Hello All,
I’ve had some requests for my BBQ rib recipe. These instructions should produce some good results for pretty much anyone.
You may notice the omission of Honey in this recipe. You are absolutely free to add this. It really depends on how sweet you like your ribs. Honey can be glazed onto the ribs at the end of the second “session” and bake for an extra 15 minutes.
You’ll also probably notice that these instructions are for the oven. This is because the oven is a more precise cooking instrument. This recipe doesn’t require particularly high heat, so a barbeque grill isn’t absolutely necessary.
If you know your barbeque grill really well (and can be accurate within 15 degrees), feel free to use it. A grill may be especially handy if you want to omit the liquid smoke and go with a mesquite wood or briquette (this method would be less foolproof, but would make you a BBQ legend if you can pull it off repeatedly).
Please feel free to let me know of any alterations/experimentation/inspirations. I absolutely want to know if you have good or bad results, so I can tweak this recipe to be more foolproof.
Enjoy.

Ingredients:
- 1 rack pork spare ribs!
- 1 cup ketchup – I believe this ingredient originated in China, but can’t prove it entirely
- 1/2 – 1 1/2 cup sugar – The amount wholly depends on how “diety” one feels at the time of cooking
- 1/4 cup A1 or Heinz 57 Steak Sauce – It depends on your political affiliations
- 1 tsp garlic powder – It’s better if you have 2 cloves finely minced, but any garlic is better than no garlic
- 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce – I almost omitted this, because it’s impossible to spell correctly
- 1/2 – 1 tsp liquid smoke – You can change the amounts depending on how deep in the South you want your ribs to taste like
Instructions:
Fill a 12” deep sauce pan with 2” of water. Bring the water to a boil and carefully place the rack of ribs in the pan as flat as possible. The ribs don’t have to be covered completely. Let simmer/braise for 20 minutes.
Combine the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Place the ribs flat on a cookie sheet (after the 20 minutes of braising has elapsed). Brush approximately 1/2 the total amount of sauce onto both sides of the ribs.
Put the ribs into the oven uncovered and let bake for 1/2 hour.
Brush the remaining sauce onto the both sides of the ribs (don't be shy). Then place the ribs back in the oven for another 1/2 hour.
