Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs

Recipe View 5 mins Gather all ingredients for both the ribs and the BBQ sauce. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare the ribs by splitting them down the center between the bones for easier handling. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins In a large bowl, whisk together the sliced onions, ketchup, water, white vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and salt until well combined. Reserve half of this sauce for basting later. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the ribs until nicely browned on all sides. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Add more oil if needed. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Transfer the seared ribs to two large baking pans, arranging them in a single layer. Pour the remaining BBQ sauce (not the reserved portion) evenly over the ribs. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 hrs 20 mins Bake the ribs in the preheated oven, turning and basting with the reserved sauce every 20 minutes. Continue baking until the meat is incredibly tender and easily pulls away from the bone. This should take approximately 2 hours. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (140 minutes)
