Had the day off today, and I went to Publix to find something for dinner tonight. I bumped into several packages of beef ribs on sale. A half slab (about 3 – 4 ribs) was only $1.45!! Even though that is not what I’m ultimately cooking for dinner tonight, I still HAD to buy them. Since I have them, and they are small, I won’t use the smoker, but will instead use my TNT oven method.
Easy Oven Ribs
Ingredients
1 Slab Ribs (Beef or Pork)
1/4 cup Apple juice
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Spice Rub (Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, Pepper)
Favorite BBQ Sauce (optional)
Procedure
Preheat oven to 225 to 235 degrees. Give the ribs a good rub with your Spice Rub. In an oven safe baking dish, add the Apple Juice and Vinegar. Place a trivet in the dish. Lay the ribs on the trivet. Cover tightly with foil. Bake in the oven for 4 hours or until the meat is pulling away from the bones.
Optional: When done, uncover, slather on the BBQ sauce and place under the broiler for 5 – 8 minutes to set the sauce.
Notes
If you don’t have a trivet small enough for your baking dish (like I didn’t in these pictures), then use a couple of completely metal forks. Lay them in the dish with the tines of one facing left and the other facing right. Lay the ribs on the forks, and they will balance there nicely. Or use a couple of clean tuna cans with the label and glue scrubbed off and both ends (top and bottom) cut out. You use the trivet to keep the meat out of the liquid. You don’t want to boil the ribs, but instead provide a moist heat in the covered dish.
Get yourself some ribs.
Give them a rub.
Place them on a trivet in a baking dish that has your Apple Juice and Vinegar in it.
Cover tightly and bake at 225 for 4 hours till cooked through.
Slather with sauce and place them under the broiler for a few minutes to set the sauce.
