My Hubby’s Favorite Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs are juicy, tender, and full of flavor—perfect for an easy, comforting weeknight dinner or special occasion meal.
In a large bowl, add your freshly cleaned + rinsed ribs along with olive oil, On Everything All-Purpose Blend, brown sugar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, and ½ cup of BBQ sauce, mixing everything together until ribs are fully coated. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes. NOTE: Add coated ribs to a securely sealed ziplock bag and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight (for best results, but not required). When ready to use after marinating in the fridge, let ribs sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
TO BAKE THE RIBS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with non-stick foil paper. NOTE: You can also use a great non-stick griddle pan (as shown in photo) if desired----which doesn't need prepping.
Add the seasoned ribs (as a whole rack or sliced) onto the baking sheet or griddle pan and bake uncovered for the first 30 minutes.
After the 30 minute mark, increase the oven to 400 degrees and add 1 cup of beef stock/broth atop the ribs for a nice tender and moist finish. Not required. NOTE: The liquid will dry out as it continues to bake, so you'll get the best results.
Once the ribs have been baking for 1 hour-----generously brush on BBQ sauce until ribs are fully smothered and coated. Continue to bake for remaining 20 minutes or so.
Once done, remove from oven and brush more BBQ sauce if desired. Let ribs sit for 5 minutes before transferring to your favorite platter or dish.
Enjoy alongside your favorite side dish! See post details for great options.
Bon Appetit!
