Description

These slow cooker BBQ beef ribs are seriously delicious and so tender! They fall off the bone beautifully and melt in your mouth. They are seasoned with a homemade dry rub, slow cooked for 6 hours until tender, and broiled with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds baby back beef ribs
  • ½ a yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove the outer membrane from the back side of the rack of ribs. On one end of the ribs, run a paring knife through the outer membrane layer until the layer starts to loosen and separate, then carefully peel off the membrane all the way to the other side.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry ribs with paper towel. In a bowl, mix all the dry rub ingredients. Evenly distribute and rub the seasoning all over the ribs, on both sides.
  3. Step 3: Place the ribs in a large slow cooker, lined up or curled up against the sides of the pot. Add onions, garlic, and water in the center. Cover with the lid, making sure it closes completely.
  4. Step 4: Cook on LOW for 6 hours until the meat is tender.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the slow cooker carefully and transfer to a large sheet pan, being careful not to break apart the meat.
  6. Step 6: Brush ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. Broil for 2-4 minutes until caramelized.
  7. Step 7: Serve with more BBQ sauce if needed. If desired, serve with some of the onions from the slow cooker.

Notes

Use a 6-quart slow cooker or larger. If ribs do not fit, cut into 2-3 pieces. For 4-pound ribs, increase cook time to 6.5 hours. The dry rub can be prepared up to 1 month in advance.
