I’m from Texas and I like for my meals to contain some tasty protein. Making these St Louis Style Ribs in the oven are pretty much what dreams are made of, y’all. If you don’t have a grill and still want to enjoy some good ‘ole home cooked ribs, you can make some delicious, fall off the bone St Louis Style Ribs in the oven.

I’ll be honest and admit that years ago you wouldn’t catch me trying to cook ribs. I always thought that making ribs was way too complicated and beyond my skill level. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Ribs are so easy to cook.

What are St Louis Style Ribs

St Louis Style ribs are cut from the belly of the animal after the belly has been removed. They are usually trimmed down, cutting away the hard breastbone and chewy cartilage, so the slab is more rectangular in shape.

They are flatter than some other rib choices which makes them easier to brown. While there is a lot of bone there is also a higher amount of fat, making them extremely flavorful if they’re cooked properly. Each slab usually weighs about 2 1/2 – 3 pounds and feeds about three to four people.

Because of the higher amount of fat in St Louis Style Ribs, they’re great for those following a high fat, low carb diet.

I love easy, simple recipes. That’s one of the reasons I often go with fresh pork. Cooking pork, whether it’s grilling, baking or pan frying, always gives me delicious flavor. And the flavor is what it is all about, y’all.

For this recipe all you’ll need is:

• Smithfield Extra Tender Fresh Pork St. Louis Style Ribs (or whatever brand you prefer)
• kosher salt
• cracked black pepper
• garlic powder

• sugar-free BBQ sauce (optional)

How to Make St Louis Style Ribs in the Oven

Making ribs in the oven is actually really easy. If you’ve been afraid of trying it, don’t let fear keep you from these delicious ribs!

Start by removing the ribs from the packaging and rinsing with water. Using a paper towel, pat the ribs dry. When you turn the ribs over you’ll see a shiny membrane. With a sharp knife, remove the silver membrane from the back side of the ribs.

Combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning onto ribs and rub firmly into meat. Make sure to season all sides.

Wrap the seasoned ribs in aluminum foil and place on baking sheet; set aside. Let seasoning absorb into the ribs while your oven is preheating. Place oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350° F.

Place baking sheet into the oven and bake for around 90 minutes or until ribs are tender.

Carefully remove ribs from the oven, discard foil and brush generously with your choice of barbecue sauce. Since we’re low carb – no sugar, we use a sugar-free barbecue sauce. Return baking sheet to oven and continue cooking for about 20 minutes or until sauce is nice and hot.

When cooking fresh pork from Walmart, please follow these cooking tips to ensure your pork is cooked properly. When cooking chops, loins and roasts, they are best enjoyed when cooked to 145℉ with a 3 minute rest. Accurate cook times for chops, loins and roasts are as follows: medium rare: 145-150℉, medium: 150-155℉, medium well: 155-160℉, and well: 160℉.

How Long to Cook Ribs in Oven on 350?

One of the questions I get most often is how long to cook ribs in the oven on 350° F? This isn’t a question that I can easily answer because it will vary based on the kind of ribs you’re cooking, how much the rack of ribs weigh, and how thick the rack is.

For a 3 pound rack of ribs, it will take about 2 hours when cooking in the oven. If the rack weighs less, it will probably take less time. If it weighs more, you’ll probably need to cooking for a bit longer.
