*Once in a while, you get a really meaty rib or two, usually on the ends, that may require a little extra cooking time.
I find 3 ribs per person to be a good serving size when served with sides. If making for a crowd, you can do two racks at the same time, just swap the top and bottom halfway through to ensure everything is cooking evenly.

.LET cook then when done spread sauce on top then.put under grill to bubble then.enjoy
Thank you so much, you saved my butt tonight! I followed your basic recipe. My tweaks were:
- dip each rib in marinade
- cover the roasting pan tightly with foil (this enabled the ribs to be jet-steamed for more tenderness)
- bake 1 hr
- loosen the foil all around the roasting pan to allow the steam to escape
- bake 15 min
- remove from oven, remove foil
- increase oven to 400°F
- add bbq sauce atop each rib
- return ribs to the oven for 15-18 minutes for the bbq sauce to glaze the ribs
This was pretty good for a rack of beef ribs, separated into individual ribs, and ready to eat in 1.5 hours. It’s understandably not fall off the bone tender, but then that would take 4-5 hours, which I didn’t have.
I served this with the super easy and fast Amish noodles, along with roasted broccoli.
This is an awesome recipe , the only thing I do differently which helps sort of "pressure cook" them lol is wrap the sliced ribs in about 4 pieces of foil tightly, around the length and width so that it steams the meat nicely which helps make them tender in a short amount of time , I then cook for an hour , then unwrap , slab on my fav barbecue sauce & cook for an additional 15 @ 400 degrees to get that nice crust & bam! Tender ribs at half the time !
Thanks Tracey!! These were the best beef ribs & cutting the cooking time in half! I had boneless but they were still great!!
They were delicious! like steak on a bone *-) didn't use BBQ sauce just salt & pepper.
Jerry, Thank you I followed your recipe & they turned out tender delicious ...
I have been baking my beef ribs like this for over 30 years and YES, no need to soak, braise, brown, smoke, etc. For some, fall off the bone is great but be prepared for a 3-4 hour process. I have neither the patience nor attention span for that so hats off to those of you that do. My husband prefers just sea salt and no sauce. Sounds like they would be dry but beef ribs seem to have enough fat that ours never have been. Thank you for sharing this as I'm not a blogger person but definitely the word needs to get out!
This was actually perfect for my needs. It’s 8 PM I don’t feel like spending three hours to cook ribs but I need something quick and all I have is ribs in the fridge. A recipe on how to cook them quickly and still enjoy eating them is exactly what was needed thank you so much from 2022
I love beef ribs but I have never made them myself. I have to apologize! I had this recipe and another one for long, oven-roasted ribs out with plans to make the long-roasted ones. Then I forgot to put them in the oven on time. So I thought that I would try this one. I only cooked three ribs because I thought that when they come out tasting terrible and very tough, I don't want to have wasted a whole rack of ribs. OMG! These were wonderful and, miracle of miracles, they looked just like the photo.
The only thing I did differently was before the first oven bake I sprinkled on some Susie Q Santa Maria BBQ Seasoning. I now have to decide whether I will try the other recipe or use this one again to finish off the rack. These could not have been better.
I started the ribs by generous encrusting with salt and pepper on both sides. Then brushed one side with molasses and brown sugar. Placed brown sugar side down on oiled foil lined pan. Molasses and brown sugar on the top. Baked according to the recipe. Magnifique!
I just made this recipe because I was dying for some ribs. Like most I don't have alot of time to grill. I was a bit skeptical but this recipe was awesome!! And you're right, lots of napkins and burnt fingers. Thank you!!
Did you make this recipe?
