Beef Ribs with Orange and Smoked Paprika Sauce

These succulent beef ribs offer a sophisticated twist on classic barbecue fare, featuring a vibrant glaze made from sweet orange marmalade and piquant sherry vinegar. The combination of citrus and smoked paprika creates a deep, savoury flavour profile that perfectly complements the richness of the beef. As a high-protein dish, it provides a satisfying and hearty main course that is sure to impress guests at your next summer gathering.

Cooking the ribs over a medium-low heat ensures the meat remains juicy while the sugars in the marmalade caramelise into a sticky, charred crust. This recipe is ideal for outdoor entertaining, but the ribs can also be prepared under a kitchen grill if the weather turns. Serve them alongside a crisp green salad or roasted root vegetables for a complete, nutritious meal that balances smoky and zesty notes beautifully.
