Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Beef plate ribs (4 pounds)
  • Barbecue sauce (1 cup (store-bought or homemade))
  • Cayenne pepper (1 teaspoon)
  • Paprika (1 tablespoon)
  • Onion powder (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic powder (1 tablespoon)
  • Black pepper (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (2 teaspoons)
  • Apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon (optional, for a tangy twist))

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a flavorful spice rub.
  3. Generously season the beef plate ribs with the spice rub, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor absorption.
  4. Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover tightly with another layer of foil to lock in moisture during cooking.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
  6. Once tender, carefully remove the foil and brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce. For an optional tangy twist, mix in the apple cider vinegar with the barbecue sauce before applying.
  7. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and become sticky.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
  9. Serve the beef plate ribs hot, accompanied by extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
