Fall Off the Bone Ribs
Tender oven-baked pork ribs finished under the broiler with caramelized BBQ sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 rack pork ribs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin
Tools
- Baking sheet
- Aluminum foil
- Small mixing bowl
- Brush or spoon for sauce
- Oven with broiler
Directions
Prepare the ribs
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Mix all the dry rub ingredients together, then coat the ribs evenly. Wrap them tightly in aluminum foil with the meaty side facing down.
Bake low and slow
Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and cook on the middle rack for about 3 hours, or until the meat feels loose from the bone.
Broil and glaze
Remove the ribs from the oven and set the broiler to high. Open the foil and coat the underside of the ribs with BBQ sauce. Broil until the sauce begins to caramelize.
Finish and serve
Carefully flip the ribs, coat the top with more BBQ sauce, and broil again until caramelized without burning. Remove, cut into portions, and serve.
Notes
- Keep a close eye during broiling to avoid burning the sauce.
- Let the ribs rest a few minutes before cutting.
- Use your favorite BBQ sauce for different flavor profiles.
