Ingredients
- 1 (2.5 lb) slab of pork baby back ribs
- 2 tbs brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tbs kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs by sliding a butter knife under the membrane and gently lifting it off. Using a paper towel to grip the membrane, peel it from the ribs.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, kosher salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground mustard and cayenne pepper. Brush the top and bottom of the ribs with the yellow mustard. Now rub the spice mixture all over the ribs.
- Wrap the ribs completely with heavy duty aluminum foil, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake in oven for 2 hours or until desired tenderness when checked with a toothpick or skewer (see notes below). Remove from oven.
- Set oven to broil. Carefully peel back foil and flatten it as best possible on the baking sheet. Discard any liquid. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce and place under broiler in oven for about 2-3 minutes or until sauce caramelizes.
Notes
Check for doneness by using a toothpick and poke it into the meat between the bones. If it goes in easily your ribs are probably done. If it’s tough to push in, cook in additional 15-minute increments until desired tenderness.Â
