Brown-Sugar Whiskey Steak
This savory steak pairs well with a fresh garden salad and a glass of Chardonnay.
It might seem like this is an awful lot of honey and that the ribs would be cloying, but the honey, which not only sweetens but also helps to keep the ribs moist as they cook all day, is tempered by the spices. ―Liana Krissoff, author of Slow Cook Modern
Ingredients
Honey-Braised Ribs
- 3½ baby back ribs (1 smallish rack)
- ¾ cup honey
- 1½ tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
IN THE MORNING: Cut the rack of ribs between the bones into individual ribs and put them in the slow cooker. Drizzle in the honey. In a cup, combine the paprika, cinnamon, cumin and salt and sprinkle the mixture over the ribs, turning them with your hand to coat them with the honey and spices. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
IN THE EVENING: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the ribs to a platter. Spoon some of the cooking liquid over them. Serve over sautéed broccoli.
