### Us Pork Ribs
**Ingredients:**
– 2 racks of pork ribs
– 2 cups of barbecue sauce
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons of smoked paprika
– 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon of onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. **Prep the Ribs:**
– Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the flavors penetrate more effectively.
– Trim any excess fat from the ribs while ensuring to leave a thin layer to keep them juicy during cooking.
2. **Create the Marinade:**
– In a bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful marinade will elevate the taste of the ribs.
3. **Marinate the Ribs:**
– Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow baking dish.
– Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure to coat them thoroughly.
– Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
4. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking method will ensure that the ribs become tender and juicy.
5. **Cook the Ribs:**
– Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
– Cover the ribs with another sheet of foil, crimping the edges to create a sealed packet.
– Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
6. **Glaze the Ribs:**
– Once the ribs are cooked through, remove them from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
– Brush the ribs with additional barbecue sauce for a sticky and caramelized finish.
– Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to glaze and caramelize.
7. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into individual portions.
– Serve the Us Pork Ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
