Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce (your favorite)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the ribs. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs by sliding a butter knife under it and peeling it off. This ensures tender ribs. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Step 2: Apply the dry rub. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs. Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.
Step 3: Finish with barbecue sauce. Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and discard any juices. Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce. For a caramelized finish, either place the ribs under the broiler on high for 5-7 minutes, or grill them over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side. Serve hot and enjoy.
