SIMPLE BBQ RIBS
Country-style ribs are cut from the loin, one of the leanest areas of pork. These ribs are seasoned, boiled until tender, then baked with your favorite barbeque sauce. That's it! Back to simplicity, back to the country life. Sigh.

EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS
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! :)

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!

And I used to think that ribs were such a lotta trouble. A good friend showed me how to fix them this way. We prefer our Andrew P's BBQ sauce (posted here on zaar) with these ribs.

Steps:
- Separate ribs by nicking with a knife and then tearing apart with your hands. They seem to hold more sauce done this way.
- Place ribs in steamer over rapidly boiling water.
- Steam for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cool ribs for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Place ribs on foil lined cookie sheet.
- Brush ribs liberally with sauce; turn ribs over; brush other side.
- Bake about 10 minutes; turn ribs and brush with sauce again.
- Bake a further 10 minutes.
- Repeat last two steps, if necessary.
- Ribs can be done on a grill instead of in an oven; just be sure that it is not too hot.
- NOTE: Frozen ribs can be fixed this way; place frozen ribs straight into the steamer; steam an extra 5 to 10 minutes and, obviously, separate the ribs after they have cooled from the steaming.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Select ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bones.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the sauce and seasonings penetrate the meat. You can also trim off any excess fat.
- Season the ribs: Season the ribs with a generous amount of your favorite seasonings. You can use a simple salt and pepper rub, or you can get creative with different herbs and spices.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low: The key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This can be done in a smoker, oven, or slow cooker.
- Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a flavorful liquid, such as barbecue sauce or apple juice, will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
With a little patience and effort, you can easily make delicious ribs at home. Just follow these tips and you'll be sure to impress your family and friends with your culinary skills. And remember, the best ribs are the ones that you make with love and care.
