Oven-Smoked Ribs image

It took a few tries, but I finally came up with what I'd call "smoke kissed" ribs in my oven. I started with a dry rub; it's the same one I use every summer, based on a recipe my friend Chris Schlesinger shared with me years ago. Then I used a roasting pan and aluminum foil to cobble together a smoker. It's a rudimentary approach, but one that creates a smoky steam that in turn infuses the meat.

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 rack spareribs, 2 to 3 pounds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 225 degrees. While oven heats, mix together dry ingredients and rub them all over pork.
  • Layer bottom of roasting pan with hickory or oak chips and add enough water to create a shallow pool coating bottom of pan and moistening chips; do not drown them.
  • Put a rack over chips and put rubbed meat on rack. Cover entire roasting pan tightly with foil, making a tent at top so smoke-flavored steam can circulate around meat. Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is cooked and tender.
  • Carefully remove foil from pan and run ribs under broiler, watching carefully, until nicely crisp and browned, about 5 minutes.

The ribs were a bit too fatty for my taste, but overall they were still good.
