  • Place ribs in a large stockpot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • When the ribs are about halfway finished, combine ketchup, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, steak sauce, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
  • Drain ribs; cut between the bones. Place into a baking pan and pour sauce over top. Cover the pan with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 30 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
