Oven-Baked St. Louis Ribs (with Dry Rub)

Step 1

Heat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

If the ribs have a thin membrane on the back of the rack, remove it. See link below on how to remove it.

Step 3

Combine all ingredients to make the dry rub for the ribs.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with a couple sheets of foil. Place the rack of ribs on the foil sheets.

Step 5

Season both sides of the ribs generously with the dry rub. Turn the ribs meat side up on the foil.

Step 6

Fold the foil over, making sure to seal it tightly at the top. This prevents any juices from leaking.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 3 hours.

Step 8

Remove the ribs from the oven, use tongs to open the foil and discard the foil. Place the ribs on a clean sheet of foil and roasting pan.

Step 9

Optional: Brush ribs with your choice of barbecue sauce.

Step 10

Broil for 5 to 8 minutes, until ribs get a char.

Step 11

Cut ribs and serve with additional barbecue sauce as needed.
