Baby got back Ribz

 

Ingredients

Ingredients for the ribs

• 2-3 pounds Baby Back Ribs also called “back ribs” or “pork loin back ribs” - 1 large slab - be sure to remove the vein from the backside of the ribs. It’s the skin by the bones. Pull that off. I do it because I do ! 🤣
• 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce

Ingredients for the barbecue sauce

• 1½ cup Plain Barbecue Sauce use your favorite brand
• ¼ cup Brown Sugar
• ¼ cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Yellow Mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

• You will also need: 1 Large Baking Sheet (18” x13” Sheet Pan), Aluminum Foil, Pastry Brush
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Add the Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and the soy sauce to a small bowl. Mix well using a fork, set aside.
• Cut two pieces of aluminum foil about 28-30 inches each.
• Line a large baking sheet with the foil. Place one piece vertically and place the second piece horizontally (running the length of the pan).
• Place the ribs in the center and rub the prepared Cajun seasoning mixture on both sides of the ribs.
• Fold in the sides to loosely cover the ends of the rib slab. Bring up the sides but don’t press them to the ribs, just make like a tray.
• Next, bring up the vertical piece of foil and fold a couple of times to make a packet. Don’t wrap the ribs too tight, seal the packet but leave room for air.
  
• Bake the ribs for 2 hours.
• When the ribs are almost done, prepare the barbecue sauce
• Add the barbecue sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, honey, ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce to a medium saucepan.
  
• Gently heat the sauce over medium heat. Stir frequently, almost constantly, to avoid sticking and burning.
• When the sauce comes to a simmer lower the heat to low and continue warming and stirring until the sugar melts and the ingredients are incorporated. Keep the sauce warm until ready to glaze, stir occasionally.
• Reserve about ⅓ of the sauce for serving.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully open the foil (there will be steam accumulated in there) and fold it down so that the ribs remain uncovered.
• Carefully turn the ribs (they will be very tender) so that the underside is up. Brush or spoon about a ⅓ of the barbecue sauce on the ribs.
• Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake them for 15 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully turn them so they are topside up, and brush the top of the ribs with the barbecue sauce. Bake another 10 minutes.
• Brush them one more time and bake another 10 minutes.
• Serve the oven barbecue ribs with the reserved sauce and lots of napkins. Enjoy!
