Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef back ribs
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups BBQ sauce
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup apple juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the beef ribs. Slide a blunt knife under the membrane and over a bone, grip the edge with a paper towel, and pull it off.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

Step 4

Generously rub the mixture all over the beef ribs, ensuring to coat them on all sides.

Step 5

Place the ribs in a large roasting pan, bone-side down.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and apple juice to thin it slightly.

Step 9

Once ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and carefully take off the foil.

Step 10

Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Brush the ribs with the BBQ sauce mixture. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered, to allow the sauce to caramelize, brushing once more halfway through.

Step 12

Optionally, finish them on the grill for 5-10 minutes for an extra smoky flavor.

Step 13

Let the ribs rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.

Step 14

Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
