Ingredients

• 2 racks (about 4 pounds total) Pork ribs rack
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 4 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 1 roll Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs by sliding a knife underneath and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the ribs lightly with apple cider vinegar, then rub the spice mixture generously over the entire surface of the ribs.

Step 5

Brush the ribs with yellow mustard to help the seasoning stick and enhance the flavor.

Step 6

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil to seal in moisture and place them on a large baking sheet, bone side down.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours. The ribs are ready for the next step when the meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bone.

Step 8

Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap them, discarding the foil. Brush both sides of the ribs liberally with barbecue sauce.

Step 9

Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) or preheat a grill for medium-high heat.

Step 10

Place the ribs back in the oven or on the grill directly, bone side down. Cook for 15-20 minutes, brushing with additional barbecue sauce and flipping once if using a grill, until the sauce is caramelized.

Step 11

Remove the ribs from the oven or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual ribs.

Step 12

Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side. Enjoy your Pork Ribs Perfection!
