2 (3-pound) sides pork spare ribs
1 tablespoon Irvine Spices Roasted Garlic Pepper Seasoning

Yield Makes 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

15 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces (have your butcher do this)
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
5 large onions, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
6 carrots, roughly chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
1/2 bunch celery, roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
2 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise; 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total), stalks discarded and bulbs roughly chopped
4 lemongrass stalks, root ends trimmed, tough outer leaves discarded, and finely chopped
3 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 6 to 7 cloves)

4 cups Chinese Shaoxing rice wine or sake
2 cups dark soy sauce
6 whole sprigs fresh thyme
3 dried bay leaves
1 cup cranberry-teriyaki glaze

Steps:

  • Sprinkle short ribs with 3 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
  • In large heavy stockpot over high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, sear ribs, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer as browned to plate, reserving rendered fat in pan. Add onions, carrots, celery, fennel, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger and sauté, stirring frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add rice wine, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaves, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Return short ribs to pot and add water to cover.

Tips for Making the Best Cranberry Glazed Spareribs:

  • Season the ribs: Sprinkle the ribs with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also use a pre-made spice rub.
  • Cook the ribs: You can cook the ribs in the oven, on the grill, or in a slow cooker. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
  • Make the cranberry glaze: Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and other ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let the glaze simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Glaze the ribs: Brush the ribs with the cranberry glaze during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. This will help the ribs develop a delicious, caramelized crust.

Cranberry glazed spareribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender and juicy, and the cranberry glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. Whether you are cooking for a family meal or a special occasion, these ribs are sure to be a hit.
