Cook Time: 4 hrs
Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 lbs boneless pork ribs
  2. 1 cup BBQ sauce
  3. 1 tsp paprika
  4. 1 tsp garlic powder
  5. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking method will ensure your boneless pork ribs become tender and flavorful.
  2. While the oven is preheating, prepare the pork ribs. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps the seasoning stick better.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a dry rub for the ribs.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the dry rub mixture over both sides of the boneless pork ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. This will enhance the flavor during cooking.
  5. In a large oven-safe baking dish or roasting pan, place the seasoned pork ribs in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will allow for even cooking.
  6. Pour the BBQ sauce over the ribs, making sure to coat them thoroughly. You can reserve a small amount of BBQ sauce to brush on later for added flavor.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture during cooking. This will help the ribs become tender.
  8. Place the covered baking dish in the preheated oven and cook for 3 to 4 hours. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will become. Check for doneness at the 3-hour mark.
  9. Once the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork, remove the dish from the oven. Carefully take off the foil, as steam will escape.
  10. If desired, brush the reserved BBQ sauce over the ribs for an extra layer of flavor. For a caramelized finish, you can place the ribs under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  11. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the ribs even more succulent.
  12. Serve the BBQ boneless pork ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans. Enjoy your delicious meal!

Tips

  1. Temperature is Key: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your ribs reach an internal temperature of 145°F for food safety and optimal tenderness.
  2. Moisture Magic: Covering the ribs with foil during the slow cooking process helps retain moisture and prevents the meat from drying out.
  3. Seasoning Secrets: For an extra flavor punch, let the dry rub sit on the ribs for 30 minutes before cooking to allow the spices to penetrate the meat.
  4. Sauce Strategy: Apply BBQ sauce towards the end of cooking to prevent burning and create a beautiful caramelized glaze.
  5. Resting Ritual: Always let your ribs rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
  6. Make-Ahead Magic: These ribs taste even better the next day, so don't hesitate to prepare them in advance and reheat gently before serving.
