Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large Dutch oven, add chopped onion.
- Then, mix together dry rub mix. Rub on both sides of ribs.
- If ribs are too long to fit in Dutch oven, then carefully cut into 2 or 3 pieces that will fit inside.
- Once seasoned and cut, layer ribs in Dutch oven.
- Pour beef broth and BBQ sauce on top.
- Place Dutch oven in the oven. No need to cover the Dutch oven.
- Bake for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until ribs are tender.
- Finally, remove ribs from Dutch oven. Top with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Notes
- I used a 7 quart cast iron skillet.
- Rub dry rub all over both sides of the ribs.
- I used pork baby back ribs for this recipe.
- Chicken broth or another broth can replace beef broth.
- Any BBQ sauce works. I love Primal Kitchen Foods for a Whole30 option and Sweet Baby Ray's for a full sugar version!
- Ribs are done cooking at 145 degrees Fahrenheit, but they will still be tough. Cook until internal temperature reaches between 195 degrees and 200 degrees for tender meat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, place ribs on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 7 to 8 minutes or until warmed through.
