OVEN BARBECUED ST. LOUIS STYLE RIBS
BEGIN with the sauce recipe several hours before you plan serving. The first steps are making a BBQ sauce. It takes some time to thicken. This is the only way to make ribs without a grill. The sauce recipe delivers a sweet-sour tang with a little bite from the vinegar. The ribs always turn out "fallin' off the bone" tender. Do not be afraid of the amount of ingredients in this recipe. The BBQ sauce can be used on anything. (For an easier time, use a commercial sauce.) After some reviews I have read, I need to revise my recipe. Boiling or simmering the sauce helps to draw flavor by allowing it to thicken or cook off the liquid leaving a condensed sauce. This is called "reducing." You are literally making your own BBQ sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Lay the ribs onto the prepared sheet pan and season on both sides with salt. With the meat side of the ribs face down, brush with half of the mustard and sprinkle over half of the seasoning mix. Turn the ribs over, so the meat side now faces up, and use the remaining mustard and seasoning mix on the other side. Bake the ribs meat-side up until they are very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Remove from the oven and spread the ribs with half of the BBQ sauce. Return the sheet pan to the oven for another 30 minutes, allowing the sauce on top to become sticky and delicious.
- Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Set a smoker to 225 degrees F.
- Combine the paprika, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg and cayenne in a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder is formed, approximately 30 seconds.
- Pat the ribs dry and turn bone-side up. Trim excess fat and, if one end of the ribs is especially narrow, trim meat and bone to ensure even cooking. Remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs by inserting a rounded utensil, an upside-down spoon works well, between the membrane and the meat at one end of the slab. Carefully work the spoon under the membrane to loosen but not tear. Once enough has been loosened, use a paper towel to hold onto the membrane as you slowly pull it down the slab to remove.
- Sprinkle the ribs on both sides with the salt and brush both sides with the mustard. Sprinkle two-thirds of the spice mixture on the meat side of the ribs and the remaining third on the bone side.
- Once the smoker has reached 225 degrees F, add the wood chips or chunks and the ribs to the smoker.
- Smoke for 4 to 5 hours then test for doneness. There are four criteria that should be met in order for ribs to be done. First, the internal temperature of the meat should be 185 to 190 degrees F. Second, pick up each slab from the center with tongs and it should droop into a u-shape and crack slightly. Third, while holding with the tongs, and bouncing gently, the surface of the ribs should crack slightly. Lastly, the meat should pull easily off the bone but not fall off. If ribs pass all tests, remove them from the smoker and wrap in heavy-duty foil and rest for 15 minutes. If not, continue smoking for 45 minutes to 1 hour and test again until done.

SWEETIE PIE'S TENDER OVEN-BAKED ST. LOUIS-STYLE BBQ RIBS
Folks in St. Louis pride themselves on their ribs. You could say it's the city's signature dish. Growing up in the projects like we did, we didn't have a barbecue pit or a smoker, so when we wanted ribs, my mom came up with this way of doing them in the oven. Another way she'd make her ribs was to cut the rack into small slabs of two or three ribs, marinate and season them, and then fry them up-just like you'd do a pork chop. Serve with potato salad or mac and cheese.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- 2. Wash the ribs under cold running water and pat them dry.
- 3. Put the ribs in a large deep dish and pour the pineapple juice over it. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- 4. Whisk together the salt, pepper, sugar, and paprika in a large baking dish. Roll the ribs in the mixture, then arrange them in the baking dish. Add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
- 5. Bake the ribs for about 1 hour or until they are no longer pink when the meat is sliced away from the bone, then remove them from the oven and drain. Add the barbecue sauce and toss the ribs evenly to coat.
- 6. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and return the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality St. Louis-style pork ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will also make them more tender.
- Season the ribs generously with your favorite rub. A good rub will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs and will also help to create a nice crust.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low. This will help to tenderize the ribs and will also help to develop their flavor.
- Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce during the last hour of cooking. This will help to keep the ribs moist and will also add a delicious flavor.
- Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs and will also make them easier to eat.
