Ribs
Ponzu BBQ Sauce
Method
Preparing the Ribs
- 1
Season the Ribs
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the baby back ribs, making sure to cover all sides. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.

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