Description

Savor the flavor of family-style BBQ Ribs, baked to perfection with a luscious homemade sauce that’s sure to become a family favorite.


Ingredients

  • Pork Ribs: The star of the show! Choose baby back or spare ribs for tender, fall-off-the-bone goodness.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps caramelize the glaze during cooking.
  • Smoked Paprika: Provides a smoky flavor characteristic of great barbecue.
  • Garlic Powder: Adds depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Onion Powder: Enhances the overall taste with its savory notes.
  • Salt and Black Pepper: Essential for seasoning the ribs to enhance their natural flavors.
  • Homemade BBQ Sauce: A mix of ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and additional seasonings that create a thin yet flavorful layer on the ribs while cooking.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub.
  3. Rub the dry blend generously over the ribs, coating both sides well.
  4. Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet and cover them tightly with another piece of aluminum foil.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.
  6. While the ribs are baking, prepare your homemade BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce, along with additional seasonings as desired.
  7. Once the ribs are fork-tender, carefully remove them from the oven and baste generously with the BBQ sauce.
  8. For a caramelized finish, broil the ribs for an additional few minutes in the oven or grill until the sauce is bubbling and slightly charred.
  9. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy your family-style BBQ ribs!

Notes

  • Choose Quality Ribs: Always opt for fresh, high-quality ribs from your butcher or trusted grocery store for the best flavor.
  • Low and Slow: Cooking the ribs low and slow is the key to achieving tenderness—the longer they cook, the more tender they become!
  • Experiment with Sauces: Feel free to add your own twist to the homemade BBQ sauce by incorporating extra spices or sweeteners!
