Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the ribs evenly.

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle olive oil over the ribs to help the seasoning stick.

  4. 4

    Grill or Bake

    Place the ribs on the grill or in a baking dish if using the oven. Cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours, basting with apple cider vinegar every 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Apply Barbecue Sauce

    During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, allowing it to caramelize.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once done, remove the ribs from the heat, let them rest for 10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
