Amazing Barbecue Ribs
Cooked In The Oven And Smoked To Finish
Ribs can get a little complex. Sure, you can just season them and throw them on the grill, but they'll be chewy. I prefer a tender rib with at least a hint of smoke. Here's my basic process.
What you will need
1 rack of ribs
1 batch of rib rub
1 batch of your favorite barbecue sauce
How to cook
1
Coat your rack in rub. Massage the spices into the meat a bit. Then, wrap up the ribs and set them in your fridge for at least 12 hours.
2
Roast
Preheat the oven to 250F. Wrap ribs in foil. Bake for 2 hours. I recommend starting your ribs in the oven and finishing them in a smoker. If you don't have a smoker available, keep them in the oven for an extra 1-2 hours or until tender.
3
Smoke
After the oven, move your ribs to the smoker at a similar temperatore 250-300F if possible. Baste/mop frequently with barbecue sauce.
4
Finish
Ready when the meat is so tender that a bone can easily be pulled clean from the rack.
Rib Rub
I've been working on my ribs for awhile. First step is the rub. You can store this stuff and use it for other stuff, but I like to make it fresh for every batch of ribs.
