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
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub.
- Rub the dry blend generously over the ribs, coating both sides well.
- Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet and cover them tightly with another piece of aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.
- While the ribs are baking, prepare your homemade BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce, along with additional seasonings as desired.
- Once the ribs are fork-tender, carefully remove them from the oven and baste generously with the BBQ sauce.
- 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.
- 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!
