Ingredients
To prepare your tender ribs, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 racks of ribs (baby back, spareribs, or St. Louis-style)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to achieve mouthwatering ribs:
1. Prepare Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with aluminum foil. This will help with clean-up and ensure even cooking.
2. Prep the Ribs
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Carefully slide your fingers around to loosen it and use a paper towel for a better grip. This step is crucial for tender ribs.
3. Season the Ribs
- In a small bowl, mix together your dry rub ingredients: smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground mustard.
- Generously apply this mixture over the ribs, ensuring an even coat.
4. Bake the Ribs
- Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. The goal is to cook until the ribs are tender and juicy.
5. Glaze and Broil
- After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and take off the aluminum foil.
- Brush the barbecue sauce over the ribs. You can use your favorite sauce or make one from scratch for a personal touch.
- Finally, broil the ribs for 3–5 minutes until the barbecue sauce bubbles and caramelizes, adding that irresistible sticky texture.
Key Takeaways
- Low and Slow: Cooking the ribs at a low temperature ensures they become incredibly tender.
- Versatile: This recipe works for various types of ribs, allowing you to choose your favorite or whatever is available.
- Dry Rub: The combination of spices in the dry rub adds layers of flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the ribs.
- Broiling for Finish: The short broil at the end caramelizes the sauce and provides a lovely finish, making the ribs look and taste fantastic.
By following these easy steps, you’ll have a delicious meal that’s sure to impress family and friends. So gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and enjoy the cooking process!
