Oven Baked Ribs
Description
Using a full rack of pork baby back ribs, the ribs are first scored to loosen any tough membranes on the bone side. They are generously rubbed with a grill seasoning blend that imparts smoky, sweet, or savory notes depending on the seasoning chosen. Wrapped tightly in foil, ribs cook slowly at 300°F for 2 to 2½ hours, which breaks down connective tissue and renders the meat tender.
After slow baking, the ribs are removed and basted with BBQ sauce on one side. They are briefly broiled for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce’s sugars and create a sticky, browned glaze. The process is repeated on the other side for complete coverage. The ribs are then sliced for serving.
These ribs are suitable for a hearty main dish and can be paired with traditional BBQ sides such as coleslaw or baked beans. The slow baking method offers a reliable way to achieve tender, flavorful ribs without grilling.
Ingredients
- 1 rack pork baby back ribs
- 3-4 tablespoons grill seasoning such as McCormick Smokehouse Maple Seasoning
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce such as Stubbs Original
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300° F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Lay ribs onto the baking sheet. Score any tough membranes closest to the bony side of the ribs. Rub generously with grill seasoning. Cover with more foil and crimp edges of the bottom piece with the top piece.
- Bake 2-2 1/2 hours or until thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Remove from oven and baste one side of ribs with bbq sauce. Broil 2-3 minutes or until the sauce starts to brown. Flip over, baste the other side and broil again.
- Remove from oven, add more bbq sauce as needed, cut into pieces and serve.
