Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs

Ingredients

• 4 pounds pork spareribs
• 2 cups sliced onions
• 2 cups ketchup
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cups white vinegar
• 0.5 cups dark brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Worcestershire sauce
• 4 teaspoons mustard powder
• 4 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil , or as needed

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Split ribs down the center between the bones.

3. 3

   Mix onions, ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside 1/2 of the sauce for basting.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in several batches, add ribs and sear until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per batch.

5. 5

   Transfer ribs to two baking pans and arrange in a single layer. Pour remaining BBQ sauce over ribs.

6. 6

   Bake ribs in the preheated oven, turning and basting with sauce every 20 minutes and adding reserved sauce as needed, until meat easily pulls away from the bone, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

   Serve hot and enjoy!
