back and the bones begin to show.
Remove from the oven and coat with the Honey Glaze.  Put back into the oven at 350F for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, carve, and serve immediately!
