Pork Ribs

Sauce (Optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If desired, remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for better seasoning absorption.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.

  3. 3

    Apply the Dry Rub

    Generously apply the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours to enhance flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 135°C (275°F).

  2. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. This low and slow cooking method will make the ribs tender.

  3. 6

    Grill or Broil (Optional)

    After baking, you can grill or broil the ribs for an additional 10-15 minutes to caramelize the exterior. If using BBQ sauce, brush it on during the last few minutes of grilling.

Serving

  1. 7

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. Then, slice between the bones to serve.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the ribs with your favorite sides and extra BBQ sauce if desired.
