DAD'S OVEN BAKED RIBS



Dad's Oven Baked Ribs image

These are the ribs that my Dad has cooked for years. My friends used to make sure they came around whenever they heard that he was going to be baking some and as a result he usually made several batches at a time. I recently ran into some old buddies and they asked for the recipe so I thought I would post it here. These ribs are messy, sticky and the meat falls off the bone. I wouldn't want them any other way.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs. Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for grilling, as they are tender and flavorful. Spare ribs are a good option for those who like a meatier rib.
  • Prepare the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and will prevent them from being tough.
  • Season the ribs. There are many different ways to season ribs. A simple dry rub made with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good option. You can also use a wet rub, which is made with a combination of spices and liquids.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low. The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will allow the ribs to cook evenly and will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  • Use a smoker or grill. Ribs can be cooked on a smoker or a grill. If you are using a smoker, maintain a temperature of around 225 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using a grill, cook the ribs over indirect heat.
  • Baste the ribs. Basting the ribs with a mixture of barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The ribs are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are cooking them on a smoker or a grill, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that your ribs turn out perfect. By following the tips in this article, you can make sure that your ribs are tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone delicious.
