Ribs In The Oven Wrapped In Foil Food

THE BEST OVEN BAKED (FOIL-WRAPPED) BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• A day before, in a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, wine vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke, and butter. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, celery seed, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
• Reduce heat to low, and simmer for up to 20 minutes. For a thicker sauce, simmer longer, and for thinner, less time is needed. A sauce can also be thinned using a bit of water if necessary. Brush sauce onto any kind of meat during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Pat ribs dry with a paper towel and remove the membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs.
• Apply Bar-B-Que Creole Seasoning Blend Recipe rub to ribs on all sides.
• Lay ribs, bone side down on a long sheet of foil.
• Lay another layer of foil on top of ribs and roll and crimp edges tightly, rolling the edges facing up to seal.
• Place on baking sheet and bake for 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat has started to shrink away from the ends of the bone.
• Remove from oven.
• To finish ribs under the broiler, set oven to broil and place the ribs bone side up, on a broiling rack, brush with barbeque sauce and place, uncovered, under the broiler for about 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and cooked on, watch carefully, so they don't burn. Turn the ribs over and repeat on the meaty side. Remove the ribs from the broiling pan and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

OVEN BAKED RIBS (HOW TO COOK RIBS IN OVEN)

Steps:

• Begin by removing the membrane from the ribs and discard the membrane.
• Next, sprinkle the ribs with kosher salt and massage the salt into the meat. Set aside.
• Add the garlic powder, brown sugar, dried thyme, chili powder, paprika, and black pepper into a bowl and mix until combined.
• Sprinkle the spices over the ribs and be sure the whole rack of ribs is covered.
• Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (but up to overnight).
• Preheat the oven to 300ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Unwrap the ribs and place them on the baking sheet.
• Drizzle the ribs with olive oil and cover them with tin foil.
• Place them into the oven and bake the ribs at 300ºF for 2.5 hours.
• When there is 30 minutes of bake time left, add all the ingredients for the bbq sauce into a sauce pan and whisk all of the ingredients together until combined.
• Bring the BBQ sauce to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to low and let the BBQ sauce simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• When the ribs have baked for 2.5 hours, remove them from the oven and unwrap them from the tin foil.
• Increase the heat to 400ºF and slather the bbq sauce over the ribs.
• Return the ribs to the oven and bake them at 400ºF for 10-15 minutes or until the BBQ sauce begins to caramelize on the ribs.
• Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 10 minutes and then enjoy.

BAKED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
• Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
• Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
• While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

EASY OVEN BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250* F.
• Season all sides of the ribs with your favorite rub.
• Using a 13x9x2 baking dish (or most likely a larger 15x11x2), place the ribs into the pan, do not over crowd. If using Baby Back slabs, place bone side facing up. If using individual Country Style (St. Louis), lay on their side.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and place on center rack of pre-heated oven. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours (depending on the size of the ribs you are using).
• Remove the ribs from oven and drain any grease from dish; reserving the foil for later use (waste not, want not). Flip the ribs over (meaty side up) and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and return the dish to the oven (un-covered) for an additional 30 minutes.
• Once done, remove the ribs to a platter, loosely tent the platter with the reserved foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This step is important -- the resting period gives the ribs time to re-distribute their juices, just like a steak would).
• Enjoy!
