Ingredients

• 2 racks pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the ribs with olive oil to help the seasoning stick, then generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub.

Step 5

Place the ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil, creating a sealed pouch for steaming.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.

Step 8

Return the ribs to the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for an additional 20 minutes to caramelize the barbecue sauce.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
