Prairie honey is something to brag about. Bees work the endless clover and canola fields from Manitoba to Alberta, and the honey they make is golden, floral, and world-class. It is no surprise that prairie cooks found their way to honey garlic ribs — a sticky, glossy favorite at summer backyard gatherings and fall suppers.

The ribs are cooked low and slow until the meat is falling off the bone, then glazed with a sweet, garlicky honey sauce and broiled until the edges caramelize. Sweet, savory, and a little sticky — exactly the way ribs should be, with plenty of napkins and cold drinks on hand.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and ginger to make the glaze.
  3. Place the ribs in a baking dish, brush with half of the glaze, cover tightly with foil, and bake at 300°F for 2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
  4. Carefully pour off the juices, brush the ribs with more glaze, and return them to a 425°F oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  5. Brush the ribs with the remaining glaze and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized at the edges.
  6. Rest the ribs for 5 minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with any extra glaze on the side.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Peeling the membrane off the back of the ribs lets the glaze penetrate and keeps them from curling. These ribs are wonderful made ahead — braise them a day early, then glaze and broil just before serving.
