You can still have moist and tender barbecue pork ribs even if you do not have a grill. I will show you step-by-step how to cook the pork ribs in the oven. When you’re finished cooking them, they will fall off the bone. The flavor…well, what can I say except that they are absolutely, totally delicious.
Moist and Tender Barbecue Pork Ribs In The Oven
One slab has been 4 individual meals.
The other slab is in the freezer…just waiting.
Wash the ribs under running cold water.
The sugar will melt over the spices while marinating.
Sprinkle with more rub in a thin layer.
but keep both ends vented open to release some of the steam while cooking.
Cook in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for one hour.
Turn oven down to 250 degrees.
Cover and cook for one hour.
Cover and cook for 1-2 more hours.
so I stood eating at the oven.
I know…totally pathetic, right?
Yeah, let me see you try to resist eating them immediately.
I bet you can’t do it either.
Moist and Tender Barbecue Pork Ribs In The Oven
Ingredients
2 slabs of pork ribs, room temperature
1/2 cup Montreal Steak Seasoning for one slab
1/2 cup Mrs Dash Mesquite Grilling Blends for the other slab
2 tablespoons garlic powder for each slab
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper for each slab
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning for each slab
1/2 teaspoon black pepper for each slab
1 cup brown sugar for each slab
Preparation:
Prepare a vented rack by covering the base with aluminum foil.
Mix half the spices with the Montreal Steak seasoning in a small bowl (not the sugar). Mix the other half of the spices with the Mrs. Dash Mesquite Grilling Blends (not the sugar). Set aside.
Wash the ribs under running cold water. Using a knife, separate the membrane from the bone enough to hold between paper towels to remove completely. Sprinkle spices in an even layer on all sides. Don’t rub – just sprinkle. Place ribs, meat side up, on rack. Seal the spices with a layer of brown sugar on top – softly patted on meat. Let marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour. The sugar will melt over the spices while marinating. Sprinkle with more rub in a thin layer.
Pour about 10 ounces of water in the bottom of the foil covered pan to create steam. Cover the ribs and pan with aluminum foil, but keep both ends vented open to release some of the steam while cooking. Cook in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for one hour. Remove from oven and cover with your favorite barbecue sauce. Turn oven down to 250 degrees. Cover and cook for one hour. Remove ribs from oven and add another layer of barbecue sauce. Cover and cook for 1-2 more hours. Remove from oven and serve hot.
Definitely good enough to lick your fingers and gnaw the bone!

Redhead Riter, your pork ribs look delectable! I am so glad that you live thousands of miles away from me — or I would be at your house every night eating dinner!
That looks and sounds delicious! I might have to try that recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Looks delish. Here in Texas, we smoke them with mesquite wood. I liked your mango post.
This actually looks like something I could make! I'm always nervous about ribs and things like it. Thanks Red. I can't wait to try it!
