Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the beef ribs by sliding a knife underneath and peeling it off. This will help make the ribs more tender.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and brown sugar until you have a well-combined rub.
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs, making sure to coat all sides thoroughly.
Generously season the ribs with the prepared spice rub, pressing the mixture into the meat to ensure it adheres well.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the aluminum foil, placing them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Unwrap the ribs and drain any excess juices from the foil.
Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or use your oven's broiler).
Carefully transfer the ribs to the grill and cook for another 5-10 minutes on each side. This step is to caramelize the barbecue sauce and add a smoky flavor. If using a broiler, place ribs on a wire rack positioned over a baking tray, about 6 inches from the heat source.
Remove from heat and allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before slicing them between each bone to serve.
Serve the barbecue beef ribs hot, with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
