Why We Love These Oven Roasted Guava Ribs

When the craving for ribs strikes, it could be all consuming. Originally we thought you needed a BBQ or a grill to get the perfect finger licking ribs we love. We had no idea it could be as easy as popping them in the oven and letting them slowly roast to perfection.

Here is a fact, in order to achieve good ribs you need two things: 1- a delicious rub and seasoning, and 2- time. If you have that then you have everything you need for fall off the bone deliciousness. This recipe is going to give you the rub and seasoning, all we ask is that you give it the time.

This recipe will also feature our delicious Guava BBQ Sauce. The Guava BBQ sauce is so delicious, we cannot stop finding different ways to use that sauce. Check out our Guava BBQ Chicken Thighs

Our Tips for the Perfect Guava Ribs

As you will see, this recipe has only a handful of ingredients but they come together to bring such a great flavor. In making the rub, we decided to use Achiote because it brings an earthy, peppery flavor with a hint of bitterness. Then we thought it would be perfect to balance it out the brown sugar.

As far as the beer goes, any beer you have on hand will do. Just be sure to pour it into the bottom of the pan before wrapping with aluminum foil to help steam the ribs. By the end of two hours your ribs will be steamed and slow roasted to absolute fall of the bone perfection.
