Irresistibly Delicious Baby Back Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

• Pork back ribs, 3 pounds, sliced into individual serving portions
• 1 cup of tangy ketchup
• ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar for a touch of fruity acidity
• 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce for a hint of savory richness
• 3 tablespoons of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness
• ½ teaspoon of salt to enhance flavors
• 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke flavoring for that irresistible smoky taste

Step 1

Immerse the ribs in a generously-sized pot filled with water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Lower the heat to a moderate level and let the ribs simmer until they become tender, which should take around an hour.

Step 2

In the meantime, take a saucepan and mix together ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and a dash of liquid smoke. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to a medium-low setting and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, which typically takes about half an hour.

Step 3

Prepare for the next step by preheating the broiler in your oven and adjusting the oven rack to be roughly 6 inches away from the top heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.

Step 4

Once the ribs are tender, drain them and transfer them to the foil-lined baking sheet with the meaty side facing up. Using a brush, generously coat the ribs with half of the prepared barbecue sauce. Place the ribs under the broiler in the preheated oven until the sauce becomes sticky and develops a light brown color, usually around 7 minutes.

Step 5

After this, flip the ribs over and brush them with the remaining barbecue sauce. Return the ribs to the broiler and continue to cook until the sauce caramelizes and turns sticky, typically another 7 minutes.
