| Yield: | 6 servings |
Ingredients
- 3 racks of baby back ribs
- Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup espresso
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Instructions
- Ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cut each rack of ribs in half and season with salt and pepper. Stack the ribs on a foil-covered baking sheet, in two piles of 3 pieces. Bake in the oven about 2-1/2 hours, or until tender, rotating the ribs every 30 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven and cover them with foil to keep them moist and tender.
- Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and espresso. Place the olive oil and garlic in a small saute pan. Cook over low heat for about 1 minute, or until it turns a golden brown. Remove from heat. Add to the honey mixture. Place the honey mixture in a saucepan and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.
- To complete: Brush the BBQ sauce on both sides of the ribs, and arrange them in a single layer. Place the ribs on an outdoor grill or in a 425 degree F oven. Turn and baste the ribs as they cook. Remove when the ribs are glazed and tender, about 15 minutes.

Amazing and addictive!
My first reaction was to eliminate the expresso. I’m glad I did not, I followed the recipe to the letter and it was excellent.
This was a fabulous recipe! Love the sauce and will use it for other things like pulled pork.
I’ve made this recipe for years, and it is fabulous. This is my staple bbq sauce, I use it on everything.
