Rub and cook ribs right away or rub and refrigerate for a few hours. Using a disposable foil pan or a foil-lined pan means no cleanup. - Jenny Jones

Ingredients:

2 pounds of beef ribs
juice of one lemon
1/4 cup dry rub (your own or my recipe)
1/2 cup barbeque sauce (your own or my recipe)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 275° F.
Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs if you can - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.
Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.
Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.
Coat ribs with dry rub. Place meat side down in a large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out.
Bake in the oven for 3 1/2 hours.
Remove from oven & pour off liquid.
Brush bbq sauce over all sides of ribs.
Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.
Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn.

How should spare ribs be cooked?

Ideal Technique & Temperature For Cooking Ribs Preheat your smoker, charcoal grill, or gas grill to 225°F - the ideal temperature for cooking ribs. Smoke/slow cook for 3 hours using indirect heat. Wrap the ribs in foil with some liquid and continue cooking for 2 hours.

How long does it take for beef ribs to cook?

Ribs are done usually at around 3.5 hours. The meat will be tender, but not falling off the bone, making them great finger food. If you want the meat falling off the bone, cook for an additional 30-60 minutes.

What is the fastest way to cook spare ribs?

Grilled Pork Ribs Season your ribs with salt and pepper (or whatever your recipe recommends) and get started. For quick cooking: grill on each side for 2-3 minutes, adding seasoning or basting if desired, for a total of 35 minutes of cooking time.

Is it better to bake or boil ribs?

The choice is yours, but for best flavor and moist spareribs, boiling is not recommended. Long cooking with low heat accomplishes the same goals of tenderizing and rendering the fat without the loss of flavor or moisture.
