Use your favourite sauce, first to marinade the ribs and the to glaze them in the oven as a last step. I will be using honey-soy sauce, but feel free to use your favourite sauce)

Ingredients

• 750 g pork short ribs

• Marinade sauce: (I used: Honey-soy sauce)

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 2 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

• ½ teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder

• Gazing sauce: Honey-soy sauce

• 2 tablespoon honey

• 3 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

• In a medium bowl combine the marinade sauce. I used: honey, soy sauce, pepper and garlic.
• Season the ribs from both sides with the sauce using a brush.
• Place them in a sealed container or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours or over-night.
• Place the ribs in the slow cooker vertically (see picture below), so they will cook evenly.
• Cook in HIGH for 4 hours.
• When the ribs are almost ready, pre-heat the oven to 220ºC.
• When the ribs are ready remove them from the slow cooker and place them on the baking tray.
• Glazing sauce: (I used:Honey-soy sauce:) In a medium bowl combine the honey, soy sauce, pepper, garlic and the liquid from the slow cooker.
• Brush the ribs from both sides with the sauce. Place the ribs on the baking tray with the meaty part up. Bake for 10 minutes at 220ºC. Open the oven and brush the ribs (just the upper-meaty part) every 5 minutes, so 3 times in total. This will create an amazing caramelized layer.
• Allow the ribs to cool and rest for 2-3 minutes and remove the bones. They will fall off easily. Enjoy them!

Fancy some tacos with spare ribs?

Juicy and full of flavour! The meat is so tender it falls off the bone, add some roasted vegetables and fresh-made guacamole. Can not think of a better combination.
