Fall-Off-The-Bone Oven Baked Ribs

Uploaded on 2020-12-13 by sschwein

Ingredients:

- RIBS
- 2 - 2.5 pounds baby back pork ribs
- Salt and black pepper

- SWEET AND SPICY BARBECUE SAUCE
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 cup ketchup, try our homemade ketchup recipe
- 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (suggestion Sriracha)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

1 - Heat oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135C).
2 - If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.
3 - Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper then place, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half in order for them to fit into the pan).
4 - Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat is fally-offy from the bones, 3 to 4 hours.
5 - Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
6 - Optional: Move an oven rack near to the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so they the sauce does not burn.)

Notes:

Removing the Membrane: Place the ribs meat-side-down on a cutting board. Locate the thin membrane covering the rack. This membrane can be tough when cooked. To remove, use a knife to gently slide under the membrane then using your fingers, pull the membrane away from the bones. If slippery or difficult to remove, use a kitchen towel to take hold of it and pull.
