Ingredients
  

For the Ribs
  • 2 lbs country style boneless ribs Juicy cuts of beef ideal for slow cooking.
For the Rub
  • 2 Tbs paprika Adds a rich, smoky flavor.
  • 1 Tbs black pepper Gives a subtle heat.
  • 3 Tbs brown sugar Balances the spices with a hint of sweetness.
  • 2 tsp coarse salt Enhances all flavors.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Imparts an aromatic quality.
  • 1 tsp onion powder Adds depth to the flavor profile.
  • 1 tsp cumin Offers a warm, earthy taste.
  • 1 tsp chili powder Introduces a mild heat.
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard Adds a tangy sharpness.
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce Provides a glaze that caramelizes.
  • 2 Tbs honey Adds sweetness and shine.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients: paprika, black pepper, brown sugar, coarse salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and dry mustard.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add the country style boneless ribs and sprinkle the rub mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Place the coated ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and cover with another layer of tinfoil.
Cooking
  1. Bake the ribs in the oven for 2 hours.
  2. While baking, mix together the BBQ sauce and honey.
  3. After 2 hours, take the ribs out of the oven and baste with the BBQ sauce mixture.
  4. Return the ribs to the oven for an additional 30 to 60 minutes, checking for tenderness after 30 minutes.
  5. Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and baste them again with BBQ sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For more flavor, marinate the ribs in the rub overnight. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 190°F for perfect tenderness. Broil for a few minutes after glazing if extra crispiness is desired.
