Notes
Chef’s Note:
- Use beef ribs rather than pork if preferred.
- This recipe makes a ton of yummy ribs. If you do not plan on using them for leftovers during the same week, freeze them. Once you defrost them, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave. If reheating in the oven, cover them with foil and reheat at 300ºF for about 20 minutes.
