Instructions

  1. The marinade consists of chopped rosemary needles, piri-piri (the small Portuguese chili peppers), chopped garlic, orange juice and salt.
  2. Crush the peeling ribs. Do not cut along the bone so that the individual ribs still have meat on both sides. Put the individual ribs together with the marinade in a freezer bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least a day.
  3. Preheat the oven to 140 ° C and fry the drained spare ribs on a tray for about 20 - 30 minutes. Brush the marinade 1 or 2 times in between. Finally deglaze with beer and let it get crispy at maximum heat (over 200 ° C).
  4. If you get chop ribs (baby back ribs) instead of peeled ribs at the butcher, you should prefer these, as they are meatier and more tender. If you want to grill the spare ribs over charcoal, you should pre-cook the peeling ribs so that they don`t burn on the grill.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
