For the Barbecue Sauce:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place the ribs on a large cutting board. Flip them over and use a small knife to remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. This helps the seasoning penetrate the meat better.
  3. Combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Step 2: Apply the Dry Rub

  1. Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, mustard powder, and cumin in another bowl.
  2. Generously coat the ribs with this dry rub, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor.
  3. Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture.

Step 3: Slow Roast the Ribs

  1. Place the wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet, bone side down.
  2. Roast in the oven for 2.5–3 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.

Step 4: Prepare the Barbecue Sauce

  1. While the ribs are roasting, prepare the barbecue sauce.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Simmer the sauce for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
