Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Ribs (pork or beef)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender results. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the dry rub.
Rub olive oil onto both sides of the ribs. Generously apply the dry rub, coating the ribs thoroughly.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet to trap the moisture, and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bone.
When the ribs are nearly done, preheat your grill to medium heat or turn your oven to broil.
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and transfer them to the grill or a baking pan (if broiling). Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Grill or broil the ribs for 5-10 minutes, flipping once and brushing with additional barbecue sauce, until caramelized and slightly charred.
Remove the ribs from the grill or oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve with your favorite sides.
