Beef Ribs with Barbecue Sauce Recipe

American · Main course · 200 min total

Tender, slow-cooked beef ribs slathered in a tangy, smoky homemade barbecue sauce. This recipe delivers fall-off-the-bone meat with a perfect caramelized glaze.

Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef back ribs (about 2 racks)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Mix salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub mixture all over ribs.
3. Place ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover tightly with another sheet of foil. Bake for 2.5 hours until tender.
4. Meanwhile, combine ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and liquid smoke in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove ribs from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Uncover ribs and brush generously with barbecue sauce.
6. Return ribs to oven, uncovered, and bake for 20-30 minutes, basting halfway through, until sauce is sticky and caramelized.
7. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting between bones to serve.

Tips

• For extra smoky flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder to the rub.
• Leftover ribs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 300°F oven.
• Double the sauce recipe if you like extra for dipping.
