  • Step 5: Put the rest of the onions and garlic on top.

  • Step 6: Pour beef broth over- you may not need all the broth-don't submerge ribs completely.

  • Step 7: Place covered pot in a cold oven and turn to 375 degrees F.

  • Step 8: Cook for approx 2.5( may be more or less) hours- check after the first hour and then every 15-20 minutes or so-make sure the broth doesn't fully evaporate; if so, add some water. Also, baste the sauce over the ribs. The meat should just about fall off the bone when done.
