Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 lb. country style pork ribs ((about 8 ribs)*)
  • 2 teaspoons smoked salt ((available on Amazon))
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Arrange the ribs in a single layer in an ungreased 9 X 13-inch rimmed baking dish.
  • Mix together the dry rub ingredients, and sprinkle the rub on top of the ribs.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with heavy-duty foil (or a double layer of regular foil), and bake until the ribs are very tender, about 2 hours.
  • With a slotted spatula, remove the cooked ribs to a broiler-safe, foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Either flip them or place them on their side, so that the fat is exposed to the heating element. The goal is to brown it.
  • Switch the oven to broil on high (500°F) and set an oven rack 6 inches below the heating element (not directly below).
  • Baste the ribs with the pan juices, then broil them until the fat is browned, 3-4 minutes.
  • Baste the ribs one more time with the pan juices and serve.
