SPARE RIBS IN OVEN

How to cook ribs in the oven for succulent fall-off-the bone meat every time. Use your favorite dry rub, BBQ sauce or a combination of both.

Categories     Cooking Tips and How Tos

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 full rack pork spare ribs (usually 2.5 to 3.5 lbs)*
pork dry rub (about 1/4 cup or to taste, use your favorite)**
1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 275-300 F (depending on how strong your oven is) and line an appropriately sized baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up), then place a sheet of parchment paper on top***
  • Trim the rack of spare ribs from any excess fat, pat them dry with a paper towel. Turn the rack with the meaty side down and identify the membrane that runs across the length of the rib bones. Peel it off using a paper towel to eliminate slipperiness.
  • Liberally season the rack of ribs on both sides and place onto the baking sheet. If you need to cut the rack in two to achieve a better fit, do so.
  • Cover the ribs with a sheet of parchment paper, then aluminum foil - tuck it around the edges of the baking sheet to create air tight seal.
  • Place in the oven for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours unwrap the cover and check the meat for tenderness. If satisfied, remove the covering, season with more dry rub or brush with BBQ sauce on both sides. (If you feel that the meat can use a little longer in the oven, go for another 20 mins and check again).
  • Place the uncovered ribs back in the oven for 20-30 mins more, as needed (you want a nice crust to form and the meat to be super tender).
  • Transfer to a cutting board, use tongs and a sharp chef's knife to slice the ribs, brush with BBQ sauce again (if using) and serve.

TENDER PORK SPARE RIBS



Tender Pork Spare Ribs image

I saw a Celebrity Chef use this braising method for baby back ribs, so I decided to give it a try for pork spare ribs. I changed the seasonings and increased the cooking time and I have been very pleased with them every time. They're really tender and the meat is so flavorful that you don't have to add BBQ sauce unless you want to. My neighbor is the one who told me about the fajita seasoning, and she was right on!

Time 16h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup fajita seasoning (such as Fiesta®)
2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
2 racks pork spareribs, fat trimmed
1 cup beer
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared brown mustard

Steps:

  • Mix the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl. Rub both sides of the pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture. Place the spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Whisk together the beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. Place a rack of spareribs on each sheet, meaty-side up. Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the ribs, shiny-side up. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet. Just before sealing completely, divide the beer mixture evenly into each packet. Complete the seal. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours. Carefully open each packet, and drain the drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet. Set ribs aside. Simmer the drippings over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Place the ribs back into the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for spare ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have too much fat.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat. You can also cut the ribs into individual portions if you prefer.
  • Season the ribs generously: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to season the ribs. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook spare ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall off the bone.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: You can cook spare ribs in the oven, on the grill, or in a smoker. Each method will produce slightly different results, so choose the method that you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the ribs: Overcooked ribs will be tough and dry. Cook the ribs until they are tender and juicy, but not so long that they fall apart.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Spare ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include baked beans, coleslaw, and potato salad.

Spare ribs are a classic American dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a delicious and versatile dish that can be cooked in a variety of ways.
