Dry Rub & Rest

  1. 1. Remove the membrane from 2 full slabs St. Louis-style ribs.
  2. 2. Cut each slab in half.
  3. 3. Mix 30g salt, 15g black pepper, and 15g garlic powder together.
  4. 4. Rub mixture generously over every surface of the ribs.
  5. 5. Refrigerate overnight, uncovered.

Oven Roast

  1. 6. Preheat oven to 275°F.
  2. 7. Double-wrap the ribs in foil and set on a sheet pan.
  3. 8. Roast for 3 to 3.5 hours, until meat pulls back from the bones and shreds with effort — not falling off the bone.
  4. 9. Remove from oven and rest ribs 20 minutes, still packed tightly in the foil.

BBQ Sauce

  1. 10. Grate 100g white onion.
  2. 11. Mince 15g garlic.
  3. 12. Heat a drizzle of neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  4. 13. Add white onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. 14. Stir in 250g ketchup, 100g molasses, 30g Worcestershire sauce, 20g hot sauce, 20g apple cider vinegar, 20g yellow mustard, 5g chili powder, and 1g cayenne.
  6. 15. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  7. 16. Cook for 10 minutes, reducing sauce by about 25%.

Grill & Glaze

  1. 17. Preheat grill to high and oil the grates with oil.
  2. 18. Place ribs meat-side down and grill until charred.
  3. 19. Flip ribs so meat side is up and slather with BBQ sauce.
  4. 20. Close lid and cook 2 minutes.
  5. 21. Flip ribs so the sauced meat side is down against the grate, then sauce the bone side.
  6. 22. Grill until a light char forms on the meat side.
  7. 23. Flip again, sauce liberally, and grill 2 more minutes.
  8. 24. Repeat saucing 2–3 times total, allowing a few minutes between each coat for the glaze to lacquer up. Total grill time is around 8 minutes. Reduce to medium-high if your grill runs very hot.
  9. 25. Slice between the bones and serve.
