Super Easy Barbeque Ribs

Easy Barbeque Ribs

These ribs are so easy and they are fall off the bone tender and the grill will caramelize the barbeque sauce and adds a little grill flavor, too.  Did I mention that they don’t make many pans dirty either.  It’s always a win when there is less mess and less clean up. Enjoy!

Equipment

  • 1 Baking pan 9x13 or larger
  • Knife
  • Large plate or platter
  • Tongs
  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 1 rack Baby Back Pork Ribs or Spareribs
  • 1 can Beer, any kind
  • 2 dashes Liquid Smoke
  • 1 20-28 oz Bottle of barbeque sauce
  • 1 medium Onion, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the rack of ribs meat side down, rib side up into a 9x13 pan or a roasting pan that the ribs fit in. Sometimes I will cut the ribs into 2-4 rib sections and then put them into the pan. They're a little easier to handle that way. 
  • Pour about two thirds of the bottle of barbeque sauce on the ribs.
  • Pour the beer into the pan, add your liquid smoke, and top with the sliced onions. There is no need to mix everything.  It does that as it cooks in the oven. 
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours. 
  • Remove the pan from the oven. 
  • Using tongs, take the ribs out of the plan and place on a platter.   
  • Add more barbeque sauce on both sides of the ribs. 
  • Place the rack of ribs or sections of ribs on a preheated grill.  I go with a low heat or on indirect heat. They will need to cook just a few minutes on each side to caramelize the barbeque sauce. Watch them closely.  The sugar in the barbeque sauce will make them burn quickly. 
  • Serve immediately.  Have plenty of napkins ready. They are moist and saucy.
