Ingredients
  

  • Full rack of lamb baby back ribs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mustard

Instructions
 

Preparing The Marinade

  • Create a marinade by combining brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Massage this mixture onto the ribs, ensuring they are coated evenly. Let the ribs marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for optimal flavor.

Getting The Ribs Ready

  • Remove the ribs from the marinade and let them come to room temperature. Preheat your oven to a low temperature and bake the ribs for a few hours until they are tender.

Slow And Steady Cooking

  • Low and slow is the key to achieving fall-off-the-bone ribs. The slow cooking process in the oven ensures that the meat becomes tender while retaining its juiciness.

Whipping Up The BBQ Sauce

  • While the ribs are baking, it’s time to create the signature BBQ sauce. Combine ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of apple cider vinegar. Simmer the mixture until it thickens and gets that wonderful BBQ sauce consistency.

Grilling To Perfection

  • Once the ribs are done baking, it’s time to finish them on the grill. The grill adds a lovely char and smokiness to the ribs. Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs while grilling, ensuring a sticky and flavorful glaze.
