Combine all ingredients except ribs and guar gum to make the marinade.
Place ribs in a glass container and cover with the marinade. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
Oven Directions
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place the ribs and marinade in a dutch oven and cover with the lid. Bake, covered, for 2.5 hours or until very tender.
Remove the ribs to a serving platter. Place the dutch oven over medium heat and bring the liquid to a simmer. Sprinkle the guar gum over the simmering liquid. Whisk constantly until thickened. Top the ribs with the sauce and serve.
Instant Pot Directions
Place the ribs and marinade in the Instant Pot and cover with the lid. Switch the vent to sealed and cook under high pressure for 20 minutes or until very tender. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
Remove the ribs to a serving platter and switch the Instant Pot to saute mode. Sprinkle the guar gum over the simmering liquid. Whisk constantly until the sauce has thickened. Top the ribs with the sauce and serve.
Slow Cooker Directions
Place the ribs and marinade in a slow cooker and cover with the lid. Cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4 hours) or until very tender.
Remove the ribs to a serving platter. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a skillet, place on the stove over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle the guar gum over the simmering liquid. Whisk constantly until thickened. Top the ribs with the sauce and serve
