Sticky Oven Barbecue Pork Ribs

Ingredients:

For the ribs:

2 kg baby back pork ribs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili or Cayenne powder (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil

For the marinade:

500ml barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. After peeling off the membrane that covers the underside side of the ribs, place them on a baking sheet or tray lined with foil or baking paper.

3. Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili or Cayenne pepper together. Sprinkle this combined seasoning over the ribs and drizzle with oil.

4. Rub the seasoning all over the ribs on both sides. Cover the tray with foil and bake for two hours.

5. In the last five minutes of cooking time, combine the sauce ingredients together to make the barbecue marinade.

6. Remove the ribs from the oven. Remove the foil and spread the tops of the ribs with the marinade.

7. Increase oven temperature to 240 degrees Celsius. Place the ribs back into the oven, uncovered, and bake for a further ten minutes. Change oven settings to broil, or grill, on medium-high heat to lightly char and caramelise the edges for about three minutes.

8. Rest the ribs for 10 minutes to allow the juices to recirculate back into the meat before slicing. Serve and enjoy.
