BBQ OVEN ROAST PORK RIBS
The St. Louis cut spare rib is a great meaty cut, but this recipe will work equally well with baby back ribs. If you want to offer a bit of variance to your guests, make the Sriracha-Hoisin rib glaze as well and serve up a sweeter rib (this one) and a spicier rib (the sriracha-hoisin) to please the crowd. Nutrition included calculations with the Bourbon BBQ sauce.

Steps:
- *This can be done ahead of time or while the ribs bake for the initial hour. Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan (apple juice, maple syrup, bourbon, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and salt). On medium-high heat, bring to a simmer then cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside until ready to sauce ribs.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). If needed, remove the silver skin from the bone side of the ribs (some butchers will have this already removed for you.) See write up above recipe for photo instruction.
- Cut the rib rack in half and place the ribs, meaty side up, in a 9x11 inch baking dish (or other appropriately sized dish). Pour the apple juice over the ribs and then season both sides with salt & pepper. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 2 hours. Remove from oven, remove foil, and brush both sides of the ribs with sauce.
- Return to oven uncovered. Bake for another 30-45 minutes.
- Remove ribs from oven. Brush the ribs a with a little more sauce, slice & serve (for a little extra crust follow next step before slicing).
- Optional for a little extra crust - Heat oven to broil and place oven rack about 6 inches (15cm) down from the top. Brush ribs with glaze again and broil for 2 minutes or until slightly singed. Slice & serve.

TENDER, EASY RIBS
You won't believe how easy it is to make restaurant style ribs at home. People are always so impressed when we make these and they are too easy! The rub paste I just throw together till it smells "right", please adjust to your individual tastes or use your favorite rub (also very good with just salt and pepper). We make as many as 8 racks at time so increase as desired.

Steps:
- Lay each rack out on a heavy duty foil sheet.
- Mix Rib Rub into a thick paste and use your hands to rub it into the meat. You want to rub a thin layer all over without leaving any gritty deposits. It will stain the meat a rich red color. Work the rub into the meat for at least a minute (I hate doing this but it must be done!). Store extra rub in the refrigerator.
- Wrap tightly in foil. I lay the racks vertically on long vertical sheets. I fold over the top and bottom, then bring the sides up so they are even and fold over and crease, then roll down until the seam is flush against the meat. Be careful not to allow the bones to puncture the foil (I usually use two sheets to prevent this) all your good juices will leak out!
- Refrigerate until ready to start cooking (the longer they sit the stronger the flavors will be, however you can cook straight away if desired), you can do this the day before if desired or at home if taking to a picnic or campsite.
- When ready to start cooking place all foil wrapped racks on a rimmed baking sheet or large roasting pan, the packets will leak and your oven will be a big mess otherwise. You can pile them all on, they don't have to be arranged.
- Bake at 300°F for 2 1/2 hours, I have cooked as many as 8 racks for that same time without any difference, although if your ribs are very thick you may want to increase the cook time a bit or if you just want to delay you can cook them at 250°F for four hours.
- At this point, remove a rack and careful unroll the foil to check if they are done, the bones should be loose in the meat (you should be able to remove a bone just by pulling it with your fingers). If they are still tight, put it back in for another half an hour or so, keep checking.
- Transfer finished racks (carefully!) to the grill. Baste each side of each rack with barbecue sauce (this rub works will with a slightly-sweet mesquite) and finish them over a high flame for about 10 minutes, get a good crust, be careful not to let it stick.
- If you don't have access to a grill you can use your broiler to crisp them up.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs. Look for ribs that have good marbling and are not too lean.
- Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the rub penetrate the meat. You can also trim excess fat if desired.
- Use a flavorful rub: Create a rub using a combination of spices, herbs, and brown sugar. Apply the rub generously to the ribs, ensuring that all sides are coated.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low: The ideal cooking temperature for ribs is between 225°F and 250°F. Cook the ribs for several hours, or until the meat is tender and fall-off-the-bone.
- Baste the ribs regularly: During the cooking process, baste the ribs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, water, and brown sugar. This will help keep the ribs moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
By following these tips, you can create tender, moist, and delicious BBQ pork ribs that will be a hit at your next cookout or party. With a little patience and effort, you can master the art of making fall-off-the-bone ribs that everyone will love.
