Description
These Roadhouse Ribs are tender, smoky-sweet, and fall-off-the-bone delicious. Slow-roasted with a savory rub and finished with a sticky barbecue glaze for a true steakhouse-style rib experience.
Ingredients
2 racks pork baby back ribs (about 4 lbs)
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Remove the rib membrane if not already removed.
3. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
4. Rub seasoning mixture all over the ribs.
5. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and place on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 2.5–3 hours, until tender.
7. Whisk together barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire, and apple cider vinegar.
8. Remove ribs from foil, brush generously with sauce, and broil for 3–5 minutes or grill until caramelized.
9. Slice and serve with extra sauce.
Notes
For extra smoky flavor, add liquid smoke to the sauce.
These ribs are great prepared a day ahead and reheated with fresh glaze.
Use spicy barbecue sauce for a kick.
Serve with cornbread, coleslaw, or baked beans for a true roadhouse meal.
