EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS



Easy Oven Baked Ribs image

When I can keep hubby from charring (burning) some ribs on the grill, I make them in the oven. These are so moist and tender, you will probably never want to grill them again. I've used many types of ribs... Baby Backs, Spare Ribs (St. Louis), or Country Style (which are not really "ribs" as they are cut from the Shoulder). My favorite rub to use is Recipe #510906 and hubby loves my Recipe #510968 on them, but use whatever your family favs are of both. If you decide to use either of my rub or sauce recipes, please feel free to add a review to those recipes, as well. This recipe is just basically a technique to baking ribs indoors. I hope you enjoy these easy, no fuss ribs. *Note: Ribs, Rub & Sauce measurements are only estimates... I just buy them, rub them, sauce them and eat them! :)

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 -5 lbs pork ribs
3 tablespoons dry rub seasonings (use your favorite, I use Rustic Spice Rub (Bulk))
1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite, I use BBQ Sauce: Sweet and Spicy)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 250* F.
  • Season all sides of the ribs with your favorite rub.
  • Using a 13x9x2 baking dish (or most likely a larger 15x11x2), place the ribs into the pan, do not over crowd. If using Baby Back slabs, place bone side facing up. If using individual Country Style (St. Louis), lay on their side.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and place on center rack of pre-heated oven. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours (depending on the size of the ribs you are using).
  • Remove the ribs from oven and drain any grease from dish; reserving the foil for later use (waste not, want not). Flip the ribs over (meaty side up) and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and return the dish to the oven (un-covered) for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Once done, remove the ribs to a platter, loosely tent the platter with the reserved foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This step is important -- the resting period gives the ribs time to re-distribute their juices, just like a steak would).
  • Enjoy!

2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Prepare the ribs properly. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
  • Use a good rub. A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the ribs before cooking. There are many different recipes for rubs, so experiment to find one that you like.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low. The best way to cook spare ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs regularly. Basting the ribs with a mixture of your favorite barbecue sauce or apple cider vinegar will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving. Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Spare ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make fall-off-the-bone spare ribs at home. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give spare ribs a try!
