Oven Baked Ribs

These Oven Baked Ribs rely on slow cooking at low temperature to render a tender rack of pork baby back ribs seasoned with grill rub. The method includes seasoning, covering tightly, and slow baking to ensure tenderness, followed by a brief broiling with BBQ sauce to add caramelized, sticky coating. The ribs develop a tender interior with a flavorful, slightly crispy crust.

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.
