Here’s a delicious recipe for BBQ Back Ribs that’s tender, flavorful, and perfect for grilling or baking:
🍖 BBQ Back Ribs
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork back ribs (about 2–3 lbs each)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Ribs
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender meat.
- Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne to make a dry rub.
- Rub generously on both sides of the ribs.
2. Cook the Ribs (Oven Method)
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Wrap ribs in foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
3. Finish with BBQ Sauce
- Remove foil, brush ribs with BBQ sauce.
- Broil in the oven for 5–10 minutes, or grill over medium heat for a few minutes per side until sauce caramelizes.
4. Serve
- Let ribs rest 5 minutes before slicing between bones.
- Serve with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or baked beans.
✨ Tips for Extra Flavor
- Marinate overnight with the dry rub for deeper flavor.
- Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or beer in the foil for extra tenderness.
- Use a smoker if you want authentic smoky flavor.
