Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 275°F. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil.
2. Prepare Ribs: Place the beef back ribs on a cutting board.
3. Mix Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Season Ribs: Cover the ribs with the dry rub on all sides.
5. Bake Ribs: Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet, bone-side up. Cover with another sheet of foil and seal the edges tightly. Bake for 4 hours.

Recipe Notes

• This recipe is ideal for those who prefer a hands-off cooking method, as most of the time is spent waiting for the ribs to cook.
• For an extra crispy exterior, ensure the broiler is set to High and keep an eye on the ribs during the broiling step.
• You can adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your liking, and feel free to add other spices or sauces for additional flavor.
