Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef back ribs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp thyme dried
- 1 tsp rosemary dried
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- BBQ sauce optional for serving
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the beef back ribs by removing any excess fat and membrane from the bone side. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and all seasonings to create a flavorful rub.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the beef back ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan, bone-side down.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, sealing it tightly. This will help keep the ribs moist during the cooking process.
- Bake the ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours.
- Then, remove the foil and check the ribs. They should be very tender and pull away from the bone easily.
- If you prefer a charred exterior, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and broil for 3 to 5 minutes. This step is optional.
- Lastly, allow the beef back ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving.
