Easy and delicious oven roasted pork ribs! There was a time when cooking ribs was intimidating. Not any more! This recipe for oven roasted pork ribs is the easiest cooking method, ever!

Dry Rub Vs. Wet Marinade

For many years I used to think that wet marinades were the way to go for more flavorful ribs. A dry rub and good cooking method works just as well! A dry rub is essentially different ground spices mixed together. The skies the limit on the combinations one can mix for all kinds of recipes. Don’t get me wrong, I love saucy, sticky ribs too. For this recipe, I knew I wanted to serve with a spicy salsa and tortillas.

It’s More Than Just Sharing A Recipe!

Sharing recipes is great! But, for me it’s much more than that. I want to teach my followers different cooking techniques that work! For some, cooking can be stressful and intimidating. I want to be able to teach everyone how we all can enjoy delicious home cooked meals. Traditional Mexican recipes are my passion, but without the cooking methods, tricks and techniques they may not be as good. They are basic learning tools that can be used in other ways for different recipes too. For example, I would use this dry rub on chicken too. Same cooking method as the ribs. Hmmm, I think I just came up with my next recipe, lol!

      Hi Sara,

      The ribs are labeled St. Louis Style Pork Ribs. That is why I gave it that title. I am working with an online meat producer and the cuts of meat must be clearly listed as they are sold and labeled. I understand you confusion though.

    Hello! I want to thank you for all your hard work and passion you put into providing us with your delicious recipes. I certainly appreciate it. The spicy chili powder you have for the dry rub, will you recommend one? Are you referring to something like McCormick’s chili powder? Also, the salsa you’ve topped the ribs with, as shown in the photos, it looks delicious. Which salsa is it please? Thank you!

      Hi Mark! Are you on Instagram or TikTok? I make my own chile powder. I recently shared a video on how I toast and grind dried red chiles. I have a post on my blog on Homemade Chile Powder too. The ancho peppers on my blog post are not spicy, but you can use chile de arbol or chile puya. I have the salsa recipe on TikTok as well using the spicy chile powder I made.
