Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the dry rub by mixing together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs for better seasoning and tenderness. Use a knife to loosen one corner of the membrane, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off completely.
Brush both sides of the ribs with olive oil to help the dry rub adhere.
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the prepared dry rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the edges to create a packet. Place the wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil packets. Brush both sides of the ribs with barbecue sauce.
For a finishing touch, place the ribs on a grill preheated to medium-high heat or under your oven's broiler. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, flipping once and brushing with more barbecue sauce, until the sauce is caramelized and slightly charred.
Transfer the finished ribs to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, and enjoy!
