Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients for the dry rub together in a small bowl.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare your large dutch oven by lining it with aluminum foil on the bottom of the pot.
- Dry off the pork ribs with a paper towel. With another paper towel or rib membrane removing tool, get a secure grip on the edge of the membrane on the back of the ribs and firmly peel it off of the ribs.
- Use a sharp chef's knife to cut between two ribs, splitting the rack in half so the ribs fit in your dutch oven.
- Use clean hands to cover every part of the ribs in the dry rub.
- Pour the water or broth into the pot, and place the ribs into the dutch oven as well. Put the lid on and place into the oven for 2 hours and 30 minutes at 325 degrees F until the ribs are cooked through, around 195 degrees F if you're using a meat thermometer.
- Remove the oven baked ribs from the dutch oven and transfer them to a baking dish. Generously brush on the barbecue sauce then put the ribs in the oven for another 30 minutes.
- Pull the ribs from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Slice between the ribs with your chef's knife and serve with classic cookout sides.
Notes
- To ensure beautifully tender ribs, use a meat thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 195-202 degrees F, know that those babies are ready!
- Store leftover ribs in an airtight container or zip top bag in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat these ribs, wrap them in aluminum foil, place them back into a 325 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes until they're warmed through.
- This recipe can be made with baby back ribs or country style ribs, though the country-style ribs will have a shorter cooking time.
- Dry rub for the ribs can be homemade or store bought.
- This can be done in the slow cooker! You're going to want to cook it on low for about 6 hours until the meat is tender.
- Pour in chicken broth instead of water if you'd like for even more flavor.
