Ingredients

Scale

1 rack beef back ribs (1.5–2 pounds)
Salt & black pepper
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup beef broth
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced

Fresh thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the Ribs: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat ribs dry and remove the membrane on the back.
Season: Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Rub olive oil on ribs, then coat with the spice mix.
Sear: Heat a pan over medium-high and sear ribs 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Braise: Place ribs in a baking dish. Add beef broth, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and garlic to the pan. Simmer, then pour over ribs. Cover with foil and bake for 2.5-3 hours.
Finish: Increase oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush ribs with more barbecue sauce and bake for 15 minutes to caramelize. Optionally, grill for 5 minutes per side for extra smokiness.

Serve: Let ribs rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with thyme and serve with your choice of sides.
