Ingredients for Barbequed Spare Ribs
- 3-4 pound rack of spare ribs
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup ketchup
- Lemon
- Dry Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
How to Make Barbequed Spare Ribs
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the BBQ sauce: In a blender, combine 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until completely smooth.
- Cut a 3-4 pound rack of spare ribs into individual ribs or smaller sections, if desired.
- Place ribs in a large roasting pan and brown in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the pan from the oven and drain off excess grease.
- Dip each rib generously in the prepared BBQ sauce, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Return the ribs to the roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pan (this helps keep the ribs moist).
- Pour any remaining BBQ sauce over the ribs.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Reduce oven temperature to 200°F (95°C) and cook for 1 hour, or until the ribs are incredibly tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
