If you grab them with your hands, devour with gusto, get sauce all over your mouth, smearing up towards your cheekbones, then drop the bones sucked dry of every fibre of meat and sauce so they clatter dramatically on your plate, then noisily suck each and every one of your fingers clean of all that sticky barbecue sauce….

Oven Pork Ribs are ideal for Baby Back and St Louis Style Pork Ribs. It will also work for Pork Spareribs but the oven cook time should be reduced by 20 minutes (as they are less meaty).

🇦🇺In Australia, we do not (yet!) distinguish between various cuts of pork ribs (most are a Baby Back / St Louis style hybrid or they are very skimpy Spare Ribs). There’s also a great deal of inconsistency with how pork ribs are cut between butchers and the big grocery chains (Costco, Aldi, Woolies, Coles).

Marinated Pork Spare Ribs Recipe

Just look for meaty pork ribs that are nice an fatty. Avoid the ribs that are cut so close to the bone on both sides there’s barely any meat – miserable eating experience plus it’s criminal to pay for 70% bone!

I can’t remember where I first saw it, but I added it to my barbecue sauce once then I never looked back. It adds colour and intensity of flavour that can’t be replicated! Truly worth using if you can get your hands on it. If not, don’t fret – substitute with golden syrup or use dark brown sugar instead of normal brown sugar. Similar result!

The barbecue sauce in this recipe is used for both glazing and serving. It is literally a plonk and simmer job. Low maintenance and effortless, and really tastes of pure flavour compared to store bought (says she who has done side-by-side taste testing!).

It will look like we’re making a LOT, with the recipe calling for 1 1/2 cups of ketchup. But trust me when I say you want to have more rather than too little. There’s nothing worse than being stingy when glazing the ribs – you want to slather generously with abundance without worrying about saving some for serving!

In the spirit of a Southern barbecue feast, serve up your sticky oven pork ribs with a side of Macaroni Salad and corn on the cob (try the most amazing GRILLED Buttered Corn!).

As long as you get nice juicy, fatty ribs (which they typicallyare), it will be pretty hard to stuff this recipe up! Ribs are a tough cut of meat so they’re made for slow cooking until it’s nice and tender.

Easy Oven Bbq Baked Ribs Recipe

1. Ribs – Baby Back and St Louis Style Pork Ribsare ideal. Pork Spareribs also work well but reduce covered cook time to 1 hr 10 min (as they are less meaty).

In Australia, we do not (yet!) distinguish between various cuts of pork ribs. Most are a Baby Back / St Louis style hybrid or they are very skimpy Spare Ribs. Just look for meaty pork ribs that are nice and fatty, 2.5cm+ thick (including bone). They should have most meat on the upper side, and not much on the underside.

Avoidribs cut so close to the bone there’s barely any meat – miserable eating experience plus it’s criminal to pay for 70% bone! (Tip:Ribs from Costco are actually TOO thick, and a bit lean. They work for this recipe but leftovers don’t keep well. I go to Harris Farms, Costco and butchers)

Spicy Pork Spare Ribs

2. Alcoholic apple cider – using an alcoholic drink adds extra depth of flavour. Pale coloured beers (ordinary larger, pale ale etc) and other fruit ciders also work really well.

3. Vinegar – white wine or champagne vinegar also works well here. Plain white vinegar can also be used but reduce by 1 tbsp as it is a bit sharper.

4. Molasses adds an extra richness to the Barbecue Sauce and also deepens the sauce colour to the dark brown we know and love about barbecue sauce!

Mostly Make Ahead Bbq Ribs Recipe

Substitutes (best first): dark corn syrup (not available in Aus), 2 tbsp dark brown sugar, 1 1/2 tbsp golden syrup (though sauce colour will not be quite as dark), 2 tbsp normal brown sugar.

5.Pork ribs tenderness –this recipe is forgiving so don’t fret about exact timing here! At 1 h 30 min, use 2 forks to check if you can pry the meat apart with little effort (but not yet “falling off the bone with a touch”. Remember, they will get another 30 – 40 minutes in the oven!

7. Nutrition assumes all the Barbecue Sauce is consumed which it probably won’t be, also you lose some in the cooking process!
