Open in Pepper →Ribs feel like a weekend project, but most of the work is just time. Rub them, cover them, let the oven or the slow cooker do the long part, then sauce and finish while the sides come together.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when company is coming, when the game is on, or when they want dinner that mostly cooks itself while they're doing everything else.
Every recipe here is a real rack somebody made at home: Crockpot BBQ Ribs with a smoky rub, Bachan's BBQ Ribs with honey and garlic, Baked BBQ Ribs slathered in yellow mustard and dark brown sugar, spicy Korean BBQ Ribs with gochujang, and Smoked BBQ Ribs on spare ribs.
Pull the membrane off
Slide a butter knife under the thin silver skin on the bone side and pull it off with a paper towel. It takes 2 minutes and keeps the rub from sliding off.
Use mustard as glue
A thin coat of yellow mustard over the whole rack helps a dry rub stick. You won't taste it after cooking.
Cook low and slow
Baby backs run about 2 1/2 to 3 hours at 275°F wrapped in foil; spare ribs need closer to 3 1/2. They're done when the meat pulls back from the bone.
Sauce at the end
Brush on BBQ sauce only in the last 15 to 20 minutes, uncovered, so the sugar caramelizes instead of burning.
