Aunt Anns Best Oven Roasted Ribs Recipes

THE BEST OVEN ROASTED RIBS

Steps:

• Adjust one oven rack to low position, remove remaining oven rack, and heat oven to 250°.
• Mix a dry rub of the sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl.
• Mix mustard and liquid smoke in another bowl.
• Lay ribs directly on removed oven rack and lightly sprinkle with salt.
• Brush both sides of slab with mustard mix and then sprinkle both sides with dry rub.
• Line jelly roll pan with a large sheet of heavy duty foil, extending foil so it covers oven rack.
• Slide rack with ribs into upper-middle position and place foil lined pan on lower oven rack, making sure that foil covers rack.
• Bake/roast ribs until fork-tender, 2-3 hours for spareribs and 1 1/2 hours-2 hours for baby back ribs.
• If coating ribs with barbecue sauce, remove foil lined jelly roll pan from oven and pour off excess fat.
• Transfer ribs to foil lined pan meat side up.
• Turn on broiler and brush ribs with sauce and broil until bubbly but not burned.
• Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

EASY FALL OFF THE BONE OVEN-BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275° Fahrenheit (135C).
• If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.
• Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you are using a spice rub, add season the ribs with it now. Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan).
• Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat falls easily from the bones, 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. We like to check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they are progressing. The ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender.
• While the ribs bake, make the barbecue sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
• Add the ketchup, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, season with salt then cook for 2 minutes. Set aside in preparation for the ribs to finish roasting.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
• Optional: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so the sauce does not burn.)
• Store baked ribs, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze, wrapped in foil or freezer paper and in an airtight container, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, and then reheat.
• To reheat the ribs, wrap in foil or parchment paper and place into a 300°F oven until warmed through, about 30 minutes. If you have some leftover, slather some extra sauce that's been warmed over the ribs before serving.

AUNT ANN'S BEST OVEN ROASTED RIBS

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, and preheat oven to 250.
• Mix sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.
• If using liquid smoke, mix mustard and liquid smoke in a small bowl.
• Brush both sides of each slab with mustard, then sprinkle both sides with the dry rub.
• If using just mustard, brush directly on each slab, then sprinkle both sides with the dry rub.
• ***Line a lg. jelly roll pan or other shallow roasting pan with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Place the pan on the oven floor (if oven is gas), or bottom oven rack (if oven is electric), making sure the foil covers the entire oven level.
• Roast ribs until fork-tender- 2-3 hours for spare ribs, and 1 1/2-2 hours for baby-back ribs.
• Remove foil-lined pan from oven, and pour off fat. Transfer ribs to foil-lined pan, meat side down. Turn on broiler. Brush ribs with 1/2 the Ah-So Chinese Style Sauce.
• Put pan under broiler until glaze bubbles vigorously. Remove pan, turn the ribs, brush with the remaining sauce, and return to the.
• broiler until glaze bubbles vigorously. Be careful, because they can burn.
• Let stand 5-10 minutes.
• Cut into individual servings, and serve.
• ***Note: My Aunt Ann makes these directly on the racks in her self-cleaning oven, and just put aluminum foil on the bottom rack to catch everything. Once the ribs are made she just soaks the racks to clean, and turns on the automatic cleaning system for her oven.
