BBQ St. Louis Pork Ribs Recipe

Prepare the Ribs

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Season the Ribs

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture all over the ribs.

Cook the Ribs

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Glaze the Ribs

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush BBQ sauce on both sides of the ribs and return to the oven, uncovered, for another 30 minutes.

Prepare the Potatoes

Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges or sticks. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Season the Fries

Drain and dry the potatoes. Toss them with olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and salt until evenly coated.

Bake the Fries

Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.

Prepare the Vegetables

Shred the cabbage and carrot using a mandoline or grater. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Make the Dressing

In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Combine and Chill

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss until well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
