Ingredients for BBQ Pork Ribs:
- 1 rack of pork ribs (about 4 lbs)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp hot paprika
- Black pepper to taste
- Thyme and marjoram to taste
- 1 tsp chimichurri seasoning
- Rosemary (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder or all-purpose seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
How to Make BBQ Pork Ribs:
- Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a paper towel to get a good grip on the edge of the membrane and pull it off gently.
- In a baking dish, season the ribs with salt, hot paprika, black pepper, thyme, marjoram, chimichurri, rosemary (optional), garlic seasoning, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Rub the spices well into the meat to ensure deep flavor penetration.
- Let the ribs marinate for at least 3 hours. For an even more intense flavor, you can marinate them for longer.
- After marinating, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place the ribs on a roasting rack set inside a baking sheet to catch the drippings.
- Bake the ribs uncovered for 40 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil (shiny side facing in) to trap the moisture.
- Continue baking for 2 to 2.5 hours.
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil, watching out for the escaping steam.
- Brush the ribs generously with your favorite BBQ sauce, coating them completely.
- Return the ribs to the oven for another 10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
- Remove from the oven and serve these tender, flavorful ribs immediately.
Pro Tip:
The secret to the perfect BBQ pork ribs is patience with the marinating process. The longer you let the meat marinate, the more flavorful it will be. If your schedule allows, let them sit in the fridge overnight. This allows the seasonings to penetrate deep into the fibers, resulting in an exceptionally succulent and flavorful bite.
