Favorite Short-cut Baby Back Ribs are made in the oven and come out consistently good time after time. This recipe is a delicious way to enjoy ribs all year round!
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the ribs. Wrap each slab of ribs in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 275°F oven for 2 and ½ hours.
BBQ SAUCE
While ribs are cooking, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onions until they begin to brown. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
RIBS
Preheat the grill to 400°F. When ribs are finished cooking in the oven, the meat should have pulled away from the bone at the end about ½-inch. You can return them to the oven to cook longer if they're not as tender as you want. Remove the ribs from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes.
When the grill is heated, remove ribs from foil and put them on the grill. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred when ready.
Brush BBQ sauce on the ribs just before they come off; careful not to add the sauce too early as it may burn. Remove the ribs from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (if you can wait that long) before serving.
