Ingredients
8 meaty pork loin spareribs
15 ml light olive oil
1 can (400g) beef broth
120 ml ketchup
60 ml brown sugar
60 ml lemon juice
60 ml dried minced onion
30 ml vinegar
30 ml Worcestershire sauce
30 ml soy sauce
15 ml seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2.5 ml crushed red pepper flakes
2.5 ml ground nutmeg
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place the spareribs in a large pot and cover them with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 45 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the spareribs and brown them for about 10 minutes on each side. Transfer the ribs to a plate.
Step 3
Add the beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, minced onion, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, seafood seasoning, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the Dutch oven. Stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Return the ribs to the Dutch oven and turn to coat them in the sauce. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat until the meat is very tender and falls off the bones, about 3 hours.
