Ribs

Method

Prepare the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring they are fully sealed. Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until they are tender. You can check for tenderness by inserting a fork into the meat; it should easily pull away from the bone.

Make the BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix all ingredients.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly.

Glaze and Finish

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Glaze the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them from the foil. Brush a generous amount of the BBQ sauce over the ribs on both sides.

  3. 8

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the glazed ribs on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-10 minutes on each side, brushing with additional BBQ sauce every few minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and slightly charred.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
