Description
Tender pork ribs slow-cooked until fall-off-the-bone and coated in a sweet, smoky, sticky barbecue sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 racks pork ribs (about 2–2.5 kg)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F).
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry.
- Season ribs with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place on a baking tray.
- Bake for 2 hours until the ribs are tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil in a saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove ribs from foil, brush generously with the sauce.
- Increase oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) or use a grill setting.
- Return ribs to the oven and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, basting once, until sticky and caramelized.
- Rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra smokiness, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the sauce.
- Ribs can be finished on a barbecue grill instead of the oven.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing honey.
