Ingredients

  • 2 lb. baby back ribs
  • 1 tbsp mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl mix the mustard seeds, smoked paprika, coriander, and onion powder together to make a BBQ rub.
  • Coat the ribs completely in the rub.
  • Wrap each rack in foil to form parcels. Arrange the parcels onto a baking tray then bake in the oven for 2 ½ hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and let cool. Peel back the foil and brush each rack all over with BBQ sauce. Place the tray back in the oven for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Before adding the rub, peel off the membrane on the bone side of the ribs for more tender and flavorful meat.
  • The fresher your spices, the more potent their flavor.
  • The slow-and-low approach to cooking in the oven keeps the meat tender.
