The Best Spare Ribs

This Barbecue Spare Ribs recipe is fall off the bone tender and absolutely delicious.  The best part is, you can use any barbecue sauce you want and still get the same results.  So if you’ve already got a favorite recipe you like to whip up or one that is already bottled, you can skip the barbecue sauce preparation altogether.  Just a rack of ribs and a cup of sauce is all you’re going to need to bake these ribs to perfection.

How to make Barbecue Spare Ribs Tender

The secret, for Barbecue Spare ribs, lies in the slow and low method.  This recipe takes a total of 3 hours from beginning to end but it is worth it.  As you can see in my video recipe tutorial, the meat will just melt in your mouth.  And as far as P.F. Chang’s recipe is concerned, the truth is, this recipe is better and I say that for two reasons.  First, Chang’s doesn’t season their ribs; just a barbecue sauce marinade for 24 hours. Second, they cook their ribs in half the time I’m recommending and at a higher temperature, so the ribs aren’t as tender.  That being said, I highly suggest that you use this slow and low method if you want the best results.

Barbecue Spare Ribs Ingredients:

1 rack Spare Ribs
1 cup Barbecue Sauce
1 tbsp Seafood Boil Seasoning (Zatarains, Slap Ya Mama or Old Bay), optional

The Best Oven Baked Ribs

This Oven Baked Ribs recipe is designed to make everyone happy with that outdoor grilling or smoker taste, texture and tenderness.  This isn’t a spicy recipe but it can easily be converted if you’re looking for more kick.  The main purpose and idea behind this technique is to resemble the expensive time consuming style of professional smokers without the added expenditures.  This Rack of ribs cost me under $8 bucks and it fed my family of 5 without even another dollar worth of seasoning added.  Beat that at your local Steak House!

Slow and Low Oven Baked Ribs

The slow and low method is what’s really going to bring these Oven Baked Ribs to life.  If you do it the way I demonstrate, your ribs will end up with a light crispy outside and a juicy fall off the bone tender bite that will just melt in your mouth with every nibble.  Liquid Smoke will get you that “Fresh of the Grill” taste and then all you have to do is season the meat with Salt, Pepper and Cumin Before you take it to the oven and bake.
