Tender BBQ Deer Ribs

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs deer ribs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). This slow cooking method will ensure the ribs are tender and full of flavor.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture generously over the deer ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. This step locks in the juices and adds depth of flavor.
  4. Transfer the seared ribs to a baking dish. In the same skillet, combine the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar, stirring well and heating for about 2 minutes. Pour this sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Let the ribs cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until they are fork-tender.
  6. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Feel free to brush on more BBQ sauce before serving, for an extra burst of flavor.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite sides, like coleslaw or cornbread, for a complete BBQ feast!
