Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-carb barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
Pat the beef ribs dry with paper towels, then rub the olive oil over the ribs ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the dry rub evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing the spices into the meat gently with your hands.
Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for about 3.5 to 4 hours, or until they are tender and the meat pulls away easily from the bones.
Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and carefully open the foil.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).
Brush both sides of the ribs generously with low-carb barbecue sauce.
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve these delicious keto barbecue ribs with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
