Ingredients

  • 2 racks beef ribs or beef short ribs (1.4–1.8 kg total)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (any preferred brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 135°C (275°F).
  2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, if present. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to make the dry rub.
  4. Rub the spice mix evenly over both sides of the ribs.
  5. Place ribs meat-side up on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly to seal. Place the foil packet on a baking tray.
  6. Bake for 2½ to 3 hours, or until ribs are tender and meat pulls away from the bone.
  7. Carefully open the foil. Brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce.
  8. Increase oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Return ribs to oven, uncovered, and bake for 15–20 minutes until the sauce caramelizes.
  9. Let ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add a splash of apple juice inside the foil for extra moisture during baking.
  • Use spicy or smoky BBQ sauce for a flavor twist.
  • For a smoky finish, briefly grill the ribs after baking.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze for later use.
  • Removing the membrane improves tenderness and flavor absorption.
