Prepare the Ribs

In this step I will show you how I prepared the Fall Off the Bone Beef Ribs.

The secret to getting any meat to fall off the ribs is slow cook it in a marinade for a few hours.

These ribs slow cooked for 5 hours.

In order to slow cook ribs you need something big enough to put them in. I use a roasting pan. They cost about $25 for a basic one and I have been told they will last a long long time.

Put your ribs in the roaster and add water. I only add enough water so that it just covers the ribs. You can also add some sauce to the water, it helps with light flavor and color.

Turn your roaster to about 300 degrees and let it cook for a few hours at this temperature.

It might boil a light boil this is OK but try to stay away from a roaring boil.

Come back about every half hour and baste the top of the ribs. Once an hour flip the ribs and let the other side cook. You will notice the ribs start to shrink up on the bone that's ok.

Let the ribs cook for about 5 hours. When you flip the ribs every hour you will notice the meat beginning to loosen. You can judge how long you need to let the ribs cook by how much they are falling off the bone.

You can start to prepare you side dishes if you have any. Shuck your corn on the cob, peel your potatoes and slice them up for your mashed potatoes, make your sun tea etc. You will need to time when you need to start cooking you side dishes with I start mine about 30 minutes before I take the ribs out of the roaster and put them on the grill.

They are ready when they are almost falling off the bones when you flip them.

When you reach this point go turn your grill on.
