Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef back ribs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the beef ribs by sliding a knife underneath and peeling it off. This will help make the ribs more tender.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and brown sugar until you have a well-combined rub.

Step 4

Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs, making sure to coat all sides thoroughly.

Step 5

Generously season the ribs with the prepared spice rub, pressing the mixture into the meat to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Wrap the ribs tightly in the aluminum foil, placing them on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 8

Unwrap the ribs and drain any excess juices from the foil.

Step 9

Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.

Step 10

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or use your oven's broiler).

Step 11

Carefully transfer the ribs to the grill and cook for another 5-10 minutes on each side. This step is to caramelize the barbecue sauce and add a smoky flavor. If using a broiler, place ribs on a wire rack positioned over a baking tray, about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 12

Remove from heat and allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before slicing them between each bone to serve.

Step 13

Serve the barbecue beef ribs hot, with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
