Fall Off The Bone Baby Back Ribs

These Fall Off The Bone Baby Back Ribs are the best ever! Marinated for 8 hours in a to die for the dry rub and then slow-roasted in the oven on low for  3-4 hours. Finished off on the BBQ where they are smothered in barbecue sauce. So tender these pork ribs literally melt in your mouth on the first bite.

• 4 racks baby back ribs

• 1 1/2 cups white sugar

• 1/4 cup salt

• 2 1/2 tbsp ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp paprika

• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper

• 2 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 bottle of your favourite BBQ Sauce - we rather like Stokes which you will find on our deli counter in store!

• Clean ribs, trim any excess fat and remove membrane from back of ribs.  

• In a medium bowl combine sugar, salt, ground pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Mix well.

• Coat each rack of rib top and bottom with dry rub mixture massaging in so it is evenly and well coated.  Stack in a large foil roasting pan and cover with foil to let sit in fridge for at least 8 hours.

• Preheat oven to 275 F and bake covered with foil for 3-4 hours or until ribs are tender and start to fall apart when prodded with a fork.  Depending on the cut of the ribs it may take a little longer to get to this level of tenderness.

• When tender remove from oven.  Preheat BBQ to medium heat.

• BBQ ribs a few minutes each side basting with Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce or your sauce of choice. 

  • Be careful not to let them sit for long because the sugar in the sauce may burn.   

  • Remove from barbecue and serve immediately.  

Note Prepare the ribs with the dry rub the night before and let rest in the fridge overnight for a minimum of 8 hours before cooking.
