Ribs for the oven
I usually cook my ribs in the oven until they fall off the bone. I do not pre-cook or pre-steam the ribs before putting them in the oven because both methods will remove some of the moisture from the meat. As long as you clean your meat thoroughly, you should be able to roast them in the oven without any issues. The only thing left to do is create either a wet seasoning or a dry rub for the pork ribs.
To create a wet marinade, you can read about using Noubess hot and spicy sauces here. You can also choose any seasoning for the Noubess Shop to make your special dry seasoning to season your meat, poultry, or seafood.
What kind of pork ribs to buy?
There are four famous pork style ribs, and they are:
- Baby back ribs
- Spareribs
- St. Louis cut ribs
- Rib tips
Whichever cut of ribs you choose, this dry rub will be finger-licking good; as mentioned before, it is all about the seasoning.
For this recipe, we will be using baby back ribs, my favorite. Baby back ribs tend to be leaner than spare ribs.
How Long to Cook or Roast ribs in the oven.
Roasting or baking the ribs in the oven takes longer than one hour. I usually cover the ribs for the first 30 minutes, and depending on the thickness and weight; I will continue to cook them until they are tender. Usually, a slab of baby back ribs will take about 1hr 15 mins or 1hr 45 mins and again depending on the thickness of the meat.
Can you roast or bake frozen ribs?
No, not unless you want to add them to a Creole Sauce, Tomato Sauce, or Barbecue Sauce. As tempting as this sounds, I would suggest always defrost any meat you are ready to cook. It is better, and you don’t have to worry about cooking time and flavor.
What you will need to make the recipe.
You will need the following ingredients to make the recipe.
- A full rack of baby back ribs
- Noubess Steak Seasoning
- Noubess BBQ Seasoning
- Dried oregano (because this herb goes well with pork).
- ½ teaspoon salt (kosher or sea salt)
How to make Oven Baked Ribs
To prepare the ribs, remove any bone chips or debris and then remove the membrane. (You can also not remove the membrane if you so choose.) Slide your knife under the thin membrane thin located on the back of the ribs. Pull it off if necessary. Sometimes the butcher will remove the membrane for easy cooking.
Before rinsing your slab with a vinegar or lemon base water mixture, you must first decide if you will be cooking the ribs whole, in half or thirds. Once you’ve chosen, either cut or leave it whole, rinse the meat with the prepared water. Dry with a paper towel, and you are ready to apply the seasoning.
Rub the ribs with olive oil and set them aside. In a small bowl, combine your spice rub and massage it into the ribs on both sides. Place the ribs on your prepared baking sheet or roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil and place in the preheated 415-degree oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and lower the heat to 350 degrees F. Continue to cook until the meat falls off the bone.
Tips and Notes to make Oven Baked Pork Ribs:
- I sometimes spray the meat with Pam cooking spray just to help the meat crisp and to help it stay moist and brown nicely.
- the ribs are juicy and you may not need a BBQ sauce – If you are using a sauce, make sure you test the sauce first as the seasoning adds tons of flavor to the ribs.
- Serve with Potato Salad and Coleslaw if preferred.
