Remove the membrane from the ribs, if present, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Crush the garlic cloves with a mortar and pestle (or in a small bowl) until they form a smooth paste.
Stir in the sweet smoked paprika, dried oregano, coarse salt, and freshly ground black pepper until combined.
Mix in the extra-virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar until a smooth paste forms.
Rub the marinade all over the ribs, massaging it in to ensure it penetrates.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to intensify the flavor.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Place the ribs in a roasting pan or baking dish and pour the beef broth or water into the bottom of the pan.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours at 325°F.
Remove the foil, increase the oven temperature to 400°F, and brush the ribs with honey, if desired.
Bake for an additional 20–30 minutes until golden and crispy, watching carefully so they don’t burn.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
