Ingredients
  

  • 3.5 lbs Country-Style Pork Ribs boneless or bone-in
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 tsp Liquid Smoke optional, but recommended

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish 9x13 inch or similar size
  • 1 Aluminum Foil
  • 1 Small Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the country-style ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs.
  3. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the pork is very tender.
  5. While ribs cook, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 3 tbsp brown sugar, and liquid smoke. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully discard the foil and any excess liquid from the pan. Turn the oven setting to broil.
  7. Brush the ribs generously on all sides with the BBQ sauce. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra flavor, you can apply the dry rub to the ribs and let them marinate in the fridge for at least an hour or up to overnight.
Tip 2: Ensure the foil is sealed tightly around the baking dish to trap all the moisture. This is the key to tender, juicy ribs.
Tip 3: The broiling step happens fast! Stay by the oven to ensure your delicious BBQ sauce caramelizes perfectly without burning.
