Oven Barbecued St. Louis Style Ribs

Oven Barbecued St. Louis Style Ribs

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes

Yield: 4-6

Ingredients

3-4 lbs St. Louis style ribs
garlic powder
3/4 cups water
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon Frank's red hot sauce(adjust for desired level or heat)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1-2 teaspoon celery seeds(be careful, too much can overpower the flavor)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut ribs into serving sizes. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder to taste. Place in greased roasting pan or casserole dish bone side up. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. (this is the fat rendering stage)
  3. Mix the rest of ingredients in sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Shut off and let it sit.
  4. Take two sheets of aluminum foil about 5 inches longer than your pan and place one on top of the other. You are going to join the two seets so they can cover the entire roasting pan. Create a seam by folding a 1 inch fold on the long edge of the sheets. Foald the one inch fold in half and in half again. This should create a double wide sheet with a nice solid seam along the middle. Put this aside.
  5. After 45 minutes, remove ribs from oven, transfer to a plate and drain the grease from the pan. Put the ribs back in the pan and pour sauce over ribs.
  6. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. (this is the moistening phase)
  7. Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting the ribs 2-3 times during final stage. (this is teh reduction phase)
