Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork spare ribs
- 1 ½ cups bbq sauce
- ¾ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- A pinch of crushed red peppers optional
Instructions
- Cut ribs in half if needed so that they will fit flat into the dutch oven.
- Combine dried spices in a small bowl or ramekin and rub onto both sides of the meat.
- Alternate adding bbq sauce and ribs into the dutch oven, starting and finishing with bbq sauce.
- Pour broth around the sides of the pot.
- Cover and bake on the center rack at 300°F for 3 hours. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes.
Notes
- Leave the meat on the heat until it reaches about 190°-200°F. Check the temperature using an internal thermometer in the meat between the bones. Be careful not to touch the bones with the probe, or you'll end up with an inaccurate reading.
- Store leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in an oven-safe dish until warmed through.
