Instructions

  1. 1Mince Fresh Garlic
    Fresh garlic cloves being chopped in a manual food processor on a wooden board.

    Place fresh garlic cloves into a small manual food chopper on a wooden cutting board and press down firmly to mince them finely.

    Tip: Make sure the garlic is uniformly minced to distribute the flavor evenly over the ribs.
  2. 2Apply Black Pepper Base
    Black pepper powder being added to raw pork ribs on parchment paper.

    Lay out two raw pork ribs on parchment paper and sprinkle black pepper powder evenly over the entire surface.

    Tip: Apply an even layer of black pepper to build a flavorful base seasoning.
  3. 3Squeeze Yellow Mustard

    Squeeze yellow mustard directly onto the surface of the seasoned raw pork ribs to serve as a flavoring binder.

    Tip: Yellow mustard helps subsequent seasonings and rubs adhere better to the meat while adding a mild tang.
  4. 4Massage Mustard Onto Ribs
    Hands massaging yellow mustard evenly over raw pork ribs.

    Use your hands to rub the yellow mustard evenly across both sides of the raw pork ribs for complete coverage.

    Tip: Ensure every part of the meat is coated with a thin, even layer of mustard.
  5. 5Press Minced Garlic Onto Meat
    Minced garlic being pressed onto the surface of seasoned pork ribs.

    Take the freshly minced garlic and press it firmly onto the surface of the seasoned and mustard-coated raw pork ribs.

    Tip: Pressing the garlic firmly helps it stick to the surface during the marination process.
  6. 6Final Seasoning Grinds

    Use a black pepper and salt grinder to add an extra layer of fresh seasoning across the prepared ribs.

    Tip: Freshly ground salt and pepper provide a sharper, more vibrant flavor profile.
  7. 7Line Baking Tray with Butter and Foil
    Butter cubes being placed onto a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.

    Line your baking tray thoroughly with aluminum foil and distribute small butter cubes evenly across the bottom to add richness as the ribs roast.

    Tip: Ensure the foil covers the entire tray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  8. 8Seal Tray with Foil
    Aluminum foil being used to tightly cover the baking tray containing the seasoned ribs.

    Place the seasoned pork ribs into the prepared baking tray and cover the tray tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture during baking.

    Tip: Seal the edges of the foil securely around the rim of the tray so steam cannot escape.
  9. 9Bake in Preheated Oven
    The covered baking tray being placed inside an oven set to 180 degrees.

    Place the covered baking tray inside an oven preheated to 180 degrees to roast the ribs slowly and evenly.

    Tip: Make sure the oven temperature is stable before placing the tray inside.
  10. 10Take Tray Out of Oven

    Carefully remove the baking tray from the oven using heat-resistant gloves once the baking time is complete, watching out for hot steam.

    Tip: Watch out for hot steam when opening the oven and pulling out the tray.
  11. 11Glaze with Barbecue Sauce

Frequently Asked Questions

Yellow mustard acts as an adhesive binder to help rubs and spices stick to the meat, and its sharp tang mellows out completely during baking.
Removing the silvery membrane on the back of the ribs allows seasonings and heat to penetrate better, resulting in more tender meat.
Covering the tray traps steam and moisture, preventing the ribs from drying out while they roast in the oven.
