Mustard-tangy, fork-tender, low-effort. Oven does the work.

Ingredients

Rib rub

1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp celery seed
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Make it

Using a mortar and pestle, grind all the rub ingredients together until everything is crushed.
Smear the rib rub on the meaty side of 2 rib racks until coated.
Place ribs on a cookie sheet, cover with foil, and bake at 300°F for 3 hours or until fork-tender.
Broil the ribs for 2 minutes before removing from the oven.
Brush the meaty side generously with BBQ sauce — we used Lillie’s Q Carolina Gold.
