Joining us in the WFMY News 2 kitchen is Grill Master John Uhls from Longhorn Steakhouse. This morning he's teaching insider secrets for the perfect baby back ribs . Enjoy!

Baby Back Ribs

Inspired by LongHorn Steakhouse’s Executive Chefs

Ingredients

• 2 racks of baby back ribs

• 2 tablespoons of canola oil

• 2 cups of BBQ sauce of your choice

• 2 tablespoons of kosher salt

• 2 tablespoons of cracked pepper

• 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic powder

• 1 tablespoon of granulated onion powder

Directions

• You can find prepared and cut racks of ribs at your local butcher or grocery store. If you have a full rack of ribs, we suggest you cut them in half if you’re cooking in an oven in your home kitchen or on a standard gas grill.

• Season ribs with salt, pepper, granulated onion powder and granulated garlic powder.

• Lay ribs meat-side up on a baking sheet with an elevated edge. Add one cup of water and cover the sheet pan completely in aluminum foil.

• Bake in 325-degree oven for approx. 2 ½ hours or until meat is tender enough to be pulled from the bone.

• Chill the baby back ribs in the refrigerator for about one hour so that the meat doesn’t fall apart.

• Apply canola oil to grill grates and heat to medium-high.

• Place ribs on grill meat-side up.

• Grill for approx. 4 minutes.

• Flip so meat-side is down, and grill for 4 minutes. Apply BBQ sauce to the back of the ribs.

• Flip ribs one more time and baste meat side with BBQ sauce.

• Turn grill off and let ribs rest for 2 minutes, then brush with BBQ sauce before cutting them into 1- and 2-bone pieces.

• Serve with remaining BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Recipe serves four.
