Equipment

  • small bowl
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Baking Sheet
  • Saucepan
  • basting brush

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds baby back ribs (about 2 slabs)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Sauce

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup balsamic vinegar
  • cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • ½ Tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • Remove the membrane from the ribs (if desired), then rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry.
  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Massage into ribs.
  • Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, then cover them with another piece of foil.
  • Bake ribs for 2 - 2 1/2 hours (check at 2 hours to see if they're done, continue cooking if they're not).
  • While the ribs finish up cooking, in a saucepan over medium heat, add honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn down heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water, then add to the mixture and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Remove ribs from the oven and turn the temperature to broil. Brush ribs generously with sauce, then broil for 2-4 minutes (be sure to watch them closely so they don't burn).
  • Top with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • Removing the membrane from the ribs is optional, but I prefer ribs with the membrane removed.
