Ribs

Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for slow cooking the ribs.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the pork ribs.

  3. 3

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the wrapped ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

Grilling the Ribs

  1. 7

    Prepare the Grill

    While the sauce is simmering, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are done baking, carefully unwrap them from the foil. Brush a generous amount of the BBQ sauce over both sides of the ribs.

  3. 9

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the glazed ribs on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with more BBQ sauce, until they are caramelized and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones to serve. Enjoy your BBQ ribs!
