Slow-cooked oven baked Ribs

I don't know when I last had ribs. I wanted some. I found this recipe. It happened, and they were amazing.


Oven Baked BBQ Beef Ribs

Author: Divas Can 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

  1. Lightly coat ribs in olive oil.
  2. Mix together seasoning and sprinkle generously over ribs, front and back. (don't have to use all of seasoning mix)
  3. Massage the spices into the ribs, adding more olive oil to help distribute the spices well if needed.
  4. Place the ribs in a covered container and marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
  5. 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!)
  6. Place the ribs on a foil lined baking tray in a single layer.
  7. 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.
  8. 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)
  9. When the ribs are done to your liking, drain off the excess fat.
  10. Brush the ribs with desired amount of BBQ sauce.
  11. Broil on low until the sauce is sticky. (this won't take long so keep an eye on it)
  12. Serve hot and enjoy!!
