BBQ and Grilling

Yummy spareribs baked in the oven and basted with a delicious homemade BBQ sauce.

Ingredients
  • 4 pounds pork spareribs
  • 2 cups sliced onions
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
Step By Step Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Split ribs down the center between the bones.
  2. Mix onions, ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside 1/2 of the sauce for basting.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in several batches, add ribs and sear until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per batch.
  4. Transfer ribs to two baking pans and arrange in a single layer. Pour remaining BBQ sauce over ribs.
  5. Bake ribs in the preheated oven, turning and basting with sauce every 20 minutes and adding reserved sauce as needed, until meat easily pulls away from the bone, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
