To assemble

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Take the ribs out of the fridge 30 minutes before searing.
  3. 3
    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, mustard, rosemary, thyme, salt and black pepper into an even mixture.
