Oven Baked Pork Ribs
These oven-baked baby back ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, coated in a flavorful spice rub, and finished with a caramelized layer of barbecue sauce. They are easy to make in the oven with no grill or smoker required and deliver restaurant-quality ribs right at home.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 large racks baby back ribs pork loin back ribs, about 3-3.25 pounds per rack (I buy them at Sam’s Club, and they are usually about 6.5 to 6.7 pounds of ribs in a 2-pack)
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard 1 tablespoon per side
- 1 ½ to 2 cups BBQ Sauce your favorite brand or to taste , we love KC Masterpiece
- homemade dry rib rub or your favorite rub
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
- Rinse ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the silver skin/membrane from the back of the ribs (tip: loosen with a butter knife, then grip with a paper towel to pull it off). Cut racks in half if needed for easier handling.
- Rub a light coat of yellow mustard all over the rib.
- Starting on the less meaty side, season generously with Dry Rib Rub on all sides.
- Place the ribs meaty side up on the foil lined baking sheet.
- Cover the ribs tightly with foil, sealing the baking sheet well.
- Bake on the center rack for 2½ hours.
- Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil. If there is an excess of liquid you can pour the liquid off the baking. Brush ribs generously with barbecue sauce. Do not rewrap.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F (no need to wait for it to preheat). Return ribs, uncovered, to the oven for 25 minutes.
- For fall-off-the-bone ribs, check that the internal temperature reaches 190–205°F.
- Set the oven to broil. Place ribs under the broiler for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes. For saucier ribs, brush on another layer of barbecue sauce (if desired) and broil again.
- Let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Rub: A store-bought rub can be substituted for our homemade rub, or salt and pepper can be used as an alternative.
