Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 2 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and rub the dry spice mixture evenly onto all sides of the ribs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary, until browned.
Transfer the seared ribs to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke (if using). Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Brush a generous amount of the barbecue sauce over the ribs, coating them evenly on top and sides.
Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Remove the foil, brush the ribs with more barbecue sauce, and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized.
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with any remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
