Oven baked BBQ ribs

 

Ingredients

about 900g ribs

Recipe for rub:

One teaspoonful each of: paprika, granulated garlic, dried onion, salt, sugar

(may need one tablespoon of sugar?  cant recall)

blend into a fine powder

Method:

remove membrane from area under the ribs in order to aid absorption of seasoning and to avoid having a hard skin after cooking

give the ribs a quick rinse and drain off excess liquid

coat the ribs in olive oil

sprinkle the rub all over liberally (the rub already has salt so no need to salt separately)

Insert wireless thermometer into a fleshy part of the rib

Bake at around 120 to 140 C for 2 to 2.5 hours depending on internal temp

Baked ribs till internal temperature of 185 F.  they will be tender but not at fall off the bone stage.  test doneness by inserting a skewer and the skewer should go through easily without much resistance

Note that baby back ribs are a bit more lean and will cook a bit faster than spare ribs
