cooking ribs in the oven

[BradM]

Boo to oven ribs! If you can't smoke, cook them on the grill. And make sure and peel the silverskin!

Agree 100%! Google silverskin if you need to, a butter knife and paper towels help to pull it off.

Thanks Jimmy, your recipe was the shit! Before I put them on the grill they were dripping moist. A couple of turns on the grill and they were perfect, again the only changes were the rub and I used Rudys sauce, of course I took full credit as far as my wife was concerened.

Oh, shit. H got some stank on his hangdown!

Glad they turned out well for you.

Cook time - 4-6 hours
Temp - 225-250
wrapped or un-wrapped - Unwrapped, but In an iron skillet or dutch oven
seasoning/sauce - Black pepper, Paprika, Cumin, chopped onions / garlic , Tony Chachere's . Smother with BBQ sauce.

I cook them in the oven if I don't have time to smoke them. This same thing works good for making Pork BBQ. Following these instructions, you can also remove the bones and gristle. Then mix with BBQ sauce , fills up buns very good with slices of pickles.

I love Rudys sauce, have two jars in the pantry now.. But after my trip to Memphis and eating at Rendezvous, i make mine dry now.

I'm going to have to try this oven ribs recipe this weekend. I love ribs but never make them since I don't have a smoker. I did pick up a partially complete homemade smoke for free the other day, so hopefully in a few months I'll have it built.

Any suggestions for a store bought BBQ sauce that is similar to Rudy's? I love Rudy's sauce, but I'm out and and the nearest Rudy's is 2 hours away. I hate really thick and sweet bbq sauces. Stuff that is more vinegar based and a touch of spice is my style.

for those of you without a smoker, but have a gas grill, you can do the same method with only one burner, and a pan with wood chips in it to get some smokey flavor added to the ribs.

Just keep the temp inside the grill at 225-250ish

I don't recommend the wood chips in the oven tho

i tried this in my crappy gas grill a few weeks ago and they came out surprisingly good.

yeah, crappy grill or not, basically you are making an oven out of it.

Steady temperature in a sealed area. I've seen people bake cakes and pies in a gas grill too

This. And nothing beats a steamer for cakes.

I like to braise them. Pouch of heavy duty foil, dump in ~1/2-1 cup of whiskey, decent beer, whatever it is I have around to make a decent sauce base, then throw the pouches in a 250* oven for 3-4 hours. Definitely make sure you put them on some sort of pan with a lip, though. As much as I love the foil pouch method, there is a tendency for the ribs to puncture holes in it.

Pull them out after you're sufficiently happy with the tenderness, let them rest, build a sauce with the liquid, open up the pouches on top, turn on the broiler and brown them on top. Sometimes with a glaze, sometimes without.
