Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef back ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup low carb BBQ sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the beef ribs. Place them on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and sea salt to create a rub.
Step 4
Brush the ribs with the olive oil and spice rub, ensuring they're evenly coated on all sides.
Step 5
Cover the baking sheet with another piece of foil, sealing the edges to create a packet.
Step 6
Bake the covered ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Step 7
Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Carefully open the foil packet and brush the ribs generously with the low carb BBQ sauce.
Step 9
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky.
Step 10
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Slice between the bones to separate individual ribs, and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
