Oven-baked honey BBQ beef ribs

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup sweet paprika
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2.7 kg beef short ribs (about 8 ribs with bones, cut into 12-15 cm strips)
• 0.5 cups honey

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, 4 tablespoons of salt, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture over the ribs and let them rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
3. Place the ribs tightly in a baking dish, fat side up. Cover the dish tightly with foil and place another heavy dish on top to ensure a tight seal! Bake in the oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is falling off the bone. Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 220°C.
4. Using tongs, flip the ribs over and move them slightly. Drizzle evenly with honey. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered this time, and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
