Believe it or not, all you need to make delicious, fall-off-the-bone-tender ribs at home is an oven and a few spices. These oven baked barbecue pork ribs are so delicious!
Lately the best sales have been BOGO deals and cash back on all things Pork Ribs, so naturally that is what we are making today. It’s best to try to get the rub on and let them marinate for a day or so, but it will be ok if you don’t have time.
If you don’t happen to have any ready made BBQ sauce, here’s a recipe for Tomato Barbecue Sauce.
Most people here make Potato Salad* and Baked Beans*…maybe some Corn on the Cob* to go with these. You can also just cook up a pot of Jasmine Rice or throw some potatoes in the oven with the ribs to bake alongside..
As always, * = will eventually post this recipe.
Oven Baked Barbecue Pork Ribs
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. Brown Sugar
- 1 T. Smoked Paprika
- 1 t. Lawry's Salt / Sea Salt
- 1 T. Creole Seasoning
- 1 t. Sumac (If you have this in your kitchen, high five. Don't worry, most people don't. It won't break the recipe.)
- 1/4 t. Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Pork Back Ribs (I cut mine in half to make 4 so they would fit in the skillet.)
- 1/2 c. Sweet Baby Ray's or whatever BBQ Sauce you have
Instructions
- Combine sugar and spices.
- Rub mixture on all sides of 2 rib racks.
- If you remembered to do this ahead of time, refrigerate overnight. If you didn't just move on, it will be fine.
- Preheat oven to 300*.
- Wrap ribs in foil and seal well.
- Place ribs concave side up (it should rock like a little) in iron skillet or on baking sheet.
- Bake 5-6 hours.
- Remove foil.
- Brush with BBQ sauce.
- Increase oven temperature to 350*.
- Bake another 30 minutes to 1 hour, uncovered, until ribs develop a nice bark.
- You may want to brush with BBQ sauce a few more times before they are done.
