Perfect Oven Baked BBQ Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs
These boneless country-style pork ribs are incredibly simple to make right in your oven. They become tender and covered in a wonderfully sweet and tangy BBQ sauce.
Key Ingredients & Quick Tips for BBQ Ribs
- Boneless Ribs: These are actually cuts from the pork shoulder, which makes them very tender when cooked slowly.
- Your Favorite BBQ Sauce: Feel free to use any BBQ sauce you like from the store, or make your own for a unique taste.
- Low and Slow Cooking: Baking these ribs at a lower temperature for a longer time is key to getting them incredibly juicy.
What You Need for Oven Baked BBQ Ribs
- 2 lbs boneless country style pork ribs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
⏱️ Time: 2 hours 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make Oven Baked BBQ Country Style Ribs
Step 1: Get the Ribs Ready
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the pork ribs very dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss the ribs with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until they are fully coated.
Step 2: Bake the Ribs
Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer in a baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes. This slow baking makes them very tender.
Step 3: Sauce and Finish
Carefully remove the foil and drain any liquid from the dish. Generously brush the ribs with your BBQ sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes, brushing with more sauce every 10 minutes, until the sauce looks glazed and bubbly.
📝 Final Note for BBQ Ribs
Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes after you take them out of the oven. This helps the juices settle, keeping them extra moist and tender.
Easy Oven Baked BBQ Pork Tenderloin Recipe
This oven-baked BBQ pork tenderloin is perfect for a quick and simple weeknight meal. It’s fast to get ready and full of wonderful flavors.
Key Ingredients & Helpful Hints for Pork Tenderloin
- Pork Tenderloin Cut: This part of the pork is lean and cooks quickly, making it ideal for a faster dinner. Be careful not to overcook it to keep it nice and juicy.
- Quick Rub or Marinade: A simple rub or a short time marinating before baking helps the pork stay moist and boosts its overall taste.
- Resting After Cooking: Always let your tenderloin rest for a few minutes after it’s done baking. This lets the juices spread throughout the meat, making it more tender when you cut into it.
What You Need for Oven Baked BBQ Pork Tenderloin
- 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
⏱️ Time: 45 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4-6 servings
How to Make Oven Baked BBQ Pork Tenderloin
Step 1: Season the Pork
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and rub this spice mixture all over it.
Step 2: Sear (Optional)
If you have an oven-safe skillet, heat it over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s nicely browned. This step gives it a great crust. If not, you can skip this part and just place it directly into a baking dish.
Step 3: Bake and Sauce
Transfer the tenderloin to a baking dish (if not using an oven-safe skillet). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, brush the tenderloin generously with BBQ sauce.
📝 Final Note for Pork Tenderloin
The safe internal temperature for pork is 145°F (63°C). The temperature will rise a few degrees as the tenderloin rests, so taking it out at 140°F helps keep it perfectly cooked.
