Active: 30 min
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups soy sauce
  2. 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  3. 1 tablespoon dark molasses
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 5 pounds meaty pork ribs
  6. One 14-ounce bottle ketchup
  7. One 12-ounce bottle chili sauce
  8. 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  9. 1 teaspoon dry mustard

Instructions

  1. For the ribs: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, molasses, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Put the ribs in a large, turkey-sized baking bag or sealable plastic bag. Support the bag in a 12-by-14-inch baking pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs and seal the bag. Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for a few hours, turning the bag occasionally to thoroughly coat the meat.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  4. Drain and discard the marinade. Cut four slits in the top of the baking bag, if you are using one. Otherwise, remove the ribs, transfer them to the baking pan, and cover the pan with foil or a lid. Bake for 2 hours.
  5. For the barbecue sauce: While the ribs are baking, blend the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
  6. When the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the baking bag. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  7. Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce and return them to the oven to bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer. Just before serving, throw the ribs under the broiler to give them a bit of a char.

I made this with 7.5 lbs of ribs. I missed the water in the marinade. It’s in the instructions but not in the list of ingredients but as it turned out the marinade was delicious without it. I marinated it for 5 hours. I cooked the ribs in the turkey-sized baking bag @ 350 degrees for 2 hours 45 minutes. I added the sauce & cooked it uncovered for 30 more minutes. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious which is how I like them!
The sauce was too sweet for my taste so I added a little hot sauce & crushed red pepper flakes. The basic recipe was a good guide to create this recipe my way.

Ew youi’re boiling them….You need to marinate them longer and cook them lower and slower. Pork is tough. You also didn’t take the meat out to get room temperature before you cooked them. Too bad the marinade is ok but your method. Too tough

Best ribs ever!!!

Great recipe! I loved the cooking bag idea. It was easy to follow and my family loved it. I used low sodium soy sauce and did not add any additional salt but otherwise followed the directions as given.

Awesome recipe and great way to cook ribs without cooking them all day. Also works with a dry rub.
