My husband absolutely loves beef ribs, he thinks of them as a special treat, and I am hoping he never sees this post to learn my secret of how easy they are to make! This truly is a “Finger-Lickin’ Good” recipe.
I make these three-ingredient barbecue beef ribs as appetizers for special dinner parties I host or a special dinner treat. They are so incredibly easy and always come out delicious. After you make these once, you will see why they are always the hit of the party. Enjoy!

I’ll have to share this recipe with my husband!!
I am SO excited for rib season! I love this simple straight forward recipe.
These look yummy! By the way, I love Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce, too.
My husband loves ribs! I’ll have to give this a try.
sounds good, I’m interested to try this recipe. do you lay the rib rack right on the water or on a metal rack suspended above the water? and, do they fall off the bone?
Hi William,
You put the ribs directly on the water, meat side up. Ribs are normally curved a bit, so it is really only the tips of the ribs that will be in the water. Hope that helps! Karen
That sure helped me. I had the same question!
Can ribs be put in a slow cooker?
Excellent. Thanks
Can beef ribs be cooked in a slow cooker?
Yes- absolutely! On low for 6-8 hours. Enjoy!
Either way you cook them in the oven or slow cooker are they covered? Sorry just learning
Hi-
If cooking in the oven you do not need to cover them, but in the slow cooker, you always want to cover whatever you are cooking. Hope that helps! Karen
