Ingredients

  • 2 racks beef ribs or pork ribs
  • 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons pepper or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Season-All salt or to taste
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce your favorite kind

Instructions

  1. Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt, pepper, and Season-All.

  2. Line a cookie sheet (with a lip on all sides) with heavy-duty foil. Spray foil with cooking spray lightly.

  3. Put the ribs in 350F degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, until the meat starts to brown on both sides, flipping as needed.

  4. Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce (both sides of ribs) and put back in the 350-degree oven until the BBQ sauce starts to caramelize but not burn, approximately 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through.

  5. Once the sauce is caramelized and cooked into the meat add another good amount of sauce to the tops of the ribs. Try not to let too much sauce fall to the foil, but it's okay if some gets on it.

  6. With the top of ribs facing up, cover with a low-tented aluminum foil (tented just enough to not let it touch the tops of the ribs) and seal ALL sides TIGHTLY by curling foil under the lip or under the cookie sheet itself. The goal is to not let the steam out as it cooks.

  7. Turn the oven down to 250F. This is very important to keep the sauce from burning!

  8. Put the ribs back in at 250 degrees and set a timer for approx 2 hours.

  9. After 2 hours check the ribs by poking with a fork. The meat should easily come off the bone. If not return to the oven and check again in 20 minutes.
