directions

  • In a small bowl, prepare the dry rub by thoroughly mixing all ingredients together.
  • Wash the ribs under running water, pat dry, rub the lime juice over ribs; generously rub the dry rub into meat. Cover and refrigerate, allowing ribs to marinade for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Prepare the mango sauce by placing ingredients in a heavy saucepan, make a slit in the pepper with a sharp knife before adding to the pot; bring ingredients to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced and thick; approximately 20 minutes. Remove the pepper, puree remaining ingredients in blender, stir the lime zest into puree. Place in container and refrigerate until you are ready to prepare the ribs.
  • Remove meat from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking time and allow it to stand at room temperature. Preheat broiler on high, spray a broiling pan with cooking spray, place the ribs on prepared pan, broil until meat browns, and turn as needed in order for all sides to brown evenly.
  • Remove meat from oven, place in heavy pot, pour mango sauce over meat, cover and cook at 300 degrees for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Several times during the cooking process, skim fat from broth.
  • Cook the rice as per package directions, remove meat from sauce, skim additional fat if needed, pour sauce into small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce for the ribs or if serving as a main course, place ribs on top of cooked rice and spoon the sauce over. Enjoy!

  1. Very pleasing weather made with beef or pork. We thought the rub combine with the mango cooking sauce gave these tender morsels just the right spice / sweet combo. I could not get but 2.5 pounds of short ribs and had gust coming so used 2.5 pounds of country pork ribs to make the required amount and we thought both the beef and pork were equally tasty. Thanks for the post.
     
  2. So sorry I didnt get this review in before the deadline for RSC. I really thought there was one more day! :( Was hoping it would be in the finalist list! This is a really good recipe- DH LOVED it- I dont eat beef- Was much easier to prepare than I thought it would be. Congrats on a great recipe! Be very proud! Again I am so sorry I was late with my review!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
