How to Make Barbecued Ribs Either Beef Or Pork

Season ribs generously with salt and pepper. Brown the ribs in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Remove ribs and set aside.
In a large, deep oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 cup beef broth.
Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the browned ribs to the sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged. Cover the pot tightly and simmer for 2 hours, or until the ribs are incredibly tender and easily pull apart. For extra tender ribs, consider braising in a 325°F (160°C) oven for the last hour.
Once the ribs are cooked through, remove them from the pot and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. You can either serve the ribs directly or brush them with extra sauce before serving. Serve with your favorite sides.
