- Oven - 9 X 13-inch Baking Dish - Heavy-Duty Foil (or Regular Foil) - Slotted Spatula - Broiler-Safe Baking Sheet - Mixing Bowl and Measuring Spoons - Airtight Container (for Leftovers) - Basting Brush (optional) - Glass Jar (optional)
– 3 pounds Country-Style Pork Ribs (about 8 ribs) – 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper – 2 tsp Smoked Salt – 1/2 tsp Black Pepper – 1 tsp Dried Thyme – 2 tsp Smoked Paprik
1. The Prologue: Preheat your oven to a scintillating 325°F. Arrange the ribs in a single, ungreased layer within the vast expanse of a 9 X 13-inch rimmed baking dish. 2. The Composition: Mix the dry rub elements into a flavorful crescendo, and with a graceful hand, sprinkle this symphony onto the ribs, setting the stage for the culinary performance.
3. The Oven Sonata: Cover the baking dish with a tightly drawn curtain of heavy-duty foil, or, if you prefer, a double layer of regular foil. The orchestra, i.e., the ribs, will play their tender tune for approximately 2 hours. 4. Intermission: With a slotted spatula, transport the cooked ribs to a broiler-safe haven—a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Arrange them artfully, exposing the fat to the broiler element, as the anticipation builds.
5. The Climax: Switch the oven to a dramatic broil on high (500°F), positioning an oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element (not directly below). The goal—sublime browning of the fat, a visual crescendo lasting 3-4 minutes. 6. The Finale: Baste the ribs with the pan juices, a final act of culinary grace, before serving this opulent dish.
