Crockpot Ginger Garlic Ribs
I am always looking for new recipes for dinner. I love trying new things and my husband is just happy I make dinner every night. He’s a huge fan of meat especially from Skyview and we had just purchased a beautiful rack of ribs so I had to come up with something.
In a dish I mixed together the ginger, pepper, and onion powder. Then I added the garlic and mixed it up again. Then I added soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and honey. whisk to combine. This sauce was so good that next time I’ll be doubling it. After the sauce was completed I split it in half.
I made a rub with a dry rub of brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt.
Then I covered the ribs in the rub. The mix smells really good 🙂
I poured the sauce over the ribs and placed them in my crockpot. I cooked them on low for about 6 hours until the meat was tender.
With the other half of my sauce I heated it on medium heat until it started boiling. In a separate bowl I mixed the cornstarch and water together and added it to the saucepan slowly to thicken it.
After the ribs were cooked I removed them from the slow cooker and placed them on a tin foil lined broil pan, meaty side up. I brushed a little more of the sauce from the saucepan and left the rest for serving. Broil in the oven for a few minutes or until it looks sticky and broiled. Allow to rest, tented with foil for 3-5 minutes and serve.
I served the ribs over rice with the sauce. They were so good!

You had me at garlic! I am a huge garlic user. These do look delicious. I’d like to try this at one of our barbeques. This recipe doesn’t sound hard. I pinned it.

I had no idea that ribs could be cooked in a crock pot!
Wow, these look amazingly delicious! When you say next time you’d double the sauce, would you double the sauce for both steps or use the extra for just one of the steps?
I doubled it for both steps. 🙂
So good for potlucks .
I want to eat it with rice.
my husband will really love this recipe!

I love any recipe that uses my slow cooker. I would have some mashed potatoes on the side of this with a spicy gravy too.

This recipe mixes so many things that I like – crockpots, ribs, rice and a kind of chinese type sauce. I just bookmarked this page, I will be trying this for sure. I’ve never been able to ‘invent’ recipes because when I’ve tried things didn’t taste so great. I’m really glad you have the skill and put this one together.
My Grandmother was from Slovenia and that’s the way she always cooked. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her 🙂
These ribs look and sound really good. Must try your recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! My newest crockpot recipe. Well done~!

Yes, at last a rib sauce that I like! I’m not into BBQ sauce at all and some other recipes are far too sweet, but this sounds just right!
