Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels. Rub salt and black pepper evenly over the ribs on both sides.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

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

  3. 3

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil, placing them on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the wrapped ribs in the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened.

Basting and Finishing

  1. 7

    Remove Ribs from Oven

    Take the ribs out of the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Discard the foil and any rendered fat.

  2. 8

    Baste with BBQ Sauce

    Brush a generous amount of the BBQ sauce over the ribs, coating them evenly.

  3. 9

    Broil the Ribs

    Place the ribs back in the oven on a baking sheet and broil for 5-10 minutes, watching closely until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then cut into portions and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
