Ingredients

1 rack of baby back or st louis cut ribs (about 3 pounds)
1/4 cup mustard dijon or yellow
1/2 cup bbq rub seasoning
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
BBQ sauce (your favorite sauce)

Instructions

Prep the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness.
Season the Ribs: In a bowl, mix the rib rub and brown sugar.
Coat with Mustard: Rub mustard all over the ribs—this helps the seasoning stick and tenderizes the meat.
Add the Rub: Sprinkle the brown sugar and rib rub mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing it in with your hands.
Bake: Place the ribs on a lined baking sheet, meat side up. Cover with foil (completely wrap the ribs) and bake at 350°F for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Broil: Remove the foil, baste with plenty of bbq sauce and cook at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes to get a nice caramelized finish.

Notes

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for the most tender texture.
Wrap the ribs tightly in foil to help trap the moisture while baking.
Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the ribs.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing to help keep them juicy.
