1. Prepping the Ribs

  • Remove the Membrane: Flip the ribs over to the bone side. Use a knife to loosen the thin, tough membrane and peel it off. This step ensures the ribs are tender and allows the seasoning to penetrate better.
  • Pat Dry: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture from the ribs.
  • Apply Olive Oil: Lightly coat the ribs with olive oil. This helps the dry rub stick and adds a touch of moisture.

2. Seasoning with the Dry Rub

  • Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  • Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, covering both sides. Massage it in for maximum flavor.
  • For the best results, let the ribs marinate with the rub for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, refrigerate them for 2–4 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.

3. Preparing the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Low and slow is the key to tender ribs.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on the sheet if you have one, as it allows air to circulate around the ribs.

4. Cooking the Ribs

  • Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet, bone-side down.
  • Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil. This traps steam, keeping the meat moist and tender.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 2 ½ to 3 hours, depending on the size and type of ribs. Check for doneness: the meat should pull away from the bones easily when tested with a fork.

5. Adding the Sauce

  • Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  • If using barbecue sauce, brush it generously over the ribs.
  • Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for 10–15 minutes. This allows the sauce to caramelize, creating a sticky, flavorful glaze.

6. Rest and Serve

  • Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
  • Slice between the bones for individual ribs and serve immediately.
