Pork Ribs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs for better flavor absorption. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Rub the Spice Mix

    Generously rub the dry rub all over the ribs, ensuring an even coating. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).

  2. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down. Cover tightly with another sheet of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.

  3. 6

    Make the Barbecue Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 7

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Brush the barbecue sauce generously over the ribs.

  5. 8

    Finish on the Grill

    Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Transfer the glazed ribs to the grill and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
