Ingredients
- 2 racks pork ribs
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 4 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 tbsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 30 g butter
- 4 tbsp barbecue sauce
Instructions
- 1Mince Fresh Garlic

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. - 2Apply Black Pepper Base

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. - 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. - 4Massage Mustard Onto 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. - 5Press Minced Garlic Onto Meat

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. - 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. - 7Line Baking Tray with Butter and 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. - 8Seal Tray with Foil

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. - 9Bake in Preheated Oven

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. - 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. - 11Glaze with Barbecue Sauce

Squeeze barbecue sauce directly onto the freshly baked pork ribs while they remain hot in the tray, spreading it evenly.
Tip: Spread the sauce evenly across the surface for the best flavor distribution.
