FAMOUS DAVE'S BABY BACK RIBS (COPYCAT) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together brown sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, chili powder, onion powder, ground celery seeds, lemon pepper, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and ground yellow mustard seeds.
• Gently pull the thin membranes that surround the back of the ribs. This will help the dry rub marinate the ribs and prevent the ribs from contorting after roasting.
• Score both sides of the ribs, and generously sprinkle the dry rub all over. Spread the rub all around the rubs by hand. Store any leftover dry rub for future use.
• Cover tightly with foil ensuring all sides are sealed to prevent any liquid from leaking out. Chill and marinate for at least 3 hours but no more than 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the foil-covered ribs into a roasting tray and bake for 3 hours or until the meat is tender and is easily pulled off the bone.
• Heat up oil in a sauce pot over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. Then add pineapple juice, molasses, brown sugar, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Using a stick blender, puree the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once the ribs are tender, remove and discard the foil then brush the barbeque sauce around the ribs. Slice the ribs according to serving preference or serve entire slabs for guests to help themselves.
• Garnish with ¼ teaspoon of parsley. Can be paired with baked beans, corn muffins, or vegetable sides. Serve with ¼ cup of barbecue sauce per serving.
