Chef Dennis Littley
You're going to love my Barbecue Beef Ribs! They make the best fall-off-the-bone tender ribs with less than 10 minutes of preparation. Cooked low and slow they will be amazing delicious, and just about melt in your mouth.

Instructions
 

  • Rinse ribs in cold water then dry using paper towels. Make sure the ribs are well dried.
  • Blend the spices and brown sugar together.
  • Brush the ribs with oil.
  • Rub the seasoning mixture into the beef ribs. Add additional olive oil if needed.
  • Put the seasoned ribs into a sealed plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 275F.
  • Cover a baking pan with foil.
  • Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer on the baking dish.
  • Cover the ribs with another sheet of foil, leaving some room between the ribs and the foil. Make sure the foil is tight, so steam does not escape.
  • Place the ribs on the center rack of a preheated oven.
  • Cook the ribs for 3 ½- 4 hours, until you've reached an internal temperature of 205° F. or until bone starts to separate from the meat and meat is tender.
  • Brush the ribs generously with your favorite barbecue sauce.
    *You can also finish the ribs without barbecue sauce.
  • Broil the ribs on low for 3-4 minutes until the sauce gets bubbly and begins to caramelize. Don't let it burn!
