Equipment

1 sheet pan

Ingredients

1 rack baby back ribs about 2 ½-3 pounds
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
1 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. It's easy to do if you loosen it with a butter knife and then carefully pull it off.
Rub the ribs with yellow mustard on both sides. Generously coat the ribs with the seasoning mix (both sides as well).
Wrap the ribs with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap them tightly to seal in the moisture. Refrigerate the ribs in the oven at least 3-4 hours, or overnight.
When you're ready to cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the foil wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours.
Remove the ribs and turn the oven on broil. Place the rack in the middle of the oven.
Remove the ribs from the aluminum foil. (I use the foil to line the baking sheet to make clean up easier.) Generously slather side one of the ribs with half the bbq sauce. Broil for 9 minutes side one.
Remove the ribs, flip them over and slather the remaining sauce over side two. Return them them to the oven and broil for an additional 9 minutes. Keep an eye on the ribs, it may take a few minutes less on side two. Enjoy, the ribs will be tender, caramlized and delicious!

Notes

How to store leftovers

Storage - If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing - To freeze leftover ribs, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or store them in a freezer-safe airtight container. They can be frozen for up to three months.

Reheating - To reheat ribs, preheat your oven to 275°F. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil to keep them moist and warm them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes or until heated through. For a quicker option, use the microwave, but be sure to cover the ribs and heat them in short bursts to avoid drying them out.
