Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.
Rub the ribs with olive oil to help the seasoning stick, then generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub.
Place the ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil, creating a sealed pouch for steaming.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Return the ribs to the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for an additional 20 minutes to caramelize the barbecue sauce.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
