Spiced Sticky Beef Ribs with Baked Potatoes, Sour Cream, Chives & Slaw

Spiced Sticky Beef Ribs with Baked Potatoes, Sour Cream, Chives and Slaw

Short beef ribs are such a brilliant cut as they offer so much meat and also take to flavour really well, making them perfect for a dish like this. These ribs were marinated in spices for 18h and then placed in an oven for 3 hours with continuous basting of a homemade sticky sweet sour marinade. Something to serve on the weekend as they can take some time, the end result is certainly worth it. Served with baked potatoes, a great source of resistant starch which can assist in supporting good gut health, slaw which is great form of fibre to support a healthy digestive tract, chives which are members of the onion family which can support the liver due to their sulphur content and sour cream, a source of calcium, vitamin A to support vision as well as immunity.
