Sticky BBQ Beasty Pork Ribs with Apple Slaw

Sticky BBQ Beasty pork ribs with caramelised edges and fresh apple slaw served on a ceramic platter.

These sticky pork ribs bring proper barbecue flavour without needing to spend all day beside the grill. A slow oven cook makes the meat tender, then a hot finish caramelises the smoky-sweet glaze made with our BBQ Beasty Spice Blend.

The fresh apple and red cabbage slaw cuts through the richness beautifully, making this a generous weekend meal that is every bit as good cooked indoors as it is finished outside.

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1.2kg pork ribs
  • 2½ tbsp BBQ Beasty Spice Blend
  • 2 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100ml apple juice
  • For the slaw: ¼ red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 crisp eating apple, cut into fine matchsticks
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 3 tbsp natural yoghurt
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

🍴 Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C fan. Put the ribs in a roasting tin and pat them dry.
  2. Mix 2 tbsp BBQ Beasty Spice Blend with the sugar, ketchup, honey, vinegar, oil and apple juice. Brush half over the ribs.
  3. Cover the tin tightly with foil and cook for 1 hour 45 minutes, turning once.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the cabbage, apple and carrot. Stir together the yoghurt, mustard, lemon juice and remaining ½ tbsp seasoning, then fold through the slaw.
  5. Increase the oven to 220°C fan or heat the barbecue. Uncover the ribs, brush with the remaining glaze and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning and glazing until sticky and caramelised.
  6. Rest for 5 minutes before cutting into portions and serving with the slaw.
