Description
Tender, smoky BBQ ribs that are perfect for any gathering. Slow-cooked until juicy and fall-off-the-bone, with a flavorful dry rub and a sticky glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Ribs:
- 2 racks Baby Back or St. Louis-style ribs
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Ribs: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the bone side of the ribs. In a bowl, mix the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
- Cook the Ribs: Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
- Glaze the Ribs: Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Unwrap the ribs and brush with barbecue sauce. Return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize.
- Serve: Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce on the side.
