Ribs

Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until tender.

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.

Finishing the Ribs

  1. 6

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush a generous amount of the BBQ sauce over the ribs.

  2. 7

    Broil the Ribs

    Switch your oven setting to broil. Return the ribs to the oven and broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

  3. 8

    Serve

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