A step-by-step method for preparing competition-quality BBQ pork ribs at home using an oven.

This video details a technique for cooking restaurant-style, fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs using only a standard oven. The process begins with removing the tough membrane from the ribs to ensure tenderness, followed by seasoning with a homemade dry rub and binding it with mustard. The ribs are slow-cooked to render the connective tissue, then wrapped in foil with butter, brown sugar, and fruit juices for a steaming step. Finally, the ribs are finished with a homemade BBQ sauce and briefly broiled to create a crust.
