This is my version of Brazilian beef ribs. Whenever I go to Brazil, I always go to a churrascaria restaurant to eat these ribs. The meat is so tender and flavorful, it's hard to believe it's only seasoned with salt!
Ingredients:
1 (3 pound) rack of whole beef ribs (not short ribs)
2 tablespoons sea salt, or more if needed
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
Place rib rack onto a work surface with the white membrane facing up. Use a sharp knife to slice under the membrane and remove from meat in a single piece if possible; discard the membrane. Rub ribs thoroughly with salt on both sides. Place ribs onto a cooking rack in a roasting pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Baste ribs with a small amount of water, being very careful not to dislodge any salt. Continue to bake, basting every 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is very tender; total cooking time will be about 6 hours.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into three portions.
