A flavorful and tender pork ribs recipe with a savory dry rub, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cut the pork ribs into sections of 3 or 4 bones each.
Cutting the ribs into smaller sections makes them easier to handle and serve.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, freshly ground black pepper, mustard powder, salt, and brown sugar to create the dry rub.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture generously onto both sides of the rib sections, pressing it into the meat.
Let the ribs sit for a few minutes after applying the rub to absorb the flavors.
Wrap each rib section tightly in foil, adding a tablespoon of water to each packet to keep the meat moist.
Ensure the foil is sealed well to trap the steam inside.
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 2 hours.
Check the ribs halfway through to ensure they are cooking evenly.
Carefully open the foil packets to release the steam, and optionally, finish the ribs on a hot grill for a few minutes to add a smoky flavor.
Grilling adds a nice char and enhances the flavor.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
