Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Get ready to cook your boneless beef ribs to perfection. First, preheat your oven to 300°F. Place the seasoned ribs in a baking dish. Add 3 tablespoons of water, cover with foil, and bake for 2 hours.
This low and slow method makes the meat tender. It becomes so tender, it falls off the bone easily.
After baking, remove the foil. Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. Bake for another 30 minutes to let the sauce glaze the ribs. For a charred look, broil for 4-5 minutes before serving.
For a slow cooker option, place the ribs in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. This keeps the meat moist and flavorful. Just remember to seal the slow cooker to prevent drying out.
