Ingredients
RIBS:
- 1 rack pork or beef ribs, sliced or whole (About 3-4lbs. are great!)
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsps organic brown sugar
- 1-2 Tbsps On Everything All-Purpose Blend (You can purchase my On Everything All-Purpose Blend for authentic flavor or make your own blend----See Notes; You can also use my Homemade BBQ Dry Rub instead.)
- 1 tablespoon hickory liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1-2 cups BBQ sauce, store-bought or homemade (You can add up to 1 cup more if desired)
- 1 cup Beef broth/stock, optional
Instructions
SEASON + PREP THE RIBS:
- 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!
