Oven Roasted Ribs

This recipe was so fantastically easy and so delicious that I had to post it! I hated posting without a picture but these were gone in a flash before I even had a chance to get a picture. That is how good these are! If you decide to make these, be sure to plan ahead for at least a 4 hour marinade. I marinated mine overnight. These can be eaten as is or served with barbecue sauce. This recipe has tied for first place with our favorite Memphis style rib recipe. The cooking method for each is the same and both recipes yield a moist and tender rib. Both also use a dry rub, which in my opinion produces the tastiest ribs. The Memphis style ribs have a good savory flavor which is enhanced by the chili powder, paprika and oregano. In contrast, these ribs are also perfectly seasoned and have a slightly smokey garlicky taste to them. With either recipe I recommend using this barbecue sauce. There are worse things than having two killer rib recipes. The hardest part will be deciding which one to make next time! For a quick summer dinner, I served these with steamed corn on the cob and coleslaw.
