How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Remove the back membrane from the ribs to make them more tender.
2. Mix salt, pepper, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Rub the entire mixture over the ribs.
3. Preheat the oven to 140°C.
4. Place the ribs on a tray, cover lightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
5. While the ribs bake, prepare the sauce: in a small pot, heat the oil and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add the honey, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
7. Remove the aluminum foil from the ribs and brush generously with the sauce.
8. Increase the oven temperature to 190°C and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes, brushing with sauce one or two more times.
9. When the meat separates easily from the bone, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
10. Serve with extra barbecue sauce to taste.
