Spareribs in the Dutch Oven: A Juicy Recipe for Meat Lovers

Experience the mouthwatering flavors of tender, juicy spareribs cooked to perfection in a Dutch oven. This recipe combines a special spice rub and BBQ sauce for an unforgettable meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 kg pork ribs (spareribs) (about 6 racks)
  • 2 onions
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 200 g bacon slices
  • 4 tbsp Magic Dust Rub
  • 1 tbsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 200 ml BBQ sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spareribs by removing the silver skin on the inside with a spoon. This allows the spices to penetrate better. (about 10 minutes)
  2. Place the prepared ribs in a large bowl and make the rub by mixing the Magic Dust Rub with garlic granules and sugar. (about 5 minutes)
  3. Sprinkle the rub evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. (about 5 minutes)
  4. For more flavor, ideally let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  5. Slice the onions and red bell peppers into about 5-10 mm thick rings. (about 10 minutes)
  6. Peel the garlic and press it into the olive oil. Mix everything well. (about 5 minutes)
  7. Prepare the Dutch oven by lining the bottom with bacon slices, followed by onion and bell pepper rings as spacers. (about 5 minutes)
  8. Layer the ribs upright from the outside in the Dutch oven, adding onion and bell pepper rings between the layers. (about 15 minutes)
  9. Evenly distribute the garlic oil over the ribs and add the BBQ sauce. (about 5 minutes)
  10. Preheat the grill to indirect heat of about 200°C and place the Dutch oven on it. Don't forget to close the lid. (about 5 minutes)
  11. Let the ribs cook for about 2 ½ to 3 hours until they are tender and easily pull away from the bone. (Check after 2 ½ hours.)
  12. Serve the ribs hot with sides like rosemary potatoes or homemade parmesan potatoes. Enjoy! (about 5 minutes)

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overcrowding the ribs; they should lie loosely in the Dutch oven to allow heat circulation. Use a thermometer to monitor the grill temperature for perfect cooking time. Experiment with different rubs and sauces to adjust flavors to your liking.
