EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS



Easy Oven Baked Ribs image

When I can keep hubby from charring (burning) some ribs on the grill, I make them in the oven. These are so moist and tender, you will probably never want to grill them again. I've used many types of ribs... Baby Backs, Spare Ribs (St. Louis), or Country Style (which are not really "ribs" as they are cut from the Shoulder). My favorite rub to use is Recipe #510906 and hubby loves my Recipe #510968 on them, but use whatever your family favs are of both. If you decide to use either of my rub or sauce recipes, please feel free to add a review to those recipes, as well. This recipe is just basically a technique to baking ribs indoors. I hope you enjoy these easy, no fuss ribs. *Note: Ribs, Rub & Sauce measurements are only estimates... I just buy them, rub them, sauce them and eat them! :)

Categories     Pork

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 -5 lbs pork ribs
3 tablespoons dry rub seasonings (use your favorite, I use Rustic Spice Rub (Bulk))
1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite, I use BBQ Sauce: Sweet and Spicy)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 250* F.
  • Season all sides of the ribs with your favorite rub.
  • Using a 13x9x2 baking dish (or most likely a larger 15x11x2), place the ribs into the pan, do not over crowd. If using Baby Back slabs, place bone side facing up. If using individual Country Style (St. Louis), lay on their side.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and place on center rack of pre-heated oven. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours (depending on the size of the ribs you are using).
  • Remove the ribs from oven and drain any grease from dish; reserving the foil for later use (waste not, want not). Flip the ribs over (meaty side up) and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and return the dish to the oven (un-covered) for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Once done, remove the ribs to a platter, loosely tent the platter with the reserved foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This step is important -- the resting period gives the ribs time to re-distribute their juices, just like a steak would).
  • Enjoy!

Serve these sticky chipotle pork ribs come rain or shine- they can be finished by grill or barbecue

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Main course

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½kg pork spare rib - the meatier the better (3 per person)
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp hot smoked paprika
1 tbsp ground coriander
2 tsp dried oregano , or 2 tbsp fresh leaves, chopped
1 heaped tbsp dark soft brown sugar
1 lime , zested then cut into wedges, to serve
1 tbsp olive oil
2 fat garlic cloves , crushed
2 tbsp tomato purée
3 tbsp dark soft brown sugar
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp chipotle paste
juice 1 lime

Steps:

  • Mix the dry rub ingredients with ½ tsp flaky sea salt, then massage into the meat. Marinate for at least 1 hr, or ideally up to 1 day in the fridge.
  • To make the sauce, heat the oil in a small saucepan and soften the garlic for 1 min. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, plus 2 tbsp water and simmer for a few secs until the sugar melts. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the ribs in a roasting tin in 1 fairly snug layer. Pour in 100ml hot water, cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 2 hrs until the meat pulls easily from the bones. Drain off any fat. The ribs can be cooled and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • For the final stage of cooking, get the barbecue ready and wait until the coals are glowing white and grey. Cook the ribs for 4-5 mins on each side until dark golden and hot through - use tongs to turn them carefully. Brush with some of the chipotle sauce and give the ribs 1 min more to char here and there. Serve on a platter with the rest of the sauce for spooning, lime wedges, plus a big bowl of Smoky corn & avocado salsa (see related recipes, right).

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

spices
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
pork
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 orange bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 large garlic cloves (minced)
1 (28 ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
2 tablespoons masa harina (or all-purpose flour)
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 325°F Combine all spice mixture ingredients in small bowl. Heat Dutch Oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoons of the oil; heat until hot. Cook pork, in batches, 4-6 minutes or until golden brown on all sides, adding more oil and/or adjusting heat, as needed. Place pork in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the spice mixture; toss to coat.
  • 2. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to Dutch Oven. Cook onions over medium heat for 3 minutes or until slightly soft, stirring occasionally. Add bell peppers; cook and stir for 2 minutes, until slightly soft. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in remaining spice mixture. Nestle pork in vegetables; pour tomatoes over mixture. Bring to boil; cover.
  • 3. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until pork is fork tender.
  • 4. Place masa harina in small cup; stir in water until smooth. Stir into pork mixture; bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 2-4 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select meaty spare ribs with good marbling. St. Louis-style ribs or baby back ribs are ideal for this recipe.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender and flavorful meat. Cut the ribs into individual portions if desired.
  • Make the marinade: Combine a mixture of spices, herbs, citrus juices, and oil to create a flavorful marinade. Adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
  • Marinate the ribs: Place the ribs in a large resealable bag or container and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the ribs are fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the ribs: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature, typically around 300°F (150°C). Arrange the ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Bake for 2-3 hours or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. Baste the ribs occasionally with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and honey for extra flavor.
  • Let the ribs rest: Before serving, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful ribs.
  • Serve and enjoy: Serve the Mexican-style spare ribs with your favorite sides, such as grilled corn on the cob, refried beans, or a fresh salad. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges for extra zest.
