When it comes to barbecue, there is nothing more traditional than ribs. These slow roasted barbecue ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious.
If there’s one thing I cannot resist, it is barbecue ribs. During a serious House of Cards marathon, I craved nothing but ribs for weeks. Dripping with sauce, meat falling off the bone, tender and tasty. There’s really nothing better for a barbecue than some drippy, saucy ribs. Paired with a cold beer, I’m set for life with a giant platter of these slow roasted barbecue ribs.
When the Sunday Supper theme of Summer Barbecues was announced, I didn’t think for more than two seconds on a meal choice. It had to be ribs. We’ve been eating them quite often around here lately. They cook slow and low in the oven for a few hours, which is perfect for a lazy Sunday evening meal. The slow cooking makes for a super, super tender piece of meat that practically falls off the bone. But first, slather the entire thing with a spicy, savory rub. It gives maximum flavor to the meat, which you later coat in barbecue sauce. Serve them with a side of paprika roasted potatoes, fries or some veggies and then dig in!
Ingredients
- 1 rack pork spareribs
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. oregano
- ¼ tsp. white pepper
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- BBQ sauce for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
- Combine garlic salt, cumin, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, oregano, white pepper and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet upside down. Use half the rub and rub it on the ribs, coating completely.
- Flip them right side up and use the remaining rub on the ribs, coating them.
- Roast, uncovered, for 2 hours.
- After they’ve cooked for 2 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and pour BBQ sauce on top. Use a brush to spread the sauce onto the ribs.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and return to the over for an additional 2 hours. Unwrap, brush with a bit of additional sauce and put under the broiler for a minute.

YUM, I love ribs so much!! I can’t wait to try your recipe!
First… Have to dry the drool dripping down my chin. Second… Yea… Following a House of Cards marathon I wanted to rent an RV and road trip it to every state that made ribs. I’m serious about my rib situation. Love these! Love the rub! LOVE!!
I totally feel you about the road trip! Watching that show always makes me want ribs, so badly! That and watching Louie always makes me want pizza.
These ribs look like the real deal. I never thought I could pull amazing ribs like that but I should try yours!
Mouthwatering ribs and summertime are always a winning combination! Great recipe!
Crumbs! Made the fatal mistake of looking at this recipe when dinner is already late. Perfect ribs.
Haha! I get it, I do that all the time!
House of Cards totally invokes ribs cravings. Is the next season almost out yet? 😉
I wish! I NEED to know what happens next! I was expecting season 2 episode 1’s big twist but was still totally stunned. And left with a huge rib craving.
I’m suddenly craving ribs.
Wish I could have ribs right now. It’s one of my favorite meats!
Mine, too! For sure!

Excuse my language, but “Oh Hell, yeah!” These ribs look perfect. Your ribs, my cucumber salad… I think we have a BBQ engagement party on our hands lol
