Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 0.5 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.
In a small bowl, combine the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper (if using), honey, and olive oil. Mix until a smooth mustard glaze is formed.
Rub the mustard glaze generously all over the ribs, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet with the meaty side facing up.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 3 hours. This slow-cooking process will ensure they become tender and juicy.
After 3 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil to expose the ribs.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the ribs with any remaining mustard glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
Place the uncovered ribs back into the oven and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start to caramelize and develop a golden crust.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones.
Serve the ribs hot with extra mustard glaze on the side, if desired. Enjoy your Marvelous Mustard Ribs!
