DAD'S OVEN BAKED RIBS



Dad's Oven Baked Ribs image

These are the ribs that my Dad has cooked for years. My friends used to make sure they came around whenever they heard that he was going to be baking some and as a result he usually made several batches at a time. I recently ran into some old buddies and they asked for the recipe so I thought I would post it here. These ribs are messy, sticky and the meat falls off the bone. I wouldn't want them any other way.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 lbs pork back ribs
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped onions
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
3 lemon slices

Steps:

  • Cut 4 lbs of pork back ribs into serving size pieces.
  • Simmer the ribs, covered, in enough water to cover for about 1 hour or until nearly tender.
  • About 10-20 minutes or so before the ribs are done simmering melt the butter in a sauce pan; add crushed garlic and cook 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the sauce pan and bring to boiling.
  • Drain ribs and place in a shallow baking pan.
  • Pour boiling sauce over the ribs.
  • Bake at 350 F degrees for 20 minutes, basting often with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for grilling, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs: Generously season the ribs with a rub made from your favorite spices and herbs.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The key to tender, juicy ribs is to cook them low and slow. Cook the ribs over indirect heat at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Glaze the ribs: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, glaze the ribs with your favorite sauce. This will help to caramelize the ribs and give them a delicious glaze.
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the ribs to reabsorb some of the juices and make them even more tender.

Conclusion:

With these tips, you'll be able to make delicious ribs that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
