Put some big beefy ribs in a piping-hot cast-iron pot and in as little as an hour, the ribs will emerge with a deep, dark brown crust and a meaty, tender chew. Like slow cooker Texas Beef Ribs, there’s no need to finish Hot Pot Ribs under a broiler unless you’re brushing on a sauce. They also reheat well in a dry slow cooker or in a 350°F oven wrapped in foil. You’ll also get a nice batch of beef broth out of the deal. After it cools, chill the broth in the fridge to congeal the fat so you can discard it easily. Pour the warmed broth over the reheated ribs or freeze it to use in other recipes.
