Ingredients
- 4 lbs beef back ribs (about 2 racks)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Rub mixture all over beef ribs.
- Place ribs in a large baking dish or roasting pan, meaty side up. Pour beef broth into the bottom of the pan, not over the ribs. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake for 2.5 hours, until meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.
- Remove foil, brush ribs generously with barbecue sauce. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Return ribs to oven, uncovered, and bake for 20-30 minutes, basting with additional sauce halfway through, until sauce is sticky and caramelized.
- Let rest 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs. Serve with extra sauce.
Tips
- For extra smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the broth.
- Leftover ribs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven.
- Serve with coleslaw and cornbread for a classic pairing.
