Description

These Oriental Barbecued Ribs deliver a bold fusion of flavors, combining the rich, savory taste of baby back ribs with aromatic star anise, fresh tarragon, and garlic. The marinade, featuring Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and a touch of sugar, creates a complex, tangy-sweet profile that penetrates deep into the meat. After a slow roast in the oven to tenderize, the ribs are finished on the grill for a smoky char and caramelized exterior. Perfect for weekend gatherings, summer cookouts, or a special weeknight dinner, this dish offers a sophisticated twist on classic barbecue. The result is fall-off-the-bone tender pork with a sticky, flavorful glaze that balances heat, sweetness, and umami beautifully.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Place the baby back ribs in a single layer in a large roasting pan.
  3. In a bowl, combine crushed star anise, dried tarragon, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, soy sauce, chicken stock, and sugar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Pour the marinade evenly over the ribs in the roasting pan.
  5. Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast in the oven for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and let the ribs cool to room temperature.
  7. Cover the pan and refrigerate the ribs overnight to allow them to marinate thoroughly.
  8. The next day, remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prepare the grill.
  9. Strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solid bits of star anise and garlic. Reserve the liquid for basting.
  10. Remove the ribs from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off.
  11. Light a charcoal or gas grill and preheat to medium-high heat.
  12. Place the ribs on the hot grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade until caramelized and cooked through.
  13. Transfer the ribs to a serving platter. Serve warm with any remaining marinade on the side as a dipping sauce.
