Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef ribs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- Pat beef ribs dry with paper towels
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs
- Place seasoned ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, bone side down, and cover tightly with another sheet of foil
- Bake for 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes) until tender
- Unwrap ribs, brush generously with BBQ sauce

Notes
Marinate ribs in the spice rub for several hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
Use a foil tent to retain moisture during baking.
Opt for a sweet, tangy BBQ sauce for a classic balance with beef.
