Baby back ribs
Preparation and cooking time was one hour–and I cooked the baby back ribs twice. That’s how tender the meat was. This was last night’s dinner. Baby back ribs–braised then broiled and served with a gravy (made from the braising sauce) and mashed potatoes. These are pork ribs. While the term baby back ribs is more associated with beef, pork ribs are equally wonderful. The cooking time is shorter too.
The most common way of cooking baby back ribs is to barbeque them. I wanted to. But it was raining all afternoon and early evening. So I did the next best thing–broil them in the oven.
Now why did I cook the ribs twice? It’s a shortcut to marinating. By braising them in the marinade, the meat absorbs the seasonings and the flavors in 20 minutes. To achieve that by marinating, the ribs would have to sit in the fridge at least overnight. More than that, the sauce that remains after braising is an excellent base for a gravy.
Preparing this meal was also a good exercise in time management. I did the mashed potatoes while broiling the ribs.

Hello Sassy! Do you have a recipe for lamb? Grilled, broiled, fried, stew – whatever! I just found out (after 30 yrs!) my husband likes lamb and I want to surprise him on Valentines Day. Thanks!
Hello Connie! Thank you for this baby back rib recipe. I don’t really know how to cook but I just love to eat… I promised myself that I would learn to cook this year, hopefully I won’t ruin your dishes too much
Hi connie,
It’s the first time I have written here but I have used some of your recipes before and my husband particularly like the sweet sour sauce that I use when I cook fried snapper.
anyway, i am interested to cook this dish but not sure what temparature the oven should be if you are broling the pork ribs.
thanks and keep the yummy recipes coming:lol:
Oh, I cooked these in the old gas oven. But, as a rule, 180oC, is a good temperature.
I’m checking ideas here on what to serve in next Sunday’s lunch. This looks like a winner. I can’t wait to try this out.
hey gud afternoon can i ask you some copy of your recipe. Thank i hope you can reply on that
jha, the conditions are spelled out below, immediately after the “submit” button.
Hi,
what kind of chili sauce should I use for this recipe? there seems to be so many kinds of chili sauce in the market.
thanks
Hi-
What type of steak sauce are you using? Can I use tabasco for the chilli sauce? I want cook this.
Thanks!
re chili sauce: whatever’s available. You can even use fresh chili and omit the sauce altogether.
re steak sauce: Lea and Perrins or A1.
Hi Connie, I am not a good cook, but I am learning quite well, thanks to your website.
Regarding the chili sauce, I prepared the marinade just now and used 1 1/2 tsp of Jufran chili sauce coz that’s what we have in the cupboard. I tasted the marinade and it was quite hot. I have high tolerance to spicy food and I was wondering if the recipe for 4 TBSP of chili sauce refers to a milder brand or if the degree of pungency would move down once the ribs are cooked.
becca, my husband and older daughter like spicy food. Treat the list of ingredients as a guide that you can add or subtract to depending on your personal preference.
Guess what, the back ribs turned out to be not spicy after all. I guess I’ll be using 4 TBSP next time (and with baked beans on the side) ! Recipe was great ! Thanks!
Hi connie… ask ko lang what sort of steak sauce?
Kahit ano hehehe
dear connie,
my kids don’t like grilled food.(kahit ano) ask ko lang kung how many minutes in the oven…
That depends on how large they are and how long it takes for the surface to acquire some texture.
hi connie,
thanks for sharing all your recipes.
i just got married and your blogs help me a lot.
my husband loves baby back ribs.
ill cook it tonight…hmmm im so excited!
btw, do i need to put the boiled meat into a dish when broiling on the oven? or ill just put it on the tray? im sorry, it will be my first time to use our oven..(my husband gave it to me as a present last christmas)
thanks again
hi, i link your site in baby back ribs recipe. i hope i could try you recipe at home. god bless!!
pwede po ba ibabad overnight ko muna don sa sauce ung back ribs. thanks po.
i tried it the other night. instead of cooking it right away, i marinated it overnight. the whole family loved it. in fact, my niece wants me to cook baby back ribs again. pwede rin po ba pork chop o chicken drumsticks o wings? if so, ganon din po ba cooking time? thanks po.
Chicken needs a shorter cooking time. Pork shops may take longer to cook. But the seasoning/marinade is good for both.
we had this for lunch today, i added steamed corn cob, and “wow!” that was the word my son and hubby uttered! thanks for this… we just had another wonderful meal.%^$^
