Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the dry rub penetrate and improve tenderness.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dry Rub

    In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and ground mustard. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Apply the Dry Rub

    Generously rub the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, ensuring to coat both sides thoroughly. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 5

    Prepare Ribs for Baking

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of aluminum foil to keep the moisture in.

  3. 6

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily.

  4. 7

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    While the ribs are baking, mix the BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar in a bowl. This adds tanginess to the sauce and will enhance the flavor of the ribs.

  5. 8

    Finish the Ribs

    After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the BBQ sauce mixture generously over the ribs.

  6. 9

    Broil the Ribs

    Place the ribs under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. This will caramelize the BBQ sauce and add a nice glaze.

Serving

  1. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after broiling. Slice between the bones and serve with any remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
