My recipe is SO easy, requiring little advance preparation (defrosting, marination, etc.) or in-process oversight.

To start, just throw the bare ribs into a 325F oven for three hours.

Afterwards, the ribs will become fall-off-the-bone tender, mahogany-colored, and caramelized. Sprinkle amply
with a mix of instant coffee powder, cinnamon, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt.
Return them to the oven for another 30 minutes, in order for these flavors to heat-infuse into the meat. The
final steps are a brushing of ketchup, mustard, honey, and red wine, plus 5 minutes over the grill, forming an
unctuous, complex lacquer.

By intermittently pouring some water onto their oven rack, you can not only prevent a messy clean-up, but
enable the drippings to create a rich dipping sauce.
