Step 3-Roast the Ribs
- Place the ribs bone-side down in the roasting pan.
- Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and roast for about 2.5 hours.
- Warning: Keep an eye on the oven temperature to ensure it doesn’t fluctuate, as consistent low heat is key to tender ribs.
Step 4-Basting
- After 2.5 hours, remove the foil and brush the ribs with barbecue sauce.
- Return to the oven uncovered, and roast for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Step 5-Check Doneness
- Ensure the ribs are cooked through, aiming for an internal temperature of around 190°F (88°C).
- Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Note: Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and succulent ribs.
Notes
- Low and Slow: Remember, the key to perfect ribs is cooking them low and slow.
- Basting: Baste the ribs with sauce several times during the final 30 minutes to build a rich glaze.
