Ribs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking method will help tenderize the ribs.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it's still attached. This helps the seasoning penetrate the meat better.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil. This will help retain moisture during cooking.

  2. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

  3. 6

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully unwrap the foil, and brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.

  4. 7

    Broil for Finish

    Place the ribs under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning, until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after broiling, then slice between the bones and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
