Equipment & prep steps

  • Mixing bowl (or similar) to mix the dry rub
  • Barbecue mentioned for later cooking/serving context (ribs are also baked for hours)

    • A jug is suggested for holding sauce for pouring later (optional presentation)
  • Reminder: “give your hands wash

Step-by-step method (ribs)

  1. Make the dry rub

    • Mix together: ground cumin, ground coriander, chilli (~1 tsp), ground ginger, paprika, and dark brown sugar.
    • Cue: “once you’ve mixed it up…”
  2. Season the ribs

    • Sprinkle the dry rub generously over the ribs.
    • Rub/massage it into the meat (“end massage it in” / “massage it”).
    • Prep is done before roasting and emphasized as needing time in the oven.
  3. Roast/bake

    • Bake ribs at ~100°C for about 3 hours.
    • Cue: ribs need a “long time” / “they need a long time in the oven.”
    • Timing note: subtitles indicate it’s “now three hours…” → bake duration ~3 hours.
  4. Make the sauce (during the bake)

    • In a saucepan/mixture, add:
      • ~420 ml tomato ketchup
      • 1 big dollop / about 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
      • ~4–5 cider vinegar (exact volume unclear)
      • ~50 ml orange juice
      • a dash of liquid smoke
    • Cue/description: liquid smoke “begins to come together,” and the flavor is intensely smoky.
  5. Sauce serving option

    • Put some sauce aside in a jug to use as a pouring sauce later (optional variation).
    • Barbecue is mentioned, but the exact integration with grilling isn’t specified.

Chef tips / technique cues / common notes

  • Dry rub clings better than wet marinade

    • Tip: starting with wet marinade can make seasoning “fall off,” while this dry rub clings (“dry marinade… a KO threat clings to it”).
  • Smokiness strategy

    • Tip: you don’t need smoked paprika in the rub because liquid smoke provides smokiness.
  • Timing / prep cue

    • Don’t do the prep too far ahead (“wasn’t good to do that early door”); the key requirement is time in the oven (about 3 hours).

Plating / serving suggestions

  • Ribs are described as “moisture to perfection.”
  • Sauce is intended as a pouring sauce, with the jug being the suggested method.
  • Tasting cue: they describe the result as “seriously hot” and “best rib” (qualitative feedback).

Variations mentioned (concisely)

  • Chilli/rub heat
    • Add piri piri / cayenne pepper for more spice
    • Or keep the ~1 tsp chilli base described
  • Paprika type
    • Optional: smoked paprika in the rub
    • Presenter notes it’s not needed due to liquid smoke
  • Sauce smokiness
    • Uses liquid smoke as the “secret ingredient” dash
  • (Non-rib) Whiskey sour sweetener
    • Use honey (with cinnamon in it); optionally add cinnamon if using plain honey
