Unleash your inner BBQ genius and stoke the flames of flavour! With your rib rub and a few simple steps, you can master classic, southern-style ribs. Start by steaming the ribs in the oven to get that tender, fall-off-the-bone meat, and finish on the barbeque to get some char and smokiness. If you want to use spareribs instead, cook in the oven for an extra hour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 lbs (900 g) baby back ribs
  • 1⁄4 cup BBQ Chicken & Rib Rub, divided
  • 2 tbsp oil

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 300° F (150° C).
  2. Liberally shake 2 tbsp BBQ Chicken & Rib Rub on both sides of ribs. Rub in if desired.
  3. Place a cooling rack on a Sheet Pan and add water. Place ribs on top.
  4. Tightly cover Sheet Pan with foil and steam in oven for 1 1⁄2 hours. Remove and drain off any liquid.
  5. Preheat barbecue to medium-high.
  6. Combine remaining BBQ Chicken & Rib Rub with oil and liberally brush both sides of ribs. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side.
