Another one of my creations. Simple, tasty, sweet and savory, spicy, and messy...which I love! These Chili-Lime and Cilantro beef chuck rib are full of flavor and are very easy to make!

There is something captivating and addictive about these ribs. The flavors are sharp, bright, appeasing, and comforting. I would compare them to a Thai-Mexican Fusion of sorts. Both cuisines have similar elements: limes, chilis, cilantro (coriander), hot sauce, and aromatic spices.

This is one of those recipes with simple ingredients and minimal effort. You can start the cooking process hours in advance and finish the ribs right before serving them. The ribs are cooked low and slow for 4 hours, which guarantees a nice tender rib, and then glazed with a wonderful sweet, tangy, and spicy sticky sauce that makes you lick your fingers after each bite.

You can actually use any kind of beef or pork ribs you want for this recipe.

What is the flavor profile?

Sweet, tangy, and spicy with garlic and acidic notes.

What ingredients will I need to make this?

Beef Chuck Ribs or any other Beef Ribs cut you want.

For the Dry Rub you will need: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ground all-spice, and cane sugar.

For the glaze you will need: vegetable oil, Sweet Chili Sauce, limes, a yellow onion, fresh cilantro (coriander), sriracha sauce, and water.

What else will I need to make these?

A baking tray, aluminum foil, a sharp knife or scissors to remove the extra fat, a cutting board, a wooden spoon, a sauce pan, and measuring cups and spoons.

Can I make any substitutions?

Yes. You can use Baby Back Ribs... or any ribs you wish to!
