Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut ribs into manageable portions.
- Place olive oil in a hot pan.
- Sauté green onions and garlic until fragrant.
- Add wine, brown sugar, and tomato paste to the pan.
- Combine with ribs and cook until tender and flavors meld.
Tips & Substitutions
For tender ribs, marinate them overnight in the olive oil, garlic, and green onions mixture. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar to 2/3 cup. You can substitute white wine with apple juice for a different flavor profile. Consider using a slow cooker for more convenient cooking, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully over several hours.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue ribs with a side of Glazed Green Beans for a fresh contrast to the rich flavors. Consider pairing with a simple coleslaw or cornbread to round out the meal. For a fun twist, serve them alongside Great Grilled Burgers during a summer barbecue for a hearty feast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use chicken or turkey ribs instead of beef or pork. Just be mindful that cooking times may vary, and poultry may require less cooking to avoid drying out.
How can I make the ribs spicier?
To add heat, incorporate chili powder, cayenne pepper, or your favorite hot sauce into the sauce mixture. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste to achieve your desired spice level.
Can I grill the ribs instead of cooking them on the stove?
Absolutely! After sautéing the aromatics and mixing in the sauce, you can transfer the ribs to a preheated grill. Cook over indirect heat, basting with the sauce until they are tender and charred, which adds a delicious smoky flavor.
