Preparation Steps

1. Preheat Oven or Grill:

   • Oven: Preheat to 275°F.

   • Grill/Smoker: Set up for indirect heat.

2. Trim Ribs:

   • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor. Use a paper towel to grip and pull it off.

3. Season Ribs:

   • Rub the ribs with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dry rub. Let them sit for 30 minutes to soak in the seasoning.

4. Cooking:

   • Oven: Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

   • Grill: Cook ribs over indirect heat for 3 to 4 hours, basting with BBQ sauce for the last 30 minutes.

   • Smoke: Smoke ribs at 225°F for 5 to 6 hours, wrapping in foil for the last 2 hours to keep them moist.

5. Rest and Serve:

   • Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

• Try different rubs and sauces to discover your favorite flavors.

• For deeper flavor, marinate the ribs overnight.
