Season ribs: If your ribs still have a thin membrane on the back, remove it. Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper. If using a spice rub, apply it evenly.Wrap very tightly with foil: Important so ribs don’t dry out during cooking. Place the ribs, meatiest-side down, in roasting pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. The ribs must be well-sealed to prevent drying out. If you’re doubling the recipe and don’t have a large enough pan, wrap the racks of ribs individually in tight foil packets and place them on the baking sheet. Bake: Bake for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or until meat easily falls from bones. Check after 2 hours. Ribs are ready when the meat is cooked through and very tender. It will not have gotten brown, so don’t worry. Mine took close to 3 hours.BBQ Sauce:Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat, then add onions and cook until soft. Don’t let them brown.Stir in cumin, ketchup, chili sauce, sugar and vinegar. Cook for a couple of minutes, season with salt and more of any one ingredient that you think it needs. Brush sauce onto ribs after baking: Generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.Broil ribs: Broil on high ribs until sauce begins to caramelize, about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during this step to ensure the sauce doesn’t burn. ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
