Ingredients

  • 2 whole slabs pork baby back ribs

 

For the Dry Rub:

  • 8 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

For the Braising Liquid:

  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
 

Instructions

 
Step 1: Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
 
Step 2: In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well.
 
Step 3: Place each slab of baby back ribs on a baking sheet. 
 
 
Step 4: Ribs should be shiny side down. Sprinkle each side generously with the dry rub. Pat the dry rub into the meat. Refrigerate the ribs for a minimum of 1 hour. 
 
 
Step 5: In a microwavable container, combine all ingredients for the braising liquid. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
 
Step 6: Pour half of the braising liquid on the ribs. Tilt the baking sheet in order to equally distribute the braising liquid. Braise the ribs in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
 
 
Step 7: Transfer the braising liquid into a medium saucepot. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce by half or until of a thick syrup consistency. 
 
Step 8: Brush the glaze onto the ribs. Place under the broiler just until the glaze caramelizes lightly. 
 
Step 9: Slice each slab into 2 rib bone portions. Place the remaining hot glaze into a bowl and toss the rib portions in the glaze.
