Method
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
Pat the beef ribs dry with kitchen paper.
Rub lightly with olive oil.
Mix together all the Texas rub ingredients.
Coat the ribs thoroughly on all sides.
Place into the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer.
Cook for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the ribs cook, combine the BBQ sauce, bourbon, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
During the final 8 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs generously with the glaze.
Return to the fryer and allow the glaze to darken and caramelise.
Cook until the ribs are tender, sticky, and heavily coloured around the edges.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Pile onto a tray and serve immediately.
