Method

BBQ Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Rub the pork ribs with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet and cover them with aluminum foil. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender. Remove from the oven and brush with BBQ sauce.

  3. 3

    Finish on the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the ribs for about 5-10 minutes on each side, basting with more BBQ sauce, until caramelized and slightly charred.
