Cook - modified by Kat
Ingredients
- 3 lbs meaty beef ribs (we used some short ribs, and they were good too!)
- 2-4 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder (if you have some - I didn't)
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning (I just added a bit of cayenne and some pepper instead)
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar, packed (you could probably use less)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, can used a smoked salt as well.
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- Favorite BBQ Sauce (it won't take a lot)
Instructions
- Lightly coat ribs in olive oil.
- Mix together seasoning and sprinkle generously over ribs, front and back. (don't have to use all of seasoning mix)
- Massage the spices into the ribs, adding more olive oil to help distribute the spices well if needed.
- Place the ribs in a covered container and marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 250 F. (man it would be nice to have an oven that you could actually set to the temperature you want!)
- Place the ribs on a foil lined baking tray in a single layer.
- Add another piece of foil on top to create a pouch for the ribs to cook in. Be sure to seal the edges of the foil so that it's tight and steam won't seep out.
- Bake on the middle rack of 3½ -4 hours. (The little short ribs were well done in about 3 hours). Check on it after the 3½ hour mark. The oven temperature is very low so you can afford to cook it a bit longer without worry)
- When the ribs are done to your liking, drain off the excess fat.
- Brush the ribs with desired amount of BBQ sauce.
- Broil on low until the sauce is sticky. (this won't take long so keep an eye on it)
- Serve hot and enjoy!!
