I have been making ribs for eons, including St. Louis Style BBQ Ribs, but I thought I would try a different method this time. I just used a dry spice rub, then slow roasted and served plain, no barbecue sauce. A side of fries and some ketchup for dipping and it was perfect.
Ingredients
- 1 rack St Louis style ribs
Dry Rub
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.
- Mix together all dry rub ingredients.
- Remove ribs from refrigerator at least one hour before roasting.
- Spread dry rub on both side of ribs.
- Set aside at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Line a sheet pan with non-stick aluminum foil.
- Transfer seasoned ribs to sheet pan, add 1/4 cup of water, or just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by 1/2"
- Cover ribs with aluminum foil and place rib side down in a pre-heated oven.
- Roast for 3 hours. Turn ribs after 1.5 hours. Check after 3 hours to see if the ribs are soft when pierced with a fork.
- Remove aluminum foil and continue to roast for another 1/2 hour. Baste a couple of times with a turkey baster.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice into rib portions and serve with fries and ketchup.
