Oven Baked Barbecue Ribs

A couple of weeks I was shopping for groceries at my local Aldi ( loooove that place ) and I noticed that they had Boneless Ribs. I personally do not like any meat that is on a bone, but my husband loves ribs, so I decided to buy them.
A few days ago I was looking in the freezer trying to figure out what to make for dinner and found the ribs. I did a quick search on Google for a few recipe ideas and decide to make something. I live on the top floor in a two story apartment building, so we can't use a grill on our balcony, so I had to get them in the oven.
I am very particular about the ingredients that I use. You will rarely see onion powder, or other things that can be replaced with real ingredients in my recipes.

This is the final result, and I did try to do step by step pictures, didn't really work out but whatever I have I hope it helps.

Oven Baked Barbecue Ribs

Ingredients :

  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1 small clove of garlic, minced / 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, plus more for cooking the ribs
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine
  • 1 cup water or beef broth
  • 1/3 cup tomato paste/ ketchup
  • 3 teaspoons mustard ( dijon mustard is better )
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 to 3 pounds of ribs

Preheat oven at 350F. Put olive oil in a medium size saucepan on the stove on medium heat. Add onion, garlic, vinegar and wine. Let them brown a little.

Add all the other ingredients and bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook over low heat until it thickens. Allow to cool.




Place the ribs in a large pan. Season with pepper and salt. Add around 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in the pan and then one to two cups of water.


Roast in the oven at 350F for one hour. Drain the grease and juices from the pan. Cover the roasted ribs with the sauce and bake for an additional 45 minutes or until the ribs are tender, basting occasionally if needed.
