Ingredients
- 4 pounds Ribs (pork or beef)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender results. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the dry rub.
Step 4
Rub olive oil onto both sides of the ribs. Generously apply the dry rub, coating the ribs thoroughly.
Step 5
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet to trap the moisture, and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bone.
Step 7
When the ribs are nearly done, preheat your grill to medium heat or turn your oven to broil.
Step 8
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and transfer them to the grill or a baking pan (if broiling). Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Step 9
Grill or broil the ribs for 5-10 minutes, flipping once and brushing with additional barbecue sauce, until caramelized and slightly charred.
Step 10
Remove the ribs from the grill or oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve with your favorite sides.
