PC Day 5: BBQ

Day 5 and me and the Caveman are holding out strong. This has to be my favorite Paleo meal so far.. Beef Ribs with Paleo BBQ sauce. Commence drooling.

This is the first video I did for hungryneedfood. The actual length of the video is about 40 minutes long... I have yet to master the fine art of video editing. It will take some time for me to put it up, so for now i'll provide the recipe and prep! Patience is a virtue!

Recipe:
1.5-2lbs beef ribs
2 tsps salt
2 tsps pepper
2 tsps garlic powder

Method: Rinse ribs under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Place ribs in a large, flat pan. Season with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder on both sides. Cover with foil and roast in oven at 375°F for about 1 hour. Drain any grease that has accumulated. Cover the roasted ribs with sauce and bake for an additional 45 minutes (still covered) or until the ribs are tender, basting occasionally as needed. Remove ribs and slather on more sauce then place back in the oven to broil for about 5 minutes.

Paleo BBQ Sauce:
1-1.5 cups of beef broth
6 oz. tomato paste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp honey (optional)
1tsp pepper

Method: Heat olive oil up in medium stock pot. Stir in onions and garlic until onions are transluscent and garlic is fragrant. Stir in all the other ingredients (no specific order). Cover and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Sesame Cucumber Salad:
1 cucumber
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 green onion
salt & pepper
sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Method:
Peel cucumber and cut into desired shape and size. Chop green onion, medium sized. Pour in sesame oil and apple cider vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Needless to say this meal turned out great! My only regret is not cooking a second rack of ribs!
Until next time.. live well, be well!
