Ingredients
  
For the Homemade BBQ Rub:
For the Beef Ribs:
  • 2 racks beef ribs, membrane removed, and cut into slabs of 3-4
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
 
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (148°C). Then, prepare the beef ribs by removing the silver membrane (see note) and cutting them into slabs of 3-4 bones. Coat them on either side with the homemade BBQ rub.
  • Wrap them in foil and line them onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack for 2 hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil and brush them with bbq sauce using a pastry brush. Then, low broil the uncovered for 5-8 minutes until they are sizzling.
  • Allow the ribs to cool before serving, and enjoy!
Notes
Expert Tips: 
  • Remove the membrane and cut the ribs into slabs of 3-4; this is the easiest way to serve ribs hot off the grill. 
  • Follow the instructions for removing the membrane from the ribs. Leaving it on results in tough ribs, and no one wants that.
How do I know when the ribs are done?
  • The safe internal temperature for ribs is between 190°F (87°C) and 200°F (93°C). I prefer the tenderness of ribs at 200°F (93°C), but that's a personal preference. If you haven't purchased a meat thermometer, check out the one we use; it's worth the investment for perfectly cooked ribs every time!
How to Remove the Membrane: 
  • Slide a knife under the membrane.
  • Lift and pull the membrane until it tears. Use your knife to pull it away if necessary.
  • Using a paper towel or your hand, grab the edge and pull it off. If you’re lucky, it will come off in one try. Otherwise, you may need to remove it in smaller sections.
