Sticky & Savory Beef Ribs

🍖 Sticky & Savory Beef Ribs

Tender, flavorful, and coated in a sticky-sweet glaze — these Beef Ribs are quick to prep and absolutely satisfying. Perfect with rice or noodles, this simple recipe brings big flavor with minimal ingredients.

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef ribs, cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (for caramelization)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1/4 cup water

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Marinate the Ribs

In a bowl, combine the beef ribs with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar (or honey), black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

2️⃣ Sear the Ribs

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated ribs and sear for about 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.

3️⃣ Simmer

Pour in the 1/4 cup of water, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Let the ribs simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened into a glossy glaze. Stir occasionally and add a splash more water if needed to prevent burning.

4️⃣ Serve

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds (optional). These ribs pair perfectly with steamed white rice or stir-fried vegetables.

🍴 Tips & Variations

  • For extra depth, add a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of chili flakes to the marinade.
  • Want it saucier? Double the sauce ingredients and simmer uncovered until thick.
  • Can also be made in a pressure cooker for faster results — cook on high for 25 minutes, then reduce the sauce on sauté mode.

❤️ Perfect For:

Weeknight dinners, family gatherings, or when you just crave a sticky-sweet-savory rib fix.
