BBQ Ribs Recipe

 

Ingredients Summary:

 

  • Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs): 2 racks (about 4-5 lbs)
  • Brown sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Paprika: 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic powder: 1 tablespoon
  • Onion powder: 1 tablespoon
  • Cayenne pepper: 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper: To taste
  • BBQ sauce: 1 cup (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions Overview:

 

  1. Prepare the Ribs: Preheat the oven to 275°F. Remove the thin membrane on the back of the ribs for better tenderness. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
  2. Bake the Ribs: Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
  3. Grill or Broil the Ribs: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or use the broiler. Remove the ribs from the foil and brush generously with BBQ sauce. Grill or broil the ribs for 5-10 minutes on each side, basting with more sauce, until they are caramelized and slightly charred.
  4. Serve: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with extra BBQ sauce.
