Nyama Choma Style Beef Ribs
Inspired by the popular East African 'nyama choma' (grilled meat) tradition, these beef ribs are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then slow-cooked or grilled to tender perfection. While 'nyama choma' is often grilled over open flames, this recipe adapts it for oven baking or grilling, making it accessible for home cooks.
