Outstanding Oven Baked BBQ Ribs

My son, “the Chef” will grill in just about any weather,

but he will agree, that it’s hard to beat these oven baked ribs

As we head into Fall & Winter

grilling season pretty much shuts down

but you can still have incredible BBQ ribs whenever you want!

I’m going to share 2 ways to make them,

the traditional American way and an Asian style

 Have you ever baked ribs in the oven?

The secret to making them “fall off the bone”

is cooking them low and slow wrapped in foil

Slather both sides of a rack of ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce

and season with salt and pepper. 

Wrap up tightly in foil, double wrap so they won’t leak~

then place them in a baking pan

  Cook at 275F for 3-4 hours or 300F for 2-3 hours

They will be “fall off the bone” tender

If they aren’t brown enough for you, slather with more sauce,

and stick them under the broiler for a few minutes

Asian Style Ribs are prepared the same way

but they are first marinated in a

flavorful sweet and tangy sauce

This recipe calls for St. Louis style spare ribs

which are bigger and meatier than baby back or loin ribs

Cut them into individual pieces before marinating

so they will absorb even more flavor

Combine the sauce ingredients in a large Ziplock bag

Add ribs and marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight

Place the ribs on a large piece of foil

and drizzle with the rest of the sauce

Put them into a large shallow pan and cover the pan with foil

Baking them low and slow in a foil covered pan

ensures a moist and tender rib

The sauce bakes into the ribs forming a BBQ candy like glaze

After baking,  all the sauce will end up on the pan bottom,

so turn the ribs over and you will see the lovely glaze on them

Place them under the broiler for several minutes if desired

OVEN BBQ RIBS

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3-1/2 rack rack baby back ribs per person
  • BBQ sauce
  • S&P
  • foil

Instructions
 

  • Season ribs on both sides and slather with sauce.
  • Wrap in foil and place meaty side up in a foil lined baking sheet.

  • Just before serving open the foil and broil the meaty side of the ribs until sauce crisps up and gets a little crusty. This is a matter of preference, oftentimes we just skip this step and eat them!

Outstanding Oven BBQ Ribs

These tender ribs are slow baked in the oven with an Asian BBQ sauce
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Marinate 3 hours
Course Main Course
Cuisine Chinese
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ginger paste*
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 slab St. Louis style spare ribs {about 12 ribs

Instructions
 

  • Combine sauce ingredients in a large sturdy ziplock bag. Place ziplock upright in a large shallow dish. Cut slab into individual ribs and place them inside the bag. Close bag removing as much air as possible. Turn bag several times to thoroughly coat all the ribs. Place dish in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Line shallow baking pan with heavy duty foil, extending foil up over the sides and ends of pan so you will have plenty to enclose ribs. Arrange marinated ribs in a single layer on foil and pour any remaining marinade over them. Fold foil over ribs and then cover pan with another piece of foil, sealing tightly.
  • Place pan in a 300 degree oven. After 3 hours, reduce heat to 250 and continue to bake for 30-60 minutes. When ready to eat, uncover ribs and turn over so the saucy side is facing up. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes to char if desired.

Notes

keep ginger paste in freezer for long life 
if you want to use baby back ribs instead, cut them in pieces of 3-4 ribs instead of individually because they are less meaty

    These do look fabulous, and so easy! I don’t make ribs very often, but I do something similar to what you’ve done here with pork steaks. They’re a St. Louis thing as well and super delicious.

    We enjoy ribs, and I make mine the same way. Believe it or not, I have a slab in the freezer! Guess who is making ribs soon?
    Happy Tuesday, Jenna.
    I hope all is well with you, dear friend!

  3. This looks terrific and surprisingly easy! Thanks — it’s something I’ve never done but now maybe will.

    Oh they look absolutely delicious! I generally don’t make ribs because we don’t have a grill, but this is definitely a method I am going to have to try. Stopping in from Tuesday Turn About, I hope you have a wonderful week!

    Good morning, Jenna! These ribs look yummy, and I bet the house smells amazing while they are baking. We have a smoker and have prepared ribs that way, but we have never tried baking them inside. We will definitely have to give that a try. Thanks for the recipes. This would be perfect game day food. I hope you have a blessed day!

  6. This is great! I love BBQ but always have to wait till hubby has time to grill. Pinning this to my Southern food Pinterest board!
