Ingredients

• 2 racks Pork back ribs
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups Ketchup
• 1 cup Water
• 0.25 cup White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by peeling off the thin membrane on the back of each rack for a more tender result. Use a paper towel to grip it and pull it off.

Step 3

Season the ribs lightly with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring they're evenly coated on both sides.

Step 4

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet to retain moisture, and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they're tender and almost falling off the bone.

Step 6

While the ribs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, ketchup, water, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and liquid smoke (if using).

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

After 2.5 hours, carefully take the ribs out of the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Alternatively, you can use a grill at medium-high heat for the final step.

Step 9

Remove the foil and brush the ribs generously with the prepared sauce on both sides.

Step 10

Return the ribs to the 400°F oven (or place them on the grill) for another 15–20 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.

Step 11

Once done, remove the ribs from the oven or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing them into individual bones.

Step 12

Serve the ribs hot alongside your favorite sides. Enjoy!
