Method
Preparing the Ribs
- 1
Season the Ribs
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the St. Louis ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Let the ribs sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

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

Bake the Ribs
Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.
