Costillar de cerdo is the Chilean countryside’s answer to barbecue ribs: a whole rack of pork seasoned with garlic, paprika, and oregano, roasted slowly until the meat is falling off the bone. This oven version brings the asado spirit to any home kitchen.

The asado, minus the fire

The ribs emerge mahogany-brown and sticky with rendered fat, the meat tender enough to pull apart with a fork. Garlic and paprika perfume every bite, and a squeeze of lemon cuts through the richness.

Step by stepInstructions

Mash the garlic, olive oil, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon juice into a paste.
Massage the paste all over the ribs, cover, and marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 300°F; place the ribs in a roasting pan, pour the wine into the pan, and cover tightly with foil.
Roast for 1 1/2 hours, then uncover, raise the oven to 425°F, and roast 20 to 30 minutes more until the surface is browned and crisp.
Rest the ribs 10 minutes, then slice between the bones.
Serve hot with pebre, lemon wedges, and boiled potatoes.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Marinate overnight if you can — it makes a real difference. The low-and-slow roast followed by the hot finish is what gives you tender meat with crisp, sticky edges.
