Ingredients

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon cumin
4 pounds country style ribs *see notes
3 tablespoons water
1 cup bbq sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees
In a small bowl add all the seasonings and mix until combined.
Place the ribs in a 9x13 baking dish and sprinkle the seasoning mixture well on both side. Pour the 3 tablespoons of water into the baking dish. Cover with tightly with foil and bake for 2 1/2 hours.
Remove the foil and brush the BBQ sauce on top of the ribs, place back into the oven, and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes or until they are fork tender. Use a fork to pry some off to check if not, place it back into the oven for another 20-30 minutes. You can turn the broiler on high for the last 4-5 minutes (keep an eye on it) to caramelize the top, but it's totally optional. Serve!

Notes

Boneless short ribs, tri-tip strips or they can be used if you can't find boneless beef ribs.

Bone-in beef ribs or short ribs will also work, but depending on the weight, you may have to adjust the cooking time.

Slow Cooker directions: Season the ribs and place them into the slow cooker. Add the BBQ sauce and 3 tablespoons of water to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until fork-tender. Remove the ribs and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil and brush with more BBQ sauce. Broil on high for 4-5 minutes to get some caramelization.
