Beef back ribs
Beef back ribs (oven, fast)
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Your oven will transform these ribs into a succulent and juicy meal, but don’t forget to preheat! It is essential to ensure your ribs get cooked on time.
- Preheat and Prep. Before you begin, turn your oven on to 350°F (176°C) to make sure it’s the perfect temperature to cook the ribs. Line a large baking tray with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Rinse the beef ribs. Rinse the 3 pounds of beef ribs under cold water and pat them very dry with paper towels. Then, place them onto a large plate or plastic cutting board for preparation.
- Prepare. If you wish, pull off the membrane from the underside of each rib. First, use a butter knife to loosen the membrane. Then, use your hand or a paper towel to peel the membrane away from you. Next, cut each rib apart from each other, cutting between each bone down the rib rack.
- Season. Coat each rib with the dry seasoning, being sure to cover each piece completely. No need for extra oil: beef ribs naturally have more fat, which will render and keep the meat moist and juicy.
- Bake. Place the ribs onto your prepared baking tray and bake for 1 hour. Use this time to get your sides and, if you’re making it, home-made sauce ready.
- Sauce ‘em up. After one hour, pull the ribs out of the oven. Increase the temperature to 450° F (232° C). Drench your ribs with one cup of your favorite or home-made BBQ sauce, coating every inch.
- Caramelize the ribs. Return the ribs to the oven at 450°F (232°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce begins to bubble and look delicious. Keep your eye on the ribs so they don’t burn!
- Serve and enjoy. Take the ribs out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

TIPS AND NOTES:
- You can make this recipe a seafood boil by just adding other seafood variety like mussels, crabs, clams and more!
- You can add more hot sauce as you wish depending on how spicy you want it.
- You will definitely have extra sauce here. I suggest saving it and store in the freezer for future use.
- If you can't find Cajun seasoning or you wanted to make your own, combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne and thyme. Add 2 tbsp Paprika and 1 tbsp each for the rest of the mentioned seasonings. You can adjust them to your liking.
