Baked Ribs - anything goes
fresh ribs for baking
onions
garlic
celery
salt and pepper
baking marinade:
oyster sauce
catsup
left over barbecue dressing
soy sauce
salt and pepper
rosemary
garlic
onions
to start of, use a pressure cooker! haha! gotcha! there's no 900 hours of slow roasting here! on the pressure cooker, saute garlic till golden, add onions. stir through till onions are soft. be generous with the onions as this will add flavor to the meat. place the rib in the pot. add enough water to cover. add a few chopped celery. sprinkle a little salt and pepper. cover and pressure cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the meat is tender.
for the marinade, mix the oyster sauce, catsup, leftover bbq dressing, a little soy sauce, crushed garlic, salt and pepper. i have some dried rosemary and i added it to the marinade. mix well. consistency should be a little runny and not too heavy, similar to a regular bottled catsup. marinade will dry up when baked. we want the sauce thick and flavorful after baking.
after the ribs are done, remove it from the pressure cooker and drain. keep the broth as you can use this for soups and other stuff as meat stock.
brush the tender ribs with the marinade. make sure that the ribs are coated generously.
slice onions thickly. on an oven-proof dish, place a bed of onions. gently position the ribs on top of the bed of onions. pour extra marinade on top. if you have olive oil, drizzle olive oil on the ribs.bake for about 10 minutes or until the ribs are magically browned. serve well!
