World S Best Pork Ribs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). While the oven is heating up, prepare your ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat more effectively.

2. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil to create a sealed packet.

3. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until they are tender and almost falling off the bone. This low and slow cooking method will ensure that the ribs are perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful.

4. While the ribs are baking, you can prepare the delicious sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly. You want the sauce to coat the back of a spoon.

6. Once the ribs are cooked, carefully remove them from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

7. Brush the ribs generously with the prepared sauce, making sure to coat them evenly. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.

8. Once the ribs are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the tender, flavorful pork ribs with your favorite sides and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of freshness.
