Jay's Baked Ribs Recipe

I'm a Texas girl at heart. I love meat, and I love BBQs. That's how you can win me over. Easy! Now that I'm in the Bay Area, I reminisce those days I ate at Rudy's, and Salt Lick, and Franklin's. I definitely took it for granted when I lived in Austin because BBQ was so easy to come by. It's just not the same here. But when I crave those things, I usually make something at home to satisfy. For instance, this week, I'm having a dinner party for friends, and I know the perfect thing to cook. Ribs! Who doesn't love lip-smacking, juicy, fall off the bone, BBQ ribs? At Costco, you can purchase 3 racks of ribs for about $25 dollars. Perfect for a dinner part of 6-8 people! With a few sides, like a salad, cornbread, potatoes, and corn, that's the perfect Southern meal. Here's my easy peasy rib recipe. I'm not lying when I say simple. Jay's Baked Rib Recipe (3 ingredients only) Ingredients:

• Dry pork rub (Find one at the grocery store. It need not be expensive)
• Pork ribs
• Your favorite BBQ sauce

Directions: 1. Preheat your oven to 300° F. 2. Peel off the membrane that covers the boney side of the ribs. The hardest part is finding an edge to start peeling, but once you do that, it should come off fairly easily. Look at corners for a piece to grip and peel. Otherwise, I like to cut the membrane with a knife between two bones and start to peel from the middle. 3. Now apply the rub on the front and back of the ribs. Be generous with the rub and coat evenly. 4. Lay the ribs on foil, meaty side down, and shiny foil out. Add another layer of foil on top and bottom and crimp the edges together. 5. Place the ribs onto a baking sheet and bake for 2-2.5 hours. 6. Remove from the oven, and put oven on broiler on high. 7. Cut ribs into serving sizes and brush on the BBQ sauce on every side of the ribs. Be super generous! 8. Place the ribs into the broiler, meaty side up and broil for 5 minutes, or until the ribs are charred to your liking. 9. Enjoy! And lick those fingers clean! Seriously so delicious! It really falls right off the bone. Another option for this recipe is to grill the ribs instead of broiling. Gives it that yummy grilled taste. To keep things simple, because after smelling cooking ribs for 2.5 hours, I just use the broiler so it can get into my mouth quicker! Craving ribs now?
