Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.

Step 3

Pat the beef ribs dry with paper towels, then rub the olive oil over the ribs ensuring they are well coated.

Sprinkle the dry rub evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing the spices into the meat gently with your hands.

Step 5

Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for about 3.5 to 4 hours, or until they are tender and the meat pulls away easily from the bones.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).

Step 9

Brush both sides of the ribs generously with low-carb barbecue sauce.

Step 10

Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize.
