Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs
This is a never-fail recipe and it’s so easy. Rub and cook ribs right away or rub and refrigerate for a few hours. Using a disposable foil pan or a foil-lined pan means no cleanup. These amazing ribs are equally delicious finished in the oven or on the grill. Don’t expect leftovers!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours
Makes: one rack of 13 ribs
Ingredients:
one rack of pork baby back ribs
juice of one lemon
1/4 cup dry rub (your own or my recipe)
1/2 cup barbeque sauce (your own or my recipe)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 300° F.
Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.
Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.
Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.
Coat ribs with dry rub. Place meat side down in large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out.
Bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
Remove from oven & pour off liquid.
Brush bbq sauce over all sides of ribs.
Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.
Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same middle oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn. They will be so tender, it’s best to turn them using gloved hands. (If foil starts to burn, transfer ribs to a clean sheet of foil for broiling)
