Brazilian-Style Beef Ribs
1 (3 pound) rack of whole beef ribs (not short ribs)
2 tablespoons sea salt, or more if needed

Directions

Brazilian-Style Beef Ribs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

Step 2

Place rib rack onto a work surface with the white membrane facing up. Use a sharp knife to slice under the membrane and remove from meat in a single piece if possible; discard the membrane. Rub ribs thoroughly with salt on both sides. Place ribs onto a cooking rack in a roasting pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Baste ribs with a small amount of water, being very careful not to dislodge any salt. Continue to bake, basting every 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is very tender; total cooking time will be about 6 hours.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into three portions.

What sets Brazilian-style beef ribs apart is the use of a special seasoning blend that typically includes a combination of salt, garlic, pepper, and other spices. The ribs are then slow-cooked over a wood or charcoal fire, allowing the meat to become tender and infused with smoky, savory flavors. The result is a mouthwatering dish that is both succulent and full of bold, robust flavors. Whether enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger churrasco spread, Brazilian-style beef ribs are a true delight for meat lovers and a must-try for anyone looking to experience the authentic flavors of Brazilian cuisine.
