FAQs
Q: Can I cook these ribs at a higher temperature to save time?
A: You can raise the oven to 325°F, but the ribs may need at least 2 to 2.5 hours. Lower heat gives better tenderness.
Q: Do I need to sear the ribs before baking?
A: No. Searing is optional. Baking covered makes the ribs tender without searing. You can broil at the end to brown the top.
Q: Can I use water instead of beef broth?
A: Yes. Water works, but beef broth adds more flavor.
Q: How do I know when the ribs are done?
A: The meat should be fork-tender and pull apart easily. If it is still tough, bake longer and check every 20–30 minutes.
FAQs (additional)
Q: Is cayenne pepper required?
A: No. Use it only if you like a little heat.
Q: Can I make this in a slow cooker?
A: Yes. Cook on low for 6–8 hours with the same spices and a cup of broth.
