Perfect Oven Baked Barbecue Ribs
Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 4 lb. (1.6 kg) Pork Ribs
  • 2 tsp. Mustard
  • 1/3 tsp. Salt
  • 1/3 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 3/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Coriander
  • 1 tsp. Paprika

BBQ SAUCE

  • 3 tbsp. Ketchup
  • 4 tbsp. Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp. Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika

Instructions

  • Prep the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and gives the ribs better texture as they bake.
  • Flip the ribs bone-side up and remove the thin membrane from the back. Slide a small knife underneath to loosen it, then use a paper towel to grip and pull it off.
  • Lightly coat both sides of the ribs with mustard. Sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, coriander, garlic powder, and paprika, then gently rub the seasoning into the meat.
  • Wrap the ribs tightly with parchment paper and foil. Bake at 300°F (150°C) until the meat is tender and pulls easily from the bone.
  • While the ribs bake, make the barbecue sauce. Combine ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and smoked paprika in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue sauce.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the sauce becomes sticky and lightly caramelized.
  • Let the ribs rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This keeps them juicy and tender.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.
