- Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 3 hours
- Yield: Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 9 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- Liquid smoke
- Barbecue sauce
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 250ยฐF. Adjust one oven rack to the low position and remove any remaining oven racks.
-
-
Mix the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. This flavorful dry rub will infuse the ribs with deliciousness.
-
Prepare the Mustard Mixture: In another bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard and a few dashes of liquid smoke. This tangy-sweet mixture will add depth of flavor and help the dry rub adhere to the ribs.
-
Prepare the Ribs: Lay the ribs directly on the removed oven rack and lightly sprinkle them with salt. This helps to enhance the natural flavors of the meat.
-
Apply the Mustard and Dry Rub: Brush both sides of the rib slab with the mustard mixture, ensuring an even coating. Then, sprinkle both sides generously with the prepared dry rub, pressing it gently into the meat for maximum flavor.
-
Line the Pan: Line a jelly roll pan with a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, extending the foil so it covers the oven rack. This will make cleanup a breeze and prevent any drips from making a mess in your oven.
-
Roast the Ribs: Slide the rack with the ribs into the upper-middle position of the oven, and place the foil-lined pan on the lower oven rack, making sure the foil covers the rack completely. Roast the ribs until they are fork-tender, which typically takes 2 to 3 hours for spareribs and 1 1/2 to 2 hours for baby back ribs.
-
Optional: Add Barbecue Sauce: If you prefer your ribs slathered in barbecue sauce, now’s the time to do it. Remove the foil-lined pan from the oven and pour off any excess fat. Transfer the ribs to the foil-lined pan, meat side up, and brush them generously with your favorite barbecue sauce.
-
Broil the Ribs: Turn on the broiler and carefully place the ribs under the broiler until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized, but not burned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent any mishaps!
-
Let Them Rest: Once the ribs are perfectly glazed and golden, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and flavorful.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve these delectable oven-roasted ribs alongside your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Don’t forget plenty of napkinsโthese ribs are finger-licking good!
